Millpond Ink Musing, 2015 – Of Witnesses, Credible Evidence, and Jury Formation
It’s not the number of witnesses that determines the truthfulness of the evidence presented at trial to the jurors, but the number of witnesses who independently and experientially attest to the same facts.
Jesus had many accusers but there was no credibility found in them and no agreement to what was testified. However, those who testified of Jesus as Christ and Messiah, we have first the testimony of God Himself, followed by many who testified of the same events concerning Christ; e.g., His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension.
All men; assuming they have any concern whatsoever of what will take place after they die, should see themselves seated on a jury and examine the evidence. While most will seek an excuse for dismissal, such does not relieve them of a later judgment.
Jury here and now; defendant hereafter.
