Does Your Religious Faith Require Data to Support It?

Muffled

Jesus in me
Usually be digging past the headlines.
Often the “contradiction” is more fiction than real.


At the end of the day I’ll trust God over men. Men tend to lie and make a lot of mistakes. God is beyond all that.

I believe I find it amusing that some think data is better than experience. If millions of people haven't had my experience that can't invalidate my experience.

Jesus in me
Christianity is based on the truth of Biblical events, so without at least the possibility of the truth of those events, that data, there is no Christian faith.
We Christians don't know if events happened, we believe they did and put our faith in God and Jesus because of that.
Early Christians who knew the events of Jesus life, death and resurrection happened put their faith in God and Jesus because of that.
Neil Tyson was vague enough to not know whom or what he was talking about and that makes it hard to judge what he said.

I believe we go further than just reading. We put into practice and the results testify of the validity of the word.
