By Dan Delzell, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Papillion, Nebraska (Proving Christianity is what makes it science)
If you currently lack faith in Christ, you perhaps balk at the idea that Christianity can be proven scientifically. But if you were to turn to Jesus in repentance and faith, you would start down the path of sanctified reason and a higher level of knowledge that is only attainable by submitting your soul to your Creator and embracing the Gospel for yourself. The One who created us with the ability to do science knows exactly what will happen if you surrender yourself to the overwhelming evidence for Christ’s resurrection and the scientific proof for Christianity.
So, will you accept and rely upon the Gospel promises in God’s Word, rather than your own limited subset of knowledge? Without faith, you will never experience the certainty of salvation. You must first receive the free gift of salvation through faith in the Savior. As Jesus made perfectly clear, “You must be born again” (John 3:7).
Once you rely upon the historical events of the cross and the empty tomb as the basis of your forgiveness of sins, your faith instantly begins to grow into a scientific certainty within your heart. This scientia, sanctified reason, knowledge, science, episteme and assurance will entirely change the way you view life, death and the world to come. It is a proven fact!

So Pastor Dan is promising secret knowledge accessible only to those who will believe. Nice to see Gnosticism is enjoying a resurgence among Lutherans in 2023.
NearlyDeconstructed, I was just thinking the same thing regarding Gnosticism!
“Don’t trust science! Believe the Bible, and then the science will be made known to you personally! No need to spend years studying and doing research with learned scientists, and no need to read peer reviewed research!”
yep, one more cultist lying. if I weren’t so fogged by the flu, I’d make an attempt at the 12 days of christmas with how christians fail
He is a great example of something I have always told my students: You can’t substitute belief for logic, and you can’t answer a question of science with faith, any more than you can substitute logic for belief or answer a question of faith with science. No less than Dr. Everett Koop—the Surgeon General under President Reagan and a conservative Christian and Republican—and Dr. Anthony Fauci (as I understand, a practicing Roman Catholic) have said as much.
Dan Delzell said, “But if you were to turn to Jesus in repentance and faith, you would start down the path of sanctified reason and a higher level of knowledge that is only attainable by submitting your soul to your Creator and embracing the Gospel for yourself.”
Man, talk about your unfalsifiable circular reasoning.
Sanctified reason. I guess that means……dang if I know. Just more mumbo jumbo. It’s like a carrot on a stick to make the donkey run. He never catches up to it. The carrot is always out of reach like the promise of salvation if you just have faith. Yet more mumbo jumbo. Faith is like trying to be a better person. You cant get there because the goal keeps moving. Who needs science when faith conveys all knowledge.
