Reply #81: The actions of his deciples speak volumes [View All]

[I_Love_Oregon]

After his death.. a humiliating death on a cross. After being asked to prove his "Godliness" by saving himself.. and failing. After all this, and much more, logic dictates that Jesus' followers should have packed it in and gone back to fishing and all else they did prior to running into Jesus. But instead, they devoted their lives.. and in many cases, gave their lives via brutal deaths for him. Why? Why would they act this way if all he said amounted to lies, and his scam was exposed by his humiliating defeat? Unless this band were each insane, logic dictates that their actions would NOT have led them down the road they all would take by pressing his case and building his church. I believe this could only have been if, indeed, he arose and showed himself to his followers, as the Bible says happened. Something MUST have happened to push them into not only action, but complete dedication.
