Bible Note: 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. |
