Having Convictions Can Be Defined As Being

I Once Had A Lot Of Hatred, Mainly Toward My Father, An Alcoholic.

Paul The Apostle Recounted That Jesus Appeared To More Than 500 Of His Followers At One Time, The Majority Of Whom Were Still Alive And Who Could Confirm What Paul Wrote.

Most Christians Are Not Convinced Of Their Own Faith. I Would Say 90 Percent Of Christians Do Not Have A Worldview, In Other Words A View Of The World, Based On The Scripture And A Relationship With God. And So They Cannot Discern Between The Truth And Falsehood.

This Is An Important Distinction, Because Most Of The Modern Philosophies That Deny That We Can Know Reality, And Ultimately Truth, Make The Mistake Of Constructing Epistemological Systems To Explain How We Know Reality Without First Acknowledging The Fact That We Do Know Reality. After They Begin Within The Mind And Find They Can't Construct A Bridge To Reality, They Then Declare That We Can't Know Reality. It Is Like Drawing A Faulty Road Map Before Looking At The Roads, Then Declaring That We Can't Know How To Get From Chicago To New York!

As A Reward For Their Efforts, However, Those Early Christians Were Beaten, Stoned To Death, Thrown To The Lions, Tortured And Crucified. Every Conceivable Method Was Used To Stop Them From Talking.
