Case for Christ

In Lee Strobels "a case for Christ" A case is made to try and prove that the Bible is not just a fantasy book. Nonbelievers believe that the Bible is full of tall tales. Lee Strobel does his best to prove and get evidence that it is more than just a book. He is trying to prove that it 's fact and nonfiction.

Do you Strobel went on a two-year face extravaganza journey. He is a very educated man having done to Oxford and Harvard. He is a lawyer and he decided to take on one of the hardest cases it 's not the actual hardest case ever. He set a goal to prove or at least tried to prove that the Bible, basically the whole New Testament, what 's fact.The

I am glad that there is evidence that many events are historical fact in the bible. It is hard for me to put words on my feelings for this book and I mean no offence. I have had much conflict and argument throughout my childhood and life, so that is maybe why I am almost angered that the bible has to be argued about. I’ve never like it when preachers try to sell their ideas to me in a way that I feel bad at the end of the day if I don’t believe them myself. Im a very open minded person but I don’t like when people force feed me their opinions, even if there is books full of evidence. I guess I just don’t want to hear it. Maybe that makes me unteachable to some people? Maybe that makes me stubborn? But I would rather they give me suggestions and guide me instead of trying to prove me wrong. I got a very argumentative and angry vibe from this book. With doubts myself of certain things I believe and have been taught my whole life I possibly could have taken Strobel’s words much harsher that he intended, but I’m sure others feel the same as I do. I do not believe none believers would graciously accept Christianity after reading this book. I doubt they would ever finish the book to start with to be perfectly honest. I think they would be confused or pushed farther away from Christianity and any relationship to God. For starters, many non-believers tend to not be atheists. I mean Atheists are so hard to win to Christ because they already have a belief that there is the higher power and are stubborn in that, just like any strong Christian would very unlikely be driven to the thought of no God and this world is just it for humanity. In some ways, Atheism makes more sense they Christianity. But to me Christianity isn’t supposed to totally make sense. That’s why we must have faith. To me, my relationship with God isn’t me trying to prove he is out there or that Jesus really did

    Over that past two millenniums, there has been much criticism and many arguments made about the historical significance of Jesus. In the book “The Jesus Controversy: Perspectives in Conflict” there are many new perspectives incorporated through three different authors eyes who each have their own views on Jesus’ role in history.

    We were assigned to read the book Case for Christ for this class and write a five page paper about it. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about reading as I don’t read books at all even books I might be interested in. This book however got me rethinking a few books. This book makes you think and grabs your attention with a few major points. The book also gets you to think more about Christ and makes you want to connect more with Him.…

    With most of the world still recovering from the Great War few activities phased it. However, “the duel to the death between evolution and Christianity” captured the world’s attention (“The Scopes Trial”). This trial was the very first broadcasted trial on the radio. During this time anyone who had a radio was listening intently. Reporters, over 100, poured into the small town from all over the country in addition to the thousands of spectators there just to observe (“The Scopes Trial”).…

    Glen Jeansonne prefaces his book Messiah of the Masses: Huey P. Long and the Great Depression by stating that he believes Huey P. Long was largely misunderstood. Jeansonne feels that Long is frequently studied out of context and he attempts to provide that context for the reader. He insists that Huey was a man of “great abilities and tragic flaws,” who was neither entirely good nor evil (xi). Except for this introductory passage, Jeansonne provides no other personal opinions of Long, only the facts, leaving the reader to interpret his and formulate their own opinions of the Kingfish. With the context provided, if one could place Long on a spectrum with light being good and dark being evil, it seems that all but his biggest supporters would…

    Mumler's Trial Controversy

    The debate of faith versus fact is one that has been argued many different ways by, many different people throughout the course of history. In recent years, rhetoric has taken a turn to argue for the merging of fact and faith, but for most of history could only take one side or the other. If you took the side of faith you had to dismiss anything that you could, not definitely prove. While on the faith side you had to live with the knowledge that you would never be able to have definitive proof that what you believed was true. While Mumler’s trial did pit fact against faith, for those who argued either side it was not about whether faith or fact was better, it was about securing the authentication for their beliefs.…

    And while trust in human reason and hope for happiness in this world faded during the last centuries of the Roman Empire, a new view of the world began to establish its roots - Christianity. This view had emphasized escape from the world of coercion and a growing connection with higher existence. In response to the decline of Hellenism, Christianity offered a reason worth living to the spiritually disappointed polytheistic followers and the Greco-Roman world: hope in personal immortality. Triumph of Christianity marked a break with classical antiquity and a new stage in the evolution of the West because there was a fundamental difference between the classical and the Christian understanding of God, the individual and the purpose of life.…

    When it comes to my philosophical anthropology I am grounded in a theological perspective. Our textbook states that a theological reflection “provides us with access to a dimension that is essential to understanding who we are, our relationship with God, and how we ought to live” (Entwistle, 2015, p. 155). I believe that God created humans in His image and that science will never be able to explain all the intricacies that make us who we are. On the other hand, God has left us with many different ways to find out who we are and our purpose in life through the Bible, prayer, mediation and praising our creator. I found the discussion on ‘Humans as Finite Creatures’ in our textbook to be very intriguing.…

    Atheists believe there is no God, and that we were created during the Big Bang, “a scientific event millions of years ago that caused the particles in the universe to become ordered. Through evolution, or the ability of creatures to gradually adapt to their surroundings biologically, we have seen the rise of a many different species of animal and plant life.” When someone is Atheist they do not have a religion. Their beliefs are their independency on God and the church. Christians believe in the Bible, and that we are to follow the word of God.…

    In order to uncover unknown information from an ancient civilization, archeologists usually do extensive digging and research in a specified area; however, to uncover truths about Jesus Christ, there was no removal of dirt, as the world 's most sold book was dug into. Although Christianity continues to be the most popular religion, scholars came together in a Seminar, seeking to find the provable truth, which leads to unpopular conclusions. Throughout the article entitled, The Gospel Truth? by David Van Biema, the question of Jesus and the two lenses through which we see him, faith and history, are explored, conclusions are made, and reactions are instant. Instead of believing by faith and tradition, the Jesus Seminar is an attempt to identify…
