Good to hear from you, Raj!

I repeat, because there is good historical evidence. I'll keep my response brief, because this is not a Christian apologetics channel - there are plenty of them if you're interested in knowing why we believe what we believe. But the New Testament scholar and historian N T Wright went into great detail in his book 'The Resurrection of the Son of God' on the historicity of the Resurrection. Other scholars have done so on the reliability of the Gospels - for example Craig Blomberg's book 'The Historical Reliability of the Gospels', or, say, the standard commentaries on Luke's Gospels by people such as Joel Green, Darrell Bock, John Nolland, I Howard Marshall, etc. Beyond that, you might find a podcast such as sidebstories.com interesting for the accounts of people who left atheism behind because they no longer found it convincing.

@@revddf I have read Wright's book and, like every other Christian apologists, he is a fraud. Because he offers no genuine evidence at all. The crux of the matter is how evidence is defined. If you are prepared to take as evidence someone's word, either in person or in text, that a string of impossible things happened, then the bible and the handful of brief extra-biblical mentions of Jesus might satisfy you. Especially if all your seeking is confirmation of your pre-existing beliefs. However, there is absolutely no verifiable, incontrovertable evidence for the existence of God, or of a divine Jesus or for any of the major themes of the Old or New Testaments. Nothing. If you know different, please take a moment to highlight a few in a response. As for atheists who become Christians, their tales are unimportant. Any more than you are moved by people who leave Christianity. Anecdotes of personal experience cannot be verified and are thus invalid as evidence. I look forward to learning of your good historical evidence.

I disagree with you. I think there is good historical evidence for the Resurrection and the general historical reliability of the Gospels.

Hi John, the moment I saw your first comment I had a horrible thought: did I attach the microphone? So sorry. I'll put a link in the description to the blog post so that you can at least read what I preached!

That’s bizarre; there was definitely audio when I recorded it. I’ll look into this. Sorry.

That’s great to hear John, our love to you both. Do let us have your news from time to time.

Thank you!

Thank you, Rodney.

Thank you, Angela.

Thank you Angela, a very Happy Christmas to you.

Thank you Raj. The same wishes to you and your family, too.

You're very welcome

Hi Graham, Good to hear from you! How are you? And thank you for the kind words.

@@revddf Yes we are all ok. All learning how to use digital stuff in new ways. We have weekly zoom service, and some have returned to church. We are still at home as M still has to work from home for foreseeable future until things are safer. Our garden and all wildlife in it and flowers has been absolute blessing in lockdown. Met up with our local family on Friday at St Mary's Bay, with fish nd chip supper and most amazing purple, red, gold and orange sunset. It was as if The LORD was saying behold my glory..1st time we'd been out since March. Blessings to you all.

Don't worry, Kathy!

Hi Kathy, good to hear from you and so glad God spoke to you through this. We're all well, thanks - but if you don't mind me saying, it's me, Debbie, one girl, and one boy! :)

Thank you Angela, that’s encouraging to hear.
