1 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 7:9 | Emmaus | 84738 | ||
There are non Christan sources from apostolic times that attest to Jesus' existence. Which is all the more remarkable since he lived such an obscure life. But why should you be allowed to discount Christian sources attesting to Jesus' existence? Why is their testimony, for which we have more ancient manuscripts than almost any other historical personage of the same era, discounted as proof of existence. Could it be a double standard? You can't even prove, in the sense you are talking about, that your own great great great grand mother existed, except by the fact of your own existence. And I can use the same argument for a Creator from the very fact of the existence of creation and your own existence for that matter. |

2 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 7:9 | FreeThinker | 84739 | ||
"You can't even prove, in the sense you are talking about, that your own great great great grand mother existed, except by the fact of your own existence." Again you are going off track. My great great great grand mother is not said to have the power to come and go as she pleases. We know and understand how procreation works and since I was born before test tube babys, it is easy to deduce that she existed. With my response, I gave you Title and Author so that you could do research if you liked. Be do the same. I would like to see writings from the time and from other than christian and christian, other than the bible. Thanks |

See: Jesus Under Fire, Michael Wilkins and J.P. Moreland which has a chapter that shows all of the sources outside the Bible that attest to the exstence of Jesus. Or see: Josh McDowell's "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" which cites among others: Tacitus, Lucian, Flavius Josephus, Seutonius, Plinius Secundus and several of the Jewish Talmuds mention details of Christ's life and death. And please tell me why you reject Christian writers of the epistles and Gospels regarding the mere existence (not the divinity) of Jesus, but accept the writings of people who lived 1900 years later as more reliable sources about what happened in Jesus' time? The skeptics very own writing start from the point of the bible? Were they just shadow boxing? Are you applying a double standard? You seem willing to swallow a camel but are straining at a gnat. Is it really more likely that Jesus did not even exist, than it is that He did, given the course of history? Keep searching for the Truth Freethinker. The truth will set you free. Good night. |
