as pastor john piper finishes up his
travels through the Middle East during
the month of November were going back
and listening to a few ask Pastor John
recordings from years past and a few
years back he was asked this question
what are some ways we can know
Christianity is true here's what Pastor
John had to say you can come at the
truth of Christianity through several
angles of apologetics or of reasoning
let me mention a few and tell you the
one that that is most extension real for
me one would be historical I think
arguments can be mounted that are solid
and compelling first for the existence
of Jesus and then for the death of Jesus
and for the resurrection of Jesus to
give an account for why the Apostles
were the way they were after his death
so that the arguments that pondan Berg
has developed or evangelicals have
developed for the resurrection of the
dead who moved the stone type tike
arguments as something of a book are
strong and have helped many people get
over the barrier because if Jesus has
been raised from the dead never to die
again and ascend into heaven then we
should take very seriously and credit
when he said about himself so that's
that's one line of evidence a second
line of evidence would be what what
would be called presuppositional that
without God as an assumption without the
Bible as an assumption all of our
reasoning processes or all of our
perceiving processes are not possible in
other words every time we start thinking
and every time we start perceiving
something is happening in our heads
which soon something and if you're going
to have any kind of credible
conversation about what you're thinking
or about what you're
then you are assuming certain laws of
logic certain laws of causality certain
laws of existence which can't have any
bearing of absolute significance unless
they're rooted in in God so everybody's
talking nonsense but hardly anybody will
say we're all just animals talking
nonsense even those who are total
secular naturalistic evolutionists don't
like to be treated like animals when a
dog barks I don't assume he's writing
poetry but when a man puts poetry down I
assume he wants me to take him seriously
as a human being who has serious meaning
there and he's not he doesn't like
because they always but just treat
chicken scratch so he's assuming
something unbelievably profound about
the significance and the basis of what
he's doing which he can't unless there's
this Christian construction of God so
that's that's the presuppositional angle
here's the third one and the last one
that is most significant to me how do
you when you want to decide if a
testimony a witness that somebody has is
true you weren't there there were no
videos there was no recording and you
have to decide whether what he's saying
happened happened so that's when I when
I read this book that's the way I feel
I'm reading Paul say 13 letters of the
Apostle Paul and he's telling me he saw
the Lord Jesus he's telling me that he
was knocked off his donkey on the
Damascus Road saw the Lord Jesus was
commissioned by the Lord Jesus and now
is inspired by the Lord Jesus and then
he interprets all of that in terms of
the gospel not I've got rekked with Paul
are you a a lunatic are you a liar or
are you telling the truth that's usually
used with Jesus you know you lunatic
liar or Lord I think it's a good
argument and I use it for the writers of
the New Testament not just for Jesus
because that's
I know that I've got Paul right here in
my head I've got Paul right here in my
and I wanna know are you crazy
so when I'm reading the Bible whether
it's the Gospel of John or whether it's
Romans I'm asking the question how can i
credit what's here both the testimony of
the man and the portrait of Jesus and I
think there is a light that stands forth
from the text of the truthfulness of
Jesus that is self authenticating and
there is a kind of character for the
writers that stands forth that is
authenticating of their solidity there
their truthfulness not that they're not
lunatics and they're not liars and I I
would find it if somebody said to me
today okay just give me in 30 seconds
why you're a Christian I would say the
one the portrait that I see of Jesus
Christ in the Gospels is self up
indicating to me I cannot meet this man
and have him speak like no money nobody
else spoke and not believe him he wins
my trust and then if they say yeah but
but how do you know that that person is
not being created by somebody else and I
would say well then the person that's
creating him is just as phenomenal and
they win my trust and if they win my
trust then they're not lying to me the
Apostle Paul is not a lunatic
I cannot read the thirteen letters of
the Apostle Paul and think he's crazy or
think he's a liar so those two things
the self up indicating portrait of Jesus
Christ that I find in Scripture and the
character endorsing way that the
Apostles write their books and reveal
their own trustworthiness that was
