Personal experience and logic arent exclusive things, my answer shows i believe if i was born over 2000 years ago and i viewed my personal experiences logically and i thought i saw jesus accend into heaven and then i thought i saw him rise from the dead id believe he was the son of god. Like i said unless somone showed me a flaw in my belief.
This answer is based on me trying to imagine what my thought process would be like minus all the education and knowledge ive recieved in my life, and trying to imagine im an illiterate uneducated fisherman in the middle east whos just seen a man accend into heaven then rise from the dead. I like to think i value my personal experiences and look upon them in a logical way.
that,s all true and that's all i was trying to say there was no hidden traps.
