Judges 8 Ps 42 1 Cor 15

In our scientistic age we have come to idolize reason through empirical evidence. The concept of a resurrection and a life after death is given the status of mythical dreaming, unproven and unreal. Yet this is a major pillar of the Christian faith. Remove this and hope evaporates and faith collapses. When Jesus spoke about ‘jot and tittles’ (Matthew 5:18) he was making the point that the whole of scripture is important and Paul reiterates that ‘all scripture is God breathed’ (2 Timothy 3:16). We cannot remove parts of scripture that don't suit our contemporary lifestyle otherwise our faith comes apart. It's all or nothing.
