Why do I believe that God exists and Christianity to be the only true religion? Why do I not accept the popular idea that one religion or philosophical worldview is just as good as another? These are important questions that deserve rational answers.

Mathematically speaking, the odds of anyone fulfilling this amount of prophecy are staggering. Mathematicians put it this way:

1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 1 person fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 chance in 10 to the 157th power 1 person fulfilling 300+ prophecies: Only Jesus!  It is the magnificent detail of these prophecies that mark the Bible as the inspired Word of God. Only God could foreknow and accomplish all that was written about the Christ. This historical accuracy and reliability sets the Bible apart from any other book or record.

Easter is just around the corner, that time each year when Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus.  It makes for an interesting – and quite incredible – story.  Skeptics down through the ages have attempted to disprove it, directing their fire at the key pieces of the story:  Jesus’ death by crucifixion; His burial in a tomb; and various elements related to the resurrection itself.

The excessive scepticism shown toward the Bible by important historical schools of the eighteenth-and-nineteenth centuries, certain phases of which still appear periodically, has been progressively discredited. Discovery after discovery has established the accuracy of innumerable details, and has brought increased recognition to the value of the Bible as a source of history – W.R. Albright

In order to understand absolute or universal truth, we must begin by defining truth. Truth, according to the dictionary, is “conformity to fact or actuality; a statement proven to be or accepted as true.” Some people would say that there is no true reality, only perceptions and opinions. Others would argue that there must be some absolute reality or truth.

As doctors we are exposed to suffering in a unique way. We grapple with it in our patients each day. Unless we want to insulate ourselves by becoming cynical and detached, we need to learn to cope with it and understand it. Suffering asks deep questions of us as Christians – not least ‘Why does it exist at all?’

My first inclination is to agree with this statement. Before I do, let’s determine what is meant by the word “Church”. If you are saying that inside the church building on any given Sunday there are lots of hypocrites, I would tend to agree with you. The reason I say this is because not everyone who attends church on a weekly basis is a true follower of Jesus. Jesus himself taught this.  He describes the true and false coexisting in the same congregation or at least claiming to be a follower of His.

Among skeptics today, this is one of the most popular objections to Jesus. They say the story of Jesus is merely a copycat myth based on many ancient pagan religious “gods”, like Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Dionysis etc. They even go as far as to say that it is doubtful that Jesus even existed! The idea here is by comparing similarities of these individuals we can draw the conclusion that the one who came after is simply a copycat.

Yes it is intolerant.  In fact, it is very intolerant to say that Jesus is the way the truth and the life and that no one can get to God except through Him as Jesus Himself said in John 14:6.  It is also intolerant to state that there is no other name under heaven other than Jesus by which a person can be forgiven of his sins.  Jesus was even more intolerant of religious hypocrisy when He condemned the religious know-it-alls and called them hypocrites and deceivers.

Critics have tried for at least 2,000 years to discredit the biblical texts.  One of their most common charges is that the Bible is full of contradictions that prove it is neither “divinely inspired” nor “inerrant.”  Rather, it is just another example of fictional literature, produced by primitive people trying to explain the world around them.  Is the Bible really “full of contradictions” as some claim?  Or are there reasonable explanations for these textual difficulties that can maintain the Bible’s credibility and authority?
