Easter generally gets me ruminating . . .

Thinking how when Jesus “showed-up” he revealed the eternal God in time … thats a “story to tell and follow” … story it is - it ain’t no fable …

Peter (and friends who were in the event) see it all this way …

"We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.” II Peter 1:16-18

Fables don’t just “possibly” lead one up the garden path, since that’s where they started, that’s where they’ll end. Christian truth is lineal -revelation, not circular reasoning.

I enjoy reading your site,

Godd point on easter, He is the reason for it. But one thing all thinking is circualr reasoning,

“Everyone reasons the same way. Every philosophy must use its own standards in proving its conclusions; otherwise, its is simply inconsistent. Those who believe that human reason is the ultimate authority (rationalism) must presuppose the authority of reason in their arguments for rationalism. Those who believe in the ultimacy of sense experience must presuppose it in arguing for their philosophy (empiricism). And skeptics must be skeptical of their own skepticism (a fact that is, of course the Achilles’ heel of skepticism). If that is circularity then every body is guilty of circularity.”
