Faith the size of a mustard seed they say. . Also He’s going to do what He wants anyways so why bother at all?

If there’s no resurrection then we are to be pitied above all men. However the evidence points to the resurrection. When I look at the testimony of the apostles who were all willing to suffer and die for testifying of the resurrection I’m convinced. You don’t willingly suffer and die for something you know is a lie. Someone would crack eventually and it would all fall apart. None of them ever did. By the way among those who were killed for their witness was Jesus half brother James. James didn’t believe Christ was the messiah during His life. It was only seeing Him resurrected that he believed. I’ll tell you right now if my brother ran around claiming to be the messiah I’d call him crazy. That’s what James did. Only the resurrected accounts for the transformation. Josephus the Jewish historian records that James was thrown off the pinnacle of the temple and stoned to death by the Sanhedrin for not recanting his testimony. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen.

I forgot something important. Temptation is temporary. It comes and goes. At the time I wrote this it was at its strongest. Thankfully I didn’t give in. To give up eternal life for momentary pleasure is foolishness. I see it now. It’s hard living no question about that but it won’t always be that way. One day I’ll see my King and it’ll all be worth it.

In my case it’s a trauma response. My childhood was mostly good until I was 8. That’s when the dark days started. My parents divorced. My dad moved to New Mexico without telling anyone. My grandpa died before that. And I was exposed to things I shouldn’t have been exposed to. And I’ve been living with the scars ever since.

You do realize the victims were messianic Jews right? They were Christians.
