True or False

True or false
The Apostle Paul writes,
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, 
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 
                                                                                             1 Corinthians 1:18.
What the apostle Paul wrote is true. Those who do not believe in Christ Jesus do think the gospel message, the message of a suffering Saviour is foolishness. And there are many other things Christians believe that would seem foolishness using man’s logic.
The apostles creed while not written by an apostle of Jesus states what all who believe in Christ Jesus believe.
1.I believe in God the Father the almighty maker of heaven and earth
2. I believe in Jesus Christ God’s on and only Son, our Lord and Saviour.
3. I believe Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary
4. I believe Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate; That He was Crucified, died, was buried. That he descended in hell.
5. I believe He rose again on the third day from the dead.
6. I believe that he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
7. I believe Jesus will one day Judge the living and the dead.
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost
9. I believe in the Church which is the communion of the saints,
10. I believe in the forgiveness of sin.
11. I believe in the resurrection of the body.
12. I believe in life everlasting.
The apostle John’s gospel records Jesus as saying of himself,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
If all of this is indeed foolishness, then those who do not believe in Christ Jesus have nothing to fear. If on the other hand it is all true, then those who do not believe in Christ Jesus have at the very least something serious to think about.
What I would ask is if you do not believe in Christ Jesus at least take some time to read the New Testament for yourself before you make your decision. Take time to read what the early believers in Jesus believed about him.
Please at least think about it.
