ATHEISTS DISREGARD CONVINCING EVIDENCE OF CHRIST'S DEITY

In the book Evidence That Demands a Verdict, Josh McDowell states, "The evidence proving the deity of Jesus Christ [and I would add, the genuineness and authenticity of the Bible as the Word of God], is overwhelmingly conclusive to any honest, objective seeker after truth. However, not all not even the majority -- of those to whom I have spoken have accepted Him as their Saviour and Lord. This is not because they were unable to believe -- they were simply unwilling to believe! For example, a brilliant but confused psychiatrist . . . frankly confessed to me that he had never been willing to honestly consider the claims of Christ in his own life for fear that he would be convinced and, as a result, would have to change his way of life. Other well-known professing atheists, including Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell, have refused to come to intellectual grips with basic historical facts concerning the birth, life, teachings, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Those who have, such as C. S. Lewis and C. E. M. Joad, have found the evidence so convincing that they have accepted the verdict that Jesus Christ is truly who He claimed to be and who others have believed Him to be the Son of God and their own Saviour and Lord." -- "Man's Ascent to God," hdm0127, by I.
