I have taught apologetics for many years at my church to equip other believers about how much the world wants to do away with Jesus but they can't! I thank all those attackers because it has caused me to sharpen my sword to defend the holy word of god and jesus christ my savior.

Atheists home in on Christianity above all other belief systems. It is the largest religion in the world and wherever this isn’t the case there is rapid expansion of belief. Only Christianity’s Jesus has become a swear word, weird “alien” encounters all tend to carry anti-Christian messages, and so fourth. It’s almost as if the other belief systems are not attacked because, well, they aren’t true. All the effort goes against Christianity, specifically Jesus. To me that always added veracity to the scripture. Michael Mifsud Matthew,

All too often the cry of attack from anti-christian antagonists is that Christians have blind-faith. This couldn't be further from the truth. Ours is quite a reasonable faith. I'm yet to read this one, but I likewise applaud Strobel's cause to illustrate just how simply reasonable and logical Christianity is. Strobel's books also sell for next to nothing - Bill's fav Christian book store sell copies of "The Case for Christ" for only a few dollars; much better and more detailed than handing out tract-packs.

It is good and unsurprising to know that there is so much evidence supporting "The Case for the Real Jesus". Another reason supporting the NT's veracity is its strong ties with the OT scripture. Many prophecies from the OT are fulfilled in the NT. The NT could hardly be accurate otherwise. It's no wonder there are so many attempts to discredit Christianity at the moment when you consider how rapidly these attempts can spread with today's technology and the fact that the devil's time left is getting shorter and shorter.
