Historical Evidences

…Why I believe in Jesus, and follow Him instead of other gods


When it comes to “why” I believe in Jesus and the Bible, it comes down to all the supportive evidences that show beyond a reasonable doubt that He really was a real man who actually lived (from 0-33AD) and that, in his short life of 33 years, He personally fulfilled over 360 prophecies which were predicted in a very well-documented historical book which I can read for myself – called the Bible.

Jesus is by far
the most “evidentially-based”
religious leader
of all the religions on the planet!

What’ you got?  I’ve got real, actual, tangible, historical and scientific evidences for my faith in Jesus.  

  • Things archeologists dug-up from the earth – like ancient scrolls, ancient cities
  • Things scientists have discovered with microscopes or telescopes – not seeable  by the naked eye

 

Just as the DNA of humans are the building blocks that make-up a human, the “DNA” of God, so to speak, is made by all the material evidences we see that point to His existence. 

diagram-41531_1280pixabayAccording to forensic scientists, DNA material left behind by a person is proof positive that a specific individual human was there, be it by burial remains or DNA strands left behind during active life.  DNA evidence is so exact that government authorities convict and incarcerate criminals because the DNA left behind at the scene of a crime – gives them proof positive of exactly who it was that was there!  DNA left behind matches exactly, beyond any doubt, with only one person on the planet. 

If we believe forensic scientists, we should take a very close look at the forensic 1 evidences for God 2.  I do not accept what smart Alec the scientist/mathematician/actor/guru or whoever opines about his atheistic/agnostic/or whatever religious beliefs.  I look at the evidences.  Have you really examined what your church or denomination or mosque teaches?  Have you put them to the test?

Put them to the test!

Opinons are cheap, whereas true evidences are irrefutable.  You can argue with arguments, but evidence is evidence.  Arguments are merely what you think, whereas evidence scientifically supports what cannot be refuted.  You can deny belief, but you cannot refute the facts.

This is so true in our courts of law that men are jailed by them.  Men are executed by them.  Why not put your faith to the test?  It is stupididiotic to just believe something just because….  Do you really want to look back at your life from the other side, the eternal side, and realize THEN that you were stupididiotic?

I wanted to be convinced by the facts, so I examined the evidences.  I personally put my religious beliefs to the test – and found that Jesus is by far the most “evidentially-based” 3 religious leader of all the religions on the planet!  After all the evidences – how could I reject Jesus?!  I accepted Jesus because He is who He said He was.

I challenge you: Find historical and scientific evidences for your religious beliefs.  There is no better way to be certain that what you think is correct, than to challenge your beliefs with real, true evidences.

Take the challenge.  It might change your eternity.  I took the challenge and it has changed my life forever.  My faith in God is not a willy-nilly patchwork.  The Christian faith is not inconsistent with historically verified facts.  I have based my faith on tangible evidences that cannot be refuted.  Have you?

Are humans the accidental products of a blind and uncaring universe? Or are they the beneficiaries of a cosmic order that was planned beforehand to help them flourish? Privileged Species is a 33-minute documentary by Discovery Institute that explores growing evidence from physics, chemistry, biology, and related fields that our universe was designed for large multi-cellular beings like ourselves. Featuring geneticist and author Michael Denton, the documentary investigates the special properties of carbon, water, and oxygen that make human life and the life of other organisms possible, and it explores some of the unique features of humans that make us a truly privileged species.

Biblical Homosexuality

Inexplicable Joy

One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy is different. It is a deep seated contentment. Everything is right! No sorrow or grief. […]

Jesus is Creator God

So why on earth not?  Why on earth NOT believe in Jesus – and follow Him closely, intensely, with all that you are? What else do you have going? What else on earth is worthy of choosing – above Jesus?

What a privilege God gives us

It cost God to make us His children of privilege.  Jesus made this privilege possible for all who come to Him – not just to some, but to all peoples.  Some do reject Him (Hebrews 4:6).  Their choice.  It is a choice, to receive Him or not.  Have you accepted salvation in Christ?

Bought with a price—the blood of Jesus

Chorus: I am redeemed, but not with silver; I am bought, but not with gold; Bought with a price—the blood of Jesus, Precious price of love untold. Song: Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption Lyrics: James Martin Gray (1851-1935) Music: Daniel Brink Towner (1850-1919) 1 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption; No riches […]

Make Self Talk… God Talk. It goes on and on and on

Speaking to God silently inside your mind: God-Talk… is praying to God without voicing it out loud. “Self Talk” and “God Talk”- He sees into your thoughts, your feelings, your intentions, your falseness or genuineness, your honesty or lies, what you really are inside of your mind and heart.”
