A you tube video on Pastor Daniel channel showed an Atheist debating with Dr. Frank Turek about the truth of Christianity.
Her point was that although the Apostles were martyred for their faith, that was no different to many who have died for their faith in other religions. This is where she misses the difference.
The Apostles were with Jesus for three years and witnessed all that happened. So they knew beyond any doubt the truth of it. Therefore when they were martyred it was from a knowing position rather than from blind faith alone.
No body dies for a known lie.
Even the Sanhedrin who condemned Jesus never disputed the miracles he performed, nor did they dispute that the tomb was empty.
Another point rested on that she would not like there to be an afterlife and preferred death to be the end, she claimed she would feel uncomfortable if she was in heaven and her friend was in hell because of the life they led.
Again she has a view with no evidence to support it, she cannot know God’s pure justice nor can she imagine how good a place heaven is or compare it to how bad hell is.
We need to look at some answers that Mary the mother of Jesus has given when appearing to us at Fatima 1917 and Medjugorje 1990’s . At Fatima she said. If man knew what eternity was like they would do everything to change his life.
At Medjugorje she said in response to the question. Why does a loving God send souls to hell? Answer God never sends anyone to hell, those who go to hell want to be there.
