well if walking on water, bringin dead people alive, blind to see, ill to healed or any of the thousands of miracles he performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people aren't enough then I guess he's just a gifted man.
And for whoever said stories change as time goes on....hmmm, so in 2000 years will people possibly be saying that there never was an Atomic Bomb dropped.....Or how about saying 1776 was just a normal year no biggie..we have no video of that but we know its true because you should have learned it in school. Forget then that Jesus was crucified because that was made up and no one has ever been crucified that long ago because we don't have an mpeg of it...AND lets just pretend that Jesus rose from the dead and walked into a room full of people who had SEEN him crucified only to show them his wounds and his life-like body.
As much as people HATE not having an mpeg of Jesus' resurrection, they will only know the truth when their time comes. It's VERY easy to not be a believer, so go ahead, take the easy way out people.
The top reasons people do not believe in God is plain and simple: They prayed one night and it "didn't work" or someone died that "shouldn't have" or why are people depressed, sick, and dying and no one ie God is doing anything about it. People lose hope EASY, they give up EASY, if something is difficult they won't do it. Try not swearing for a day, a week, try not looking at porn for a day, for a week. Try not saying something negative to anyone or even try to not think negative for severral days and tell me you don't feel better. Read the Bible. Talk to believers, DONT give up on yourself because you're so stubborn you don't want to be the "first believer in your family" or something like that.
Faith is essential. I wonder what non believers must think when something catastrophic OR something awesome happens to them....do they always blame God or do they ever THANK him for the good things in their life? Everyone's so quick to jump on the hate or non belief wagon b/c it seems like SO much going on today is "BAD" Well, alot today is BAD but millions of people are experiencing Gods hand (everyone does at some time or another) and don't even care to thank him and praise him.
Finally, Jeez, look up at the sun. Look at the Moon. Visit an Ocean. Study the human anatomy. Go outside and wonder why its not 250 degrees out or 300 degrees below zero. Think about all the good things that have happened in your life. DO NOT play "do they outweigh the good things in life." No one knows why God lets the things happen that have and are happening, but rest assured my friend, he'll be back. It may not be in your lifetime or your child's lifetime, that's also not our job to guess or predict. Your job is to be ready.
