Life Choices

My friend, Lonnie Davis, told me about a helpful website on Jesus (www.y-jesus.com).  Visit this website when you watch some television program about “lost gospels” or theories about “the real Jesus” and so on.  A lot of this kind of speculation is out there and many people accept it as fact, but there are actually very strong arguments against this type of speculation.

I found the link to information about gnostic writings a good summary of the issue and arguments.  The material is readable.  Link to this website so you can have this information available.

Lonnie enjoyed this note about Chuck Colson:

Former “hatchet man” of the Nixon administration, Chuck Colson, implicated in the Watergate scandal, pointed out the difficulty of several people maintaining a lie for an extended period of time.

I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, and then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world—and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.
