There’s Real Evidence for Easter

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 4/19/2025 6:47:25 AM

If you think politicians make outlandish claims, consider what Christians celebrate at Easter. They believe a man named Jesus was brutally tortured, murdered, and buried for three days before rising from the dead. Furthermore, they assert this man was also fully God and that your belief or lack of belief in him determines your eternal destiny. Christians have no video evidence or DNA tests to prove this. That’s understandable since Christians say the event Easter celebrates took place almost 2,000 years ago. Americans can’t even agree on things that happened two weeks ago. Isn’t Easter an ancient example of “fake news,” a myth propagated by people putting faith over historical realities?

Amen. Knowing human nature, I am sure those who were there and wanted Jesus hanged would have left no stone unturned to find who removed his body and to find it to prove he was dead. They are still looking. He is risen!!!

There are many sound apologetics for Jesus' life and resurrection. People deny because they want to, not because it doesn't make sense. Some of God's ways will never be known on Earth. But we have sufficient teaching to "make us wise unto salvation."

I believe in Jesus Christ, but I am not so sure about some of the things man has done in his name since. Arguing religion is a crazy thing to do, but many religions says belief in Christ is the only way to find heaven. If there is a heaven and a God will he send a good person, perhaps a Jew ? into limbo because they do not believe in him? Not a merciful God. Not a true God. Now others can believe what they like I won't argue with them and this is only one thing have doubts about . There are many. God is allegedly infallible, but why would he start a religion, a belief, and then let man screw it up so badly.

The central issue is, is the Bible true? This article presents some very good historical evidence. Can the message of the text itself be tested? The Bible says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Jesus said whoever believes in Him should not perish. He said whoever asks, receives. John said that whatever we ask according to God's will we will receive. The Bible says it is God's will that we believe that He raised Jesus from the dead and that if we confess Jesus as LORD with out mouths we will be saved. I am 100% convinced that if anyone asks God to show him that He raised Jesus Christ from the dead that it is His will to demonstrate this to our satisfaction. We are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. By the way, faith is not something that you believe just because someone says so -- it is PERSUASION based on experience. I made this request 49 years ago. One morning I got up not believing that God raised Jesus from the dead, but before I went to bed that night I was persuaded of the truth of this so much that by the grace of God I will give my life for it. God is infallible and His Word is true. As the Bible says, "Taste and see..." PS I have many questions, but I am persuaded God can answer them all.

Actually, #6, faith has NOTHING to do with experience--in fact, experience will mislead you. Heb. 11:1 perfectly defines faith: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” If you need proof, check out the thief on the cross. He met Jesus and believed Jesus was Who He said He was.

I forgot to say: #4, the problem with your argument (and everyone else who argues that anyone is "good enough" to be accepted into heaven) is that humans have two problems: 1) our behavior misses the mark, and that includes all of our so-called good works, which are used toilet paper in God's eyes, and 2) our spirits are dead to God, enemies of God, and alienated or separated from God. The two-fold finished work of Christ on the cross and via the resurrection takes care of both of these issues for those who say YES to Jesus: His death on the cross deals with our behavior by taking away our sins (we are forgiven); and the resurrection takes care of our identity--we were crucified with Christ, buried with Him, and raised with Him as new creations in Christ. Born again believers are saints who are holy, righteous, and acceptable to God.

They breed sociopaths there, and brutalize their children until they think of us, you and me, as talking cows or pigs.

In the aftermath, researchers observed a disturbing surge of viral memes glorifying Mangione, which effectively turned him into a folk hero among certain corners of the internet.

What if I told you that when federal district judges issue injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s policies in a judicial insurrection, they were the ones breaking the law? No, it’s not just because these judges are effectively usurping the authority of the president over the executive branch. It’s more clear-cut than that. When Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., issued an order demanding the Trump administration return reputed members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to the U.S., he wasn’t just making immigration policy—he was violating a black-and-white rule laid down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

One of the things that frightens parents—and leads them to avoid vaccines that have protected against potentially deadly or life-changing diseases such as measles or polio—is the alleged connection between autism and some of the vaccinations. Parents know that autism diagnoses have skyrocketed over the past few years, and, given how today’s little children are vaccine pincushions, they’re rightly worried. However, I’d like to suggest some alternative reasons for the increased number of diagnoses. My ideas are not based on studies or a medical degree (I don’t have one) but on a little bit of common sense.

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day. The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.

Anyone with common sense can tell when there’s a setup for a big problem, and the Supreme Court keeps setting things up.

In The Anxious Generation, we focused on the emergence of the adolescent mental health crisis that began in the early 2010s. However, since the book’s publication one year ago, we have learned even more about worrisome trends in education that closely mirror those in mental health: after decades of stability or gradual improvement, test scores in the U.S. and around the world began declining notably in the 2010s. (Snip) One plausible explanation is the arrival of the phone-based childhood. However, there is a related hypothesis that is more proximal to the educational decline: the sudden appearance of a laptop or tablet on every student’s desk.
