Thesis Info

[Belverit]

Hi, I am new to this forums and well I am conducting an intense research on my own faith and the roots of it. I want to know more about the origins and points of view about our light´s hope.

Anyways, let's...well...post my own doubts first, so I can give you all an idea of what I need to find...and wha's my research about.

1. What is the origin of faith?
   
2. The origin of the first known contact with god?
3. Christ's death and re-birth?
4. The true objective of christianity?

These are my drivers, and the answers behind these questions are what I pursue...so any help, any info would be nice.

Are you a new believer? What source material do you plan to use for your research?

4. The true objective of christianity?

These are my drivers, and the answers behind these questions are what I pursue...so any help, any info would be nice.

1. The Christian faith or faith in general?
2. The God of the Bible or just god's in general?
3. What exactly about Christ's death and resurrection?
4. The true objective of Xnty is to worship God which manifests itself in many ways.

Overall, you have very broad questions that each could be covered in several different theses. I would highly suggest narrowing down your objective of you thesis so as to actually be able to write a thesis. As it stands, you are covering far too broad an area of possible research and will never be able to make any sort of conclusive statements that could be reached in any less than a few thousand pages of writing.

Faith is trust in God. It originates, like all contact with God, from God. God first revealed himself to Adam and Eve, when he visited them each day in the garden. That relation was broken through sin, but God still maintained some kind of contact with the rest of the patriarchs down through to Abraham. At this point, however, God changed is mode of conduct with humanity to establish a chosen people on earth to be in covenant with him, to lead to the coming of the Messiah. When the Messiah came, he died and rose from the dead (not rebirth, resurrection) in order to restore the broken relationship. Christianity is this restoration of relationship, albeit through a dim lense at the moment, but we await the full restoration after the general resurrection of the dead, when God will dwell fully with men.

I am so very sorry I was in a hurry when I wrote this up. Mostly, the fact that I wish to cover is Christ's death and resurrection. It something that amazes me deeply. After dying, Jesus was raised from the dead and once more walked among the living. This, of course, would only be possible if he were a zombie; Zombie Jesus is the identity of Jesus following the Resurrection. It is a long road I've walked to come to this...and I can't shake the fact that it's the Truth. I do not inted to start a flame war or whatever, but this is a FACT, a proven FACT moreover...and well. It's amazing enough to even shake my beliefs.

If your faith was in anything other than a resurrected Christ, then it needs to be shaken, are you a new believer that simply does not understand or know the scriptures, or are you flying under a false flag?

 

[Albion]

I have never ever before heard the thesis that says Jesus was a zombie, let alone such a confident assertion that it is a "proven FACT," despite the Bible's account of the nature and doings of Jesus after the resurrection which absolutely rules out this theory.

Are you, therefore, dismissing the New Testament out of hand in order to come to your conclusion, and if so, how does this make you a believer?
