Victimology and Christ

Last night at work a man and wife came in of course we were talking, the conversation turned to victims and the society we live in.

He said the true victims were those that didn't know Christ.

Of course I took a harder line as usual.

Creation cries out about our Creator, the Bible, the Law, history all speak to God.

Victims are those who are terrorized, robbed, shot etc. 

NOT those who through their own choices end up where they are.

Abraham told the rich man in Hell that Moses and the Law spoke to them.

A true victim is not one who sees and knows but ignores or rejects that salvation freely offered to them.

The history and witness of Christ is evident through out the world. 

The facts point to Him, the evidence decries those that fail to believe.

Christ is revered and taught by ALL. 

No other figure in History has so influenced so many facets of culture

False religions acknowledge Him, and His place in history. Though they deny His deity, and His virgin birth, and try to marginalize Him.

I have posted a link below that gives secular historian accounts of Christ. One speaks of the sun going dark during a full moon, just as the bible says on Christ's day of crucifixion.

What is truly intriguing is that we have accounts (yes plural) of Christ, His actions, and His life yet today some claim He didn't exist or do what is said of Him and they use modern thinking to justify their thoughts. 

As if we can just dismiss history because we don't want to believe it.

Yet we have one witness of Socrates and no one disputes his existence or history.

We have 4 historically accurate accounts of Christ. They state His name, His accusers, Pontius Pilate, and Herod. All real historical figures.

I have said repeatedly and will reiterate here - choice. That is the heart of the matter.

Christ is very God. Look for Him. Search for Him. He is not far. Truth will testify.

He is Truth.

There are no victims in the rejection of Christ. There are those who choose to believe and those who choose to reject Him.
