Skeptics appeal to hard evidence…
While Jesus is an historical figure, and his resurrection is supported by eyewitnesses, Jesus openly appealed to a world view beyond what we can see and touch, and described a physical-only view of the universe as a “dead end” perspective.
In discussing what we believe and why, history and archaeology will take us only so far; observations of the universe can point to God, but the evidence can be interpreted many ways.
Beyond that all, though, is an intangible element where God is at work, directly in the hearts and souls of those who are destined to be part of his family.
“Jesus said, “You’re tied down to the mundane; I’m in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I’m living on other terms. I told you that you were missing God in all this. You’re at a dead end. If you won’t believe I am who I say I am, you’re at the dead end of sins. You’re missing God in your lives.”" John 8:23 (MSG)
