Just Another Guy?

The pagan media have gone to extremes to persuade us Jesus of Nazareth was the ultimate historical con artist (or, at very best, one of countless "prophets" who became famous but who ultimately mean nothing). Contrarily, I believe the earnest shepherds of old have far more credibility than the learned journalists of present. One scriptural verse to summarize: "And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them." (Luke 2:20).

The shepherds were simple people. They could tell you only what they saw and heard. Modern-day journalists are not simple people. They're quite "learned." They feel qualified to tell you a lot more than what they personally see and hear . . . and their reportage is grounded in their personal politics. They report to you (as "news") their version of what they figure those other people must really have seen and heard 2,000 years ago—as it conforms to their 21st-Century politics and social views—and they expect you to accept their "enlightened" interpretations of history. (Were they the eye-witnesses? No. Are they free of bias in their reinterpretations? Well, why don't we ask them?)

Whom do you believe, really?
