Mere Fabrication?
According to TDVC...
"Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith - acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove." (Page 341)
"Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical.... Religious allegory has become a part of the fabric of reality. And living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people." (Page 342)
The Truth - EXPOSED!!!
While it may be true that some world religions and cults are based on manmade fabrications, Christianity is based on historical God-sent revelation.
The greatest revelatory act of God in Old Testament history was the deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt. God, through Moses, inflicted ten plagues on the Egyptians that thoroughly demonstrated His awesome power (Exodus 7-12). God's demonstration of power was all the more impressive since the Egyptians believed their many false gods had the power to protect them from such plagues.
Note that the historical miracles and events wrought by God were always accompanied by spoken words. The miracle or event was never left to speak for itself. Nor were human beings left to infer whatever conclusions they wanted to draw from the event (fabrications). God made sure that when a significant event occurred there was a prophet at hand to interpret it.
For example, Moses was there to record everything related to the Exodus.
The apostles were there to record everything related to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
God has revealed Himself in history, and He always made sure that His historical actions were adequately recorded!
