I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 2:20 NASB
Below are posts of what I call “Logical Proofs”, that, for me, support the Biblical explanation of Creation, the existence of a Living God, and the reality of the Christ spoken of in the Bible from a logical rather than Scientific perspective.
One of the greatest logical explanations of why Christ had to be who he says he was is the story of Saul, who we know as the Apostle Paul.
It’s important to understand that Christ‘s existence and many of the stories told throughout the New Testament, including his Crucifixion, have been documented by historians and writers of that time. So our question is not whether Christ existed, but whether the stories of the Bible and Christ’s claim of being the Son of God are true, or, the greatest hoax of all time. Let’s explore…
This is a personal thought that came to me years ago after my Dad and I went to visit my first cousin, shortly after receiving his first star as a General in the United States Marine Corps. He was being recognized and promoted to the position of Commanding Officer at Paris Island, which is the Boot Camp for all incoming Marine Recruits east of the Mississippi River.
I made the mistake of asking Jerry the question of how many Soldiers there were on the base? His answer was harsh, but merited, “ZERO, there’s _x__ Marines and 1500 Want-a-Be’s”! He made it very clear that those 1500 recruits in that current 13-week training period were not Marines until they proved they had the physical and mental capability to complete Boot Camp!
I will be adding other “Logical Proofs” over the next few weeks and months, but thought I’d share a letter I felt led to write just after most of my neighbors were forced to stay home during the COVID-19 crisis in the Spring of this year (2020). I’m not sure why I felt led to share about the subject, but I hope that it was meant for someone that might benefit from my somewhat unique philosophy relating to the injustices that we sometimes face in this life.
I’m by no means a biblical scholar, but rather a business owner completing our 40th year in business, and much like the “Logical Proofs” I will be sharing on this website, this letter came from my personal experience and a more common sense approach. It makes sense to me, but if someone takes a different Biblical view, it doesn’t offend me nor alter my faith in Jesus Christ. I can in no way say with certainty that my view on this subject is absolutely correct, but I do believe that logic lends to it being at least a partial truth.
I hope as time allows in the future, to better explain my belief and how I came to this understanding, at least in my heart and mind. I truly hope it encourages someone and gives clarity if you’ve struggled with this in your own life. RH
