Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is 1 Peter 3-5 & 2 Peter 1
One of the great accusations against Christianity is that it is nothing more than made up fables. Yet in 2 Peter 1, Peter here reminds the follower of Christ that they did not follow carefully crafted fables/stories but witnessed these things themselves. The question I have is why would Peter have to say they weren't following fables if all they were doing was spreading Jesus moral teachings as some claim? Peter knew that the claims of Jesus were miraculous, but that they were true and for everyone.
Side note: Every one of the witnesses/apostles suffered greatly and all but one died by martyrdom. This is a testimony that they all believed it was true when all it would take was an admission that they lied to save them.
