It is impossible that Christianity is not God’s revelation of truth to man. Simply impossible. The math proves it beyond question. It doesn’t take faith to believe that one plus one equals two, and it doesn’t take faith to identify the religion which has mathematical certainty in its corner.
God didn’t have to give us mathematical proof of His existence, but He did it anyway. God didn’t have to give us proof of Christianity, but He chose to do so. And God didn’t have to give us proof of His love for us, but that is exactly what He did. The proof is irrefutable.
I live in Nebraska where I serve as a pastor. Imagine someone covering this entire state in silver dollars 6 feet deep. Then mark one coin and bury it anywhere across the state. Next, blindfold a man and have him choose one coin. The odds that he would choose the marked coin are the same odds of getting 8 prophecies all fulfilled in one man. God gave us about 300 fulfilled prophecies in the Person of Jesus Christ.
Here are 8 of those 300 prophecies:
(1) The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1; Luke 2:4-6)
(2) The Messiah will be a descendant of Jacob. (Numbers 24:17; Matthew 1:2)
(3) The Messiah will enter Jerusalem as a king riding on a donkey. (Zechariah 9:9; Mark 11:4-11)
(4) The Messiah will be betrayed by a friend. (Psalm 41:9; Luke 22:47,48)
(5) The Messiah’s betrayal money will be used to purchase a potter’s field. (Zechariah 11:13; Matthew 27:9,10)
(6) The Messiah will be spat upon and struck. (Isaiah 50:6; Matthew 26:67)
(7) The Messiah’s hands and feet will be pierced. (Psalm 22:16; John 20:25-27)
(8) Soldiers will gamble for the Messiah’s garments. (Psalm 22:18; Luke 23:34)
There is no way one man could have fulfilled all 8 of these prophecies unless God was making it happen. Who else controls history? Who else could give us such irrefutable proof for Christianity? The odds are one in one hundred quadrillion, or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
This mathematical proof was calculated by Professor Peter Stoner. He was chairman of the mathematics and astronomy departments at Pasadena City College until 1953. He then went to Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, where he served as chairman of the science division.
You don’t have to be a mathematics professor to see that this evidence is irrefutable. No one would pick the marked coin under those conditions. No one but God could have given us these biblical prophecies, and then brought them to fulfillment right before our eyes. It is impossible that Christianity is false. The math proves it, and the Man behind the math rose from the dead, just as it had been foretold.
It doesn’t take faith to see how the Bible could only have come from God. It does take faith, however, to accept Jesus as your Savior and to believe in God’s promise of eternal life. God has done everything to make this way open to you. If you choose to reject it in spite of the overwhelming evidence and in spite of God’s love for you, you will be walking away from an open door to paradise.
Some people won’t accept proof for the Bible even when it is irrefutable. Man, by nature, is not very good at accepting the evidence which God has laid out for us. The bias against God and against the supernatural is so strong that even irrefutable evidence is viewed with suspicion and doubt.
Never mind the fact that the prophecy about Christ’s crucifixion was given hundreds of years before that type of execution was being used. And who but God could have identified Bethlehem 700 years before Christ was born? You really have to have a closed mind to miss the supernatural quality of the Bible, especially when you really start to dig into it. The historical and mathematical conclusions all point to God’s plan of salvation through His Son.
Here is an idea. Try looking at this mathematical proof as if you didn’t have any bias against God and against the supernatural, and see how that approach works for you. The end result of your honest evaluation may shock you, and then it will change you from the inside out. That is what happens whenever man embraces the truth as revealed to us in Scripture.
One plus one equals two. Old Testament history plus New Testament fulfillment equals irrefutable proof. This is why Christianity is not a “blind faith.” It is a faith built on immovable facts. Are you ready to have that firm foundation in your life? Or do you plan to finish out your time here on this planet with nothing more than an unreasonable bias against God?
No one ever said man is going to always be reasonable. That’s the tragic thing about the human soul ever since sin entered the world. There are some biases which go even deeper than common sense and mathematical certainty. That’s what our sin does to us, and this is why you and I need the Messiah. We need Jesus because we are sinners. We have broken God’s law. And God has been gracious enough not only to give us His only Son, but even to give us conclusive proof for Christianity.
So it’s no surprise to find that every other belief system and every other religion lacks even a hint of mathematical evidence, let alone irrefutable proof. The followers of those religions are no less sincere, but the foundation for their faith is not based on irrefutable evidence. Where is your faith based today? Do you have a bias against God which is keeping you from considering the mathematical certainty which supports Christianity?
If so, God still loves you, and there is still hope. Many former unbelievers who are now Christians know just what you are going through. This is a critical time for you to consider your sin against God, and your need for His forgiveness.
But don’t take my word for it. Instead, accept the irrefutable proof which our Creator has kindly given us in the Old and New Testaments. He loves you far more than you can fathom. He proved it at the cross, and through the fulfilled prophecies. You would have to be blind to miss it.

The Left’s Continuous, Covert Denigration Of Christianity 
“SNL” -Satan’s ‘Mouth Piece’ 
From Medical Tyranny To A President Aiding Terrorists–An Unstable World 
I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Of Christ! 
This article, although does point out the obvious, PERMITTED and COMMON use of ‘surface’, or ‘milk’ of God’s perfect works woven within ONLY God’s Word, which IS Jesus, it negates, DOWNPLAYS the reality of the DEEPER meanings and truths, the ‘meat’ that Paul AND ALL writers in the Bible had been speaking of ALL ALONG. I am telling you, my dearest brethren, that God has revealed to me, that which had EVEN BEEN DENIED to Daniel, in his pleas unto God to reveal that which the Father HAD TO THEN DECLINE, telling him, and us, that He would KEEP THESE THINGS SEALED UNTIL! THE TIME HAD COME! Thus, God has kept the enemy more unprepared than he would have otherwise been when the event occurs.
As I stressed from my initial posts; i ask that NOT ONE takes MY word for this, (as that is EXACTLY the disobedience that created the current, prophesied deception that is about to send over 97% of the present day church DIRECTLY TO HELL!; left behind only hours from now, thinking instead, that they are heaven bound!), but in obedience to God’s Word, to follow HIS DIRECTIONS, which is ALL I NOW POINT TO!, to confirm the precise meanings of EVERY VERSE, EVERY PHRASE, even EVERY SINGLE WORD, NAME, AND CHARACTER USED THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE!!
You look, even now, but DO NOT SEE! It is a cursed disbelief in you, the result of great subtilty, implemented with ever greater intensity as EACH GENERATION came and went! 2 Corinthians ” ..so that your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
STOP THY RESISTANCE OF THY GOD’S PERFECT INSTRUCTION! Follow the directions that I have so diligently laid out unto you in obedience! You will see the truth you have stumbled through this walk seeking; walking through the devils obstacles and cunning traps, powerless! In some make believe, watered down, CHANGED VERSION of the Church of Man, not of Jesus! Not the Church which Paul and the other saints, that even Christ Jesus himself died for! You’ve KNOWN things have not added up. Each Church believing it is ONLY THEY who have the “right way” to worship, to preach, to serve, that will “get them to heaven”!
FOLLOW JESUS! Follow his directions laid out exactly in the Bible! Say “NO!” to that spirit of Jezebel rising up in you trying so desperately, at all costs, to retain that vineyard, your mind, keeping you from the truth, whispering loudly now”Who does HE, THIS WRITER, WITHOUT EVEN AN ‘ATTRACTIVE’ PRESENTATION’ THINK HE IS!?”
TELL HER “NO!” Tell Jesus, the Word of God, “Yes”, “YES, LORD! I believe in YOU! The Living water, that IS the Word of God! INFINITE, INCORRUPTIBLE, LOVE, LIFE! POWER!”
Follow him, the directions I only repeat, to the last I can now reach before I go, as given unto me, IN HIS WORD, and by the Holy Spirit!
For you shall be reminded of even this that I write in truth, love, and the desperation of yet ANOTHER MAN, who has laid down his life for you.
Go now, whilst able.
Always, in Jesus name. AMEN

I always thought that preachers missed one of the most profound points of the Bible. The Bible is 100% accurate in its prophetic scripture. How could a scientific world based on reason ignore such statistics, but the will at every turn.
