Resuming blogging...

As I move forward through my unplanned weekend:

That last post about Christianity prompted me to go view the Gospel of John video.  I really like to watch that video, I tell you.  The many times that I've watched it, I am beginning to see something familiar about it all.  It looks a lot like our "modern" day arguments.

How?

Jesus says he is the Son of God, and demonstrated it over and over again.  But the people who saw these things did not deny that He did them, but doubted that He was who He said He was.  The illogicalness and inconsistency of this thinking did not occur to them.  But the Gospel is consistent throughout.  So, why do modern day people reject it?  For the same reasons they rejected Jesus back then.  They could not believe that this man was God in the flesh, despite the fact that He did things only God could do.  If those who actually saw Jesus do these miracles, then how can modern day people believe something that is related in a book?  For them, it is mere superstition, and they dismiss it out of hand.

They'll also reject the works of man himself if it does not conform with what they want to believe.  Just look at what John Powell achieved with his propeller that worked at 100k feet altitude.  There are those who don't believe it even though the evidence of this achievement is right before their very eyes.  Then , there are those who don't believe that men walked on the moon, even though millions saw the men get on the rocket ship, saw the rocket launch, and the capsule return to the Earth after having walked on the moon in view of millions on television.

What can you conclude from all this?  Nobody is immune from error or some kind.  But there are those who deny this.  These kind of people are dangerous, because it arises from arrogance, not a humble spirit.  An arrogant man is a dangerous man.
