    Contributed by David Henderson on Apr 28, 2014
     | 7,061 views

    What is the difference in Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity? Simple. Of the four major religions today only one claims an empty tomb. The resurrection is the miracle that makes a difference between a religion that is dead and one that is alive.

It seems to me most people here this morning are probably not interested in the evidence of the ...read more
