Jesus Christ's death on the cross(for the sins of the world),resurrection on the third day and ascension is a proof of life after death.
Yes, it is, if reading and digesting a directed accounting of an event in the past is proof.
Did you know that people in older times placed a bell in the coffin with someone who died? Do you know why modern undertakers embalm the dead?
It was found that sometimes people can be declared dead and buried but they are still alive. They awake sealed in a tomb (casket) and unless someone frees them from that tomb, they truly do die, in horror.
this light can only be accessed through faith that comes through understanding of the bible by a sincere seeker .
I understand the concept.
I also understand how sincerity of belief can cloud reason.
Faith is sincerity of belief. I can have faith that where I live there will not be a hurricane. I can sincerely believe I am safe from the storm. If a storm hits my home, I can justify my belief using any rationalizing reasons as long as I continue my faith.
My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the central figure of the bible.
Certainly, but the message is as series of rules and regulations defining rewards and penalties for non-compliance. The justification contradicts the message within its passages.
The reader is left with conflict and apprehension unless they choose to blindly accept conscription to its intent.
The gospels of Mathew,Mark,Luke and John , bore historical account of this great Person
They Do.
There are a multitude of written accountings of many great persons in history. All of which are subject to the reader's specification of what makes them great.
The gospel of John talks about his divinity.
So it does.
There is also a gospel of Hitler, a gospel of Martin Luther King, a gospel of Donald Trump, and a lot of divine people of history.
They are slanted to promote a message. Gospels are written to promote the sanctity of an individual in such a way as to make them more than the reality. They depend on the gullibility of the reader to contribute to the legend.
Further Jewish historians like Josephus testified about him.
Okay
At one time, tobacco representatives testified that cigarettes were safe. Liars testify all the time. I'm not saying Joe was a liar, I just suggest that he may have been beguiled by the legend.
Anytime there is a written accounting of specific events and beliefs there is also a "Behind the Scenes" accounting that is not presented to the record.
Faith requires that the accounting is believed to be accurate and complete.
Faith ignores conflicts in the accounting and never questions it.
If one reads the accounting without the prescribed faith, they see those conflicts and question the source's validity.
A tremendous amount of delusion is required for one that sees the conflict to acquire the faith needed to propagate the myth.
When the myth is challenged by reason. The faithful will argue using the words of the accounting as proof instead of presenting a sound example.
This creates a conflict in the persuasion method that resounds with the non-believer as gibberish. Which further exemplifies non-belief.
"This book tells everyone how to live, think and feel."
"Oh, it does eh?"
"Yes, if you turn to page ... and read passage ... it tells you how you should believe."
"So it does, but that really doesn't apply to me and my life, thoughts and feelings."
"Well, you are wrong. If you turn to page ... and read passage ... it tells you what you must do so it will apply."
"I don't want to."
"Well, on page ... passage ... it tells you that you will have to pay the consequences for non-compliance."
"This is just a bunch of gibberish, I'm done with this nonsense."
