Eric,
I have looked at the blog site. I think it is very cooooool!! I was wanting to know if you could add some christian music to the site.I have one question though, how do we post comments? I thought that some of the article related to me in some way. We have some history classes at my school and they are talking about all of these different kinds of gods, how do I know that Jesus is just not a myth like them? I tried talking to my dad about it and did not get what he was saying. I know its in the bible , and I know you have got to have faith, is their a simpler way for me to understand?
Your Friend,

Thanks for the questions. I am glad you are thinking. You will be a more confident believer by asking questions and seeking answers. I am glad you like the site. It is designed for you students to have a place to see yourself and the group. I haven't figured out how to put music on the sight yet, but I will. There is a comment button at the bottom of every post. You may have to sign in. That is not a big deal though. Just hit the comment button, write your comment and then hit publish comment. I hope that helps. I left your name off but I did put your question up, because it is a good one.
So let's get to the question. There are alot of reasons to trust the truth of Jesus above other claims. I will try to keep it simple. First true Christianity is different than any other religious claims. Religion is ultimately what I am doing to try to be right with God. Christianity is what God has done for me to be right with Him. The only thing I do is recognize that I need Him. That is a major difference. Secondly, the Bible -the Word of God can be trusted. It is an incredibly unique book in every way. It was written over 1500 years by many human authors yet it has a consistent message.It has been found to be accurate in everything it teaches (historically, archaeologically, scientifically, morally, etc.). All of that to say that the Bible can be trusted, it is not a book of myths or lies, but of accuracy and miraculously fulfilled prophecy. No other book could stand up under the scrutiny and attacks that the Word of God has undergone. Last but certainly not least the Bible from front to back ultimately points to a person, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is unique in every way. As pastor Chris said He was the only 1 out of the estimated 106,000,000,000 people that have lived to live the perfect life he did. Jesus' teaching is unique also. He was the message. In other words He didn't teach good religious things that you need to know, He taught that you need to know Him. He is the message. He also claimed to be God. Not a God, but the very God that was the power and purpose behind the universe. He did many miracles (called signs) that verified who He was, but the most convincing fact of His authenticity is that He said after being put to death that He would rise again from the dead. What is so incredibly convincing is that He did exactly what He said He was going to do. The resurrection of Jesus is an established fact of history that has been celebrated and changing lives for 2000 years.
These are some of the "evidences" or proofs of why we trust Jesus. Ultimately it is something that is supernatural though. What I mean is that God himself must persuade you of these truths. That is what it means to have faith. God has persuaded you of the truth of who He is and how to know Him. Millions of people throughout history have been eternally changed by the person of the gospel message- the Lord Jesus Christ!
I hope that helps some. Let me know if you still have questions I can help with!
I love you!
God Bless,
Eric
