Is that what you truly think, that reason must lead to the resurrection being impossible, so you accept it absent reason? Wow, you really are uneducated on the Bible and what faith really is. How many times did Jesus refer to 'those that have (spiritual) eyes, let them see'?

Here's a clue. A faithful person reads the Old and New Testament and involves his/her reason at all turns. A real Christian's reason is edified by his or her God's Spirit generated faith. It is part of what to be born again and become a new creation is all about.

The Christian reader comes upon a scene as depicted in Daniel Chapter Five and since this person believes God, the scene is a telling of real events ... and yet a hand, just a hand, not a body just a hand, appeared in the King of Babylon's palace party central and wrote on a wall in plain view of the king and his guests!

IF you are a person who believes God, the scene is an eye witness account. On the other hand, if you are a Mormon who wants to excuse lies and deception and false prophecies and the sexual predation of Joseph Smith, you will tell a faithful person seeking to lead you out of the moronISM darkness that 'reason dictates the scene cannot be real'.

It really would behoove you to learn the contrast between reason edified by faith in God's Promises and just reason edified by the opinions of others. Did you know that 'Abraham believed God, and it was counted for him righteousness' is a real assertion in the Bible? And do you know what Abraham believed and did which proved his belief? Look it up, the reality may surprise you. [ Here's a hint: Abraham proved he innately believed God by what he said to those accompanying him and his son on that trip to the mountain for the sacrifice. ]

I appreciate your concern, but, as I said before, I read the texts and I'm not basing my belief on opinions of others. I'm basing it on personal experience reading the word of God and feeling the presence of the spirit which enlightens my understanding. I was responding to the reader who said her/his reason leads to a belief that Mormonism is false. Well, I have spiritual confirmation contrary to his/her reasoning.
