Christians,
Help me out here.
How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?
In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he...
If I could venture an answer…
Don’t trust, verify.
Faith is the Greek word pistis from the root pisteo, meaning to be persuaded by evidence. It is passive, it happens to us and cannot be drummed up. My advice is to let the evidence do its work.
Every time I work from first principles I end up at this person of Jesus of Nazareth being by far the best explanation for what the bloody hell we are doing here! The arguments from cosmology, teleology , biology, morality and history are overwhelmingly persuasive to me.
Put all options on a level playing field and it is very apparent that there is no second best (see what I did there ;))
Then watch The Chosen series.
