This site exists to make the divinity of Jesus Christ

an unavoidable issue to skeptics of Christianity

and to help strengthen the faith of fellow believers.

 

 

Hello seeker,

The purpose of this site is to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jesus was who he claimed to be; "The Son of God."

We'll begin by demonstrating that the Scriptures are reliable and trustworthy historical documents (Note - at this point, we are not yet dealing with miraculous claims). This is confirmed by applying the ordinary test of historical criticism to the Scriptures.

Once it is established that the Bible is a valid historical record, the next point is realising that Jesus Christ claims to be the unique Son of God.

Then, we examine the evidence for the resurrection contained in this historic document and find that the arguments overwhelmingly support the contention that Christ has risen from the dead.

Neither God nor the resurrection are directly observable, but from data that are directly observable we can argue that the only possible adequate explanation of this data is the Christian one.

This is not circular reasoning. It is establishing certain facts and basing conclusions on the sound logical outcome of these facts. The case for Christianity can be established by ordinary means of historical investigation.

 

A quick little note on evidence, proof and faith.

 

It is recommended that you read the "evidences" and "claims of divinity" pages in order first before proceeding the the outline of choices.

Happy motoring . . .
