faith

So, in some sense, the role for EVIDENCE AS A MISSIOLOGICAL RESOURCE in an emerging faith is to carry the good news of God’s kingdom into the postmodern condition and to reach back and help more modern-minded others to ascend “the mountain of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:3) together with us.

Here are 7 things that make it hard for me to believe in traditional Christianity.

On March 4th a documentary will air on the Discovery Channel discussing the 1980 find of the remains of Jesus and family.

1 - How would discovering the bones of Jesus change the belief that Jesus’ body rose to heaven on the third day?

2 - If DNA evidence could be retrieved from Mary, Jesus and Joseph - could it show that Jesus was their son?

3 - Who else is in that tomb with them? Mary Magdelan? Would we find some children? Would we be able to track there DNA to current descendants?

4 - If the science of this proves likely, what might be the impact on Christianity going forward? Would it force a re-thinking of the bible and a reorganization of church teachings?

But hope is a mystery untamed, immortal, and completely without finite form.

without uncertainty it is impossible to please G-d - as faith could not exist without it
