The Case for Christ
64 videos • 978 views • by yesroh One of my favorite lines from any movie or series is from the original Star Trek series, season 1, episode 16: The Galileo Seven. Mr. Spock, half human, half Vulcan, was incapable of emotion however, when the Galileo Shuttle was lost and the Starship Enterprise was looking for it, Spock as the commander aboard the shuttle, in an act of desperation, expended all the fuel ensuring the Galileo would burn up within seconds and all on board would die--and why? The giant fuel cloud caught the attention of the Enterprise, they locked in, beamed all aboard and all were safe. In the closing scene, Captain Kirk jokingly teases Spock, saying this was an act of desperation, an act of emotion. Spock's reply is something I've used many times in my life-: "Quite simply, Captain. I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at." My faith in Christ is the most important thing in my life--logically arrived at, although my emotions may influence my actions, I know that when I step back, I have to go with Christ. However, I've always been a huge fan of apologetics, and so for those who are not believers, I thought this would be a good way to start off with some slightly different material. I've always been a believer in my heart, but with a very logical mind, I know if the facts don't add up, then I have a problem. I'll nickname this book after one of my college papers "A Case for Common Sense". I plan to periodically post chapters from this in hopes that someone out there may discover what I've discovered--Jesus Christ, Son of God, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sins and therefore won us eternal life--when God's payment for our sin could not be fulfilled by us, God became man and gave Himself as a sacrifice. I'll go deeper later.
