It's All True
Christianity distinguishes itself from other belief systems through its foundation in historical evidence and firsthand eyewitness testimony. The apostles, directly commissioned by Christ, witnessed His resurrection in the flesh and provided consistent, unwavering accounts of these events. Their testimony carries significant weight because they maintained their claims despite facing persecution and death, while gaining no worldly benefit. The concept of faith in Christianity isn't about believing without evidence. Instead, it's a God-given ability to perceive truth and commit fully to it. The resurrection of Jesus stands as the cornerstone of Christian faith, and its historical validity is crucial. Without the resurrection, the entire foundation of Christianity would crumble. The story of Thomas demonstrates that seeking evidence isn't contrary to faith - rather, God provides sufficient evidence for belief through historical events and reliable testimony.
