How God Became Jesus—and How I Came to Faith in Him | Christianity Today

How God Became Jesus—and How I Came to Faith in Him | Christianity Today: "art Ehrman, a professor of religion at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is something of a celebrity skeptic. He's written a number of bestsellers exposing the alleged errors in traditional accounts of early Christianity. His book Misquoting Jesus (2007) asserts that the manuscripts used to compile the New Testament are corrupted and unreliable, deviant from original autographs. His book Forged (2011) claims that many of the New Testament writings were counterfeits written pseudonymously under the names of the apostles."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Existence of Heaven.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Existence of Heaven.: "
"You don't know that heaven exists; per Scripture, you can't know that. You have been told that heaven exists and you believe that you have not been lied to. That is clearly your choice to believe that way, but you can't rationally expect everyone else to believe without evidence. Threatening a non-believer with hell is the equivalent of threatening any rational adult with the boogey-man." Michael Lamb"

Christianity vs. Humanism

Christianity vs. Humanism: "Easter brings Christianity, the heartbeat of American liberty, to center stage. Our Founders were almost unanimous in their Christian beliefs. America's Constitution is centered on the civil laws -- the statutes -- of ancient Israel's Law of Moses, found in the Old Testament. Common principles flow through ancient Israel and America: the right to own private property, the private duty of individuals to help the poor, wise judges, laws to protect the people, fair economic principles that avoid debt, and more."
