Bible Question:
Context ... 1 Peter 3:13-18 (vs 15) ... The context of 1 Peter 3:15 is about slander and doing good and the reason. The answer I give is not based on facts ... for many will discount it. Plus, Hebrews 11:1 is a problem, if I need facts to have faith. Searcher |
Bible Answer: In order to have faith, that faith must have an object, a truth-claim. When I say that I believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I am saying that the resurrection was a historical reality. When the Muslim asserts that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammed is his prophet, he is making the claim that Allah did indeed appoint Muhammed as the "seal of the prophets." Now, which truth-claim reflects reality? Or, to put it the way the skeptic does, what makes Christians so sure that they are right? Muslims have faith, so who are you to say they are wrong? Evidence does not eliminate faith. God did not leave us to blindly guess (or FEEL) what He is really like or if He even exists. --Joe! |
