One Christian Thought

Perhaps you've heard of "other gospels," other books about Jesus' life that didn't make it into the Bible. Two Gnostic accounts from the second-century are attributed to Peter: one which is called the Gospel of Peter and focuses on the last days of Jesus, and the other is called the Coptic Apocalypse of Peter, which was written to call the early church foolish. Why would these writings be attributed to Peter? Simple: Peter was one of Jesus' closest friends, and a leader of the Disciples. If information came from Peter, it must be accurate. But as Bart Ehrman, famous agnostic New Testament scholar says, the Gospels from the Bible are significantly better sources then any others: "The oldest and best sources we have for knowing about the life of Jesus... are the four Gospels of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This is not simply the view of Christian historians who have a high opinion of the New Testament and its historical worth; it is t

These are a blog and a website I made for class one year in high school, along with another personal blog with only four posts. They contain some arguments and information that one might find helpful and convincing, one blog project on evolution and another on the resurrection. The website has links to the blog because it summarizes a couple "blog projects," which you'll see if you would like to check it out. However, fairly soon I will stop receiving emails for comments made on the blog, and so don't bother putting a question there: comment on this post! Appropriately, I consider practically all of it amateurish compared to this blog. If you want to learn about evidence for the resurrection, I refer you to where you are now. A word of warning: these online resources were often not revised before publishing. Every once in a while you might discover a typo or something like that. If it bothers you, just tell me in the comments below. Thanks! https://amateurishhighsc

Greetings and welcome to my blog! I am a Christian , specifically a Protestant. I have believed in Jesus for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until my early teenage years, though, that I really begin to ask questions about my faith. And now, after years of study, I own 67 books on multiple subjects, such as belief in Jesus by reasoning from historical argument, understanding (and answering) other religions, and explaining apparent tension between verses in the Bible. I am not an official person of any kind. I have received no formal theological training, attended seminary, or even graduated a college. But what I do have is 215 Bible verses memorized and expert credible resources (I only use books by authors who have attended school to know what they are talking about). As a Christian, I believe that I should "...be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks [me] to give the reason for the hope that [I] have. But [I should] do so with gentleness and respect."

Here is a pdf that has a three-page argument for the resurrection of Jesus that is condensed and can be used as a resource to share with others. Handout Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus and the Gospel
