Interview Q/A

4. Isn’t it madness to believe that the body and blood of a man could also be a piece of bread and a bit of wine? Yes, unless that man, born of woman, is also the Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds. Jesus is the only such person.

5. This is far fetched! All religions make such claims of their founders. You are wrong in two ways. First, no other religion claims either that its founder is the authentic, single God, nor that this God, as man, as common food, is to be eaten, while Christianity alone claims both. Second, no other religion’s claims are as falsifiable as these two claims of Christ.

6. How are these claims falsifiable? Simply find the dead body of Jesus, and he is therefore neither God nor present in the Christian ritual of bread and wine. But you cannot do this.

7. And why not? Because he is risen from the dead. All great men of the ancient world sought his body. Those who succeeded, like Saul of Tarsus, were thereby converted to Christianity, as they found him alive, bearing wounds from his crucifixion, just as he foretold.

8. How do you know this? From the writings of the witnesses**,** whether those of skeptics like St. Paul, who wrote letters detailing his conversion, or disciples like Matthew and John, who left eye-wtiness accounts of these events. This collection of writings is “the New Testament.” It is the clearest portion the book commonly called “The Bible.”
