Jesus Christ trial, accuser and false witnesses, wanting Him to die by crucifixion. Someone who was guilty, let go, and Jesus taking his place. Jesus`s sufferings, crucifixion, death and burial.

I’m not a Christian because my parents, when I was a child, may have carried me into a church where I was baptized. I’m not a Christian because now on occasion I will attend a religious service in some church that is supposedly, nominally, and maybe truly Christian. No, I’m a Christian because I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.” Do you agree with Grounds’ statement: “I’m a Christian because I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior”? Explain your response.

Yes, because this is how you become a Christain.

It abolished the unthinkable powers of gladiatorial conflicts in the Roman arena. It elevated the position of women. It eliminated the abandonment of children, born and then left to die because they were unwanted. It spearheaded the establishment of hospitals and of schools and of orphanages.” Why did the Christian faith tend to transform the culture where it resided?

Because of the impact of Christain faith in the body of believers helps brings about change in a society.

These apostles were willing to die as martyrs, not because they made up a story, but because they had met the risen Christ, and they were convinced of His triumph over death. And that fact transformed them.” Do you agree with Vernon Grounds’ assertion? Explain the reasons for your response.

I agree, those that were martyred were killed because of the truth. What they witnessed, what they believed, what they preached and what they testified.

Then anything which competes against Christianity is false. If the resurrection didn’t happen, then Christianity is false, and anything competing against Christianity as a truth claim may well be true.” Do you agree? Explain your answer.

I agree because what was spoken by Christ is what was done.
