On the mount of Transfiguration

On the mount of Transfiguration
“After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.  
There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.  
Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 
Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” 
When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground, terrified.  
But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”  
When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” 
                                                                                            Matthew 17:1-9.
               
Hear is another classic example of an incident recorded in the Bible that if it were not true would be counter productive to the spreading of the Gospel of Christ.
Peter James and John went up into the mountains where they saw the face of Jesus shining like the sun.
There was also an appearance of Moses and Elijah and the three men were terrified.
It was obviously a traumatic experience one worth writing about after the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Such events in my mind have to be true otherwise they wouldn’t have been put into the Bible.
There are many events mentioned in the scriptures that if not true would make the Bible out to be one of the greatest book of lies in human history.
Instead the Bible is the greatest and most honest book ever written in human history.
It is a book that has polarised people ever since it has been written, Yet to those who believe its words it is the way to salvation and life eternal.
Think about it.
