Believing anything that Craig said is a huge mistake. the man admitted he would ignore evidence against Christianity

[ChemTrailSkys]

The only "Evidence" is the from the mouth of the Church who killed him....The Vatican!

He "Spiritualy" went back to where He came from! Exactly like the rest of us will do when we Die!

When He gave up the Ghost He said....."It is Finished"!

Don't believe a Word that comes from the Mouth that killed Him for what He had to say to the "CHURCH" about the CHURCH!

[miksulder]

i dont have any evidence of it, but still i believe, AMEN! because faith don't depend on evidence it depends believing in the unseen.
