The atheists think that by dismantling the Bible, they can dismantle the faith of Christianity. It’s a tactic that is employed over and over again by the same atheists on this board.
But the Bible didn’t even exist when Christianity was launched. And for those who choose to believe that the Bible is the foundation of Christianity, then their whole faith comes tumbling down like a house of cards…which is what the atheists want…when it’s proven, for example, that the literal account of creation in Genesis is simply not true.
I believe that the faith of Christianity is much stronger than that. I believe that the foundation of the faith of Christianity is the resurrection of Jesus, as did His earliest followers, hundreds of years before the Bible ever came into existence.
Christianity began when Jesus rose from the dead, and His followers recognized that He was who He claimed to be. People followed Jesus after the resurrection because of the resurrection. That’s how Christianity got started. It’s not near as fragile as many think; it doesn’t hang by a thread of some passage in the Old Testament, it’s much more sturdier than that. If it was that fragile, Christianity would have never survived the 1st century.
