Sooner or Later it Comes Down to Faith

Romans 10:6-7 KJV
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

There is sufficient evidence to prove that Jesus Christ did in fact live and die on a Cross and rise again from the grave.

The evidence in fact is so overwhelming that it should be easier to accept that Christ rose again from the grave than any of the Roman history that is considered general fact. The fact is, most of what we accept as truth about Roman history is based upon a handful of documents that were copies of copies hundreds of years after the originals. There is no way to support their veracity. On the other hand the Bible is supported by thousands of ancient manuscripts which, when laid side by side, demonstrate the veracity of the copies so that we can be sure what they say is accurate.

But be that as it may, no one is ever saved through the evidence. I note that Romans chapter ten speaks of
• The mouth
• The heart
• The ear (though the word is not here but the hearing) and even
• The foot
But does not mention the mind.

Though there is sufficient evidence to satisfy the honest mind, salvation is a step of faith. At some point a person must stop asking questions and just believe.
