SOME CHRISTIAN  ISSUES

/ God / Jesus Christ / The Bible / Christianity versus Islam / Other issues /

 

Here are listed some more links about spiritual issues, which can be of importance to strength our Christian faith. They will give answers to many questions asked by the Sceptics. From the internet there can be found a lot more for those, who are interested to know more.

But I think, that these can give you a good start for your searching.

 

We must however remember, that many of these questions are very difficult to understand in detail by a limited human mind. Therefore may the answers given not be exact and thoroughly in accordance with the absolute truth. We know only partly or indeed very little of God’s nature and His doings and purposes. He, who has created this universe, is in an invisible, timeless state, which we can not comprehend as beings of “flesh and blood” with only our five senses.

Therefore must the answers and statements in these links be seen with respect to these facts. But they perhaps can broaden our view and comprehension of how big God is and how He cares for us in many ways.

Are "The Jesus Seminar" criticisms of the gospels and Jesus Christ valid?

Who does the Jesus Seminar really speak for?

Also Craig has written about Presuppositions and Pretensions of the Jesus Seminar.

 

The presuppositions in the Jesus Seminar:     

General Assumption #1. If it is only mentioned in one Gospel, it is doubtful that it happened.

General Assumption #2: If it reflects the needs, likely questions, or problems of the early church, it is doubtful that it was said or done by Jesus. Instead, the words and deeds were written back into the Gospel records.

General Assumption #3: If it reflects something that was already being taught in Judaism or some other philosophy at the time, it is doubtful that it was said or done by Jesus.

General Assumption #4: If it has a miraculous element, it didn't happen.

General Assumption #5: The Gospel writers added to or expanded upon Jesus' sayings with their own interpretations or comments, or attributed their own statements and/or stories to the Gospels.

General Assumption #6: Many saying of Jesus are invented for the occasion.

General Assumption #7: Only sayings and actions that fit a specified portrait of Jesus are authentic.

A very interesting story is, what happened, when a fanatic Muslim got the task to find out, that the Bible is a forgery and the Quran is reliable. The story gives many details about the background for Quran and many surprising perceptions, which this Muslim found on his long struggle for the truth..
