I see no problem here. What is your issue with this?
It's mocking people that ask for basic evidence to substantiate the claims of Jesus resurrecting from the dead. The Jews look for miracles to establish someone as credible in what they claim. The Greeks look for logical argument to verify claims. Paul's argument basically amounts to just believe what he says on blind faith cuz that's what God wants.
I can use logical arguments to prove the Triune God. Christianity never appeals to blind faith - this is your own retarded idea about it. Do you realize that the Roman empire became Christian and the early Church Fathers were philosophers steeped in the greek tradition? You don't even know how much you don't know.
The Roman empire became Christian through forced conversion. Did you see my post on the Edict of Thessalonica?
Here's a thought. The Gentiles were too pagan to understand who and what Jesus was, so they fashioned him in the image of their Godmen.
Do you know how much you don't know? Such talk is a two-way street. From that text from Paul, sure looks like a promotion of blind faith. Prove your Triune God with logical arguments if you want.
So what? Does that change it becoming Christian? Christians were prosecuted and massacred for not participating in pagan rituals. Or do you think the Roman pagan cults weren't forced on people and everyone loved it so much?
Anything to support this claim with?
That's called quote mining. You can cherry pick quotes that affirm your assumptions this way. The correct approach to Scripture is holistic and informed by the tradition of the Church that has produced it.
I use TAG which poses that God is the necessary precondition for knowledge (or any universal abstract concepts) to exist. It's argumentation on the paradigm level, comparing the Christian worldview with other possible worldviews and proving only the Christian one can provide justification and grounding for the laws of logic, truth, meaning, purpose, etc.
We can go through it if you're into philosophy, otherwise I don't see much point because it requires good knowledge of logic, metaphysics and epistemology.
