Why I Am Still a Christian (Part 1)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg, a Christian of over 50 years, explains why he still believes in Christianity. He argues that emotional reasons may play a role in why some people stop professing their faith, and that Christianity centers on Jesus Christ rather than fear of the unknown or death. Gregg believes that evidence for and against the Bible has remained largely unchanged and that being a Christian involves following the evidence, not blindly accepting dogma or tradition. He cites eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus Christ found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and argues that their authenticity is supported by the testimony of early Christians who were willing to die for their beliefs.
