Just me trying to be honest with God.

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,...

...when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”

“…a partaker of the glory that will be revealed.” 1Pt.5.1

Peter is telling us that he witnessed a dead man rise from the grave. He saw the resurrected Christ not just a resuscitated man barely back from the dead. Peter was one among many who saw Jesus not only alive but alive and well. I for one cannot simply dismiss the eyewitness testimony of credible men and women who claim to have witnessed someone conquer death. These people do not write as religious fanatics or as co-conspirators of a cruel hoax. I have good reason to believe them as I would believe any person of creditable reputation. It is more than blind faith that shapes the worldview of the Christian. 9/25/2009 Conversations Within ts
