More Bible Logic

[Motar]

"If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost." (1 Corinthians 15:13-18 NIV)

In the passage above, Paul makes a series of "if...then" logical conditional statements.

"Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?" (Matthew 12:25-26 NIV)

In the above reference, Jesus makes a logical conditional "if...then" statement.

In far too few places, unfortunately.
the Old Testament was compiled during the Babylonian captivity, and contains a lot of 'pious myth', AKA' big whopper falsities'. For example, there is no archeological evidence that Solomon's' first temple was more than a big storage barn - yet it inspires a lot of Zealots to try to take over the temple mount.
