“Take away miracles and you take away the Resurrection, and then you’ve got nothing to proclaim. Paul said that if Jesus wasn’t raised from the dead, our faith is futile, it’s useless, it’s empty.”
But why? She here’s the problem. The idea that if these things didn’t really happen, then our entire faith is crushed. That literal interpretation is what makes people believe dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark, and that God kicked out asses out of Eden because we ate from the tree of knowledge - and any number of things that quite frankly sound completely bananas. There needs to be some reading between the lines. We need to spend time appreciating the poetry.
