Hi Blogger,
If you wanted to make up a religion, would you portray it's first leaders as "petty, jealous, almost impossibly slow witted" people that eventually proved to be cowards who deserted their leader?
For me it's these kinds of questions that debunk many of the arguments that says Christianity is made up legends or stories. Think about the most central event of Christianity - the crucifixion of Christ. He was crucified by the Roman authorities after his own people, the Jews accused him. He was betrayed by a disciple in his own inner circle and then deserted by the rest. There was no group that could claim that he innocently died for them as a 'martyr'... because all of them killed Him! Would you make this stuff up?
The only reason it is in the Bible is because that is the way it happened. Not a made up legend, but an incredibly complex and yet super simple account of history that basically says:
"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Cor 5:21
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to see just how real the Bible is... and help me to realise through that how real you are. In Jesus' Name. Amen
