Can a Man Rise From The Dead?

I might have titled this post “The Practice of Loving” and make it about how to give practical life to the principles of “care, responsibility, respect and knowledge” cited at http://gordon-feil-theology.blogspot.ca/2016/12/love-as-skill-and-attitude.html, but then I realized that I would be drawing on reasoning for which some readers  might not have the background to appreciate it. So I am going to take a large and long digression from my original direction to explain some things. 

I want to explain why I believe what I do about God and the Bible, and I will do it by posing a series of questions over several posts and then answering them. The first is at http://gordon-feil-theology.blogspot.ca/2017/01/rising-from-dead.html.
