The Body Was Stolen (Part 1)
One of the most common objections I’ve come across when dealing with people’s thought on the resurrection is that the disciples stole Jesus’ body from the tomb and moved it somewhere else. It makes sense right? No body, Jesus must have risen. Sounds like a total miracle, great story to start a new religion on.
False. There are many holes in this theory. Where to start?

Procrastination
Sooooo….over a week ago I was supposed to start writing a blog series on the Evidence for the Resurrection. In typical end-of-the-semester fashion, my intentions got put on the shelf. I promise I’ll start the series up this weekend once I’m done writing up my final essays for the semester.

Really love the sticky notes idea. Wish we could tile Stockton College with questions people have about Christianity.
Idolatry: 2012 Style
“You shall have no gods besides me”-Exodus 20:3
As a Christian in the 21st century, I think we often overlook this commandment. We figure we believe in God, we know Jesus died for our sins, and we’re not walking around worshiping carved out statues of pagan gods so we’re good right?
