Logic For Unbelievers To Consider

Contributed by Dennis King on Aug 28, 2018

When you come to a mind closed to God, Jesus, and all Biblical Truth, maybe logic can be used to begin a discussion?

God's Grace is freely offered to all., but what if there were no Bibles, no written words showing the way to eternal salvation?

Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023

For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more
