Bible Question:
Hello all, I came across an essay last night while researching first-century historians, preparing to rebut a non-Christian's contention that the Jesus we know and worship today was fabricated. This article seems to make the same arguments that my opponent does, all laid out nicely point by point. I unfortunately cannot see any way to answer it... I could not possibly summarize the entire piece here, but if any are willing to take the time to read it and respond, I would be immensely grateful! The essay is located at http://www.magi.com/(tilde character)oblio/jesus/jhcjp.htm Unfortunately you'll have to insert the tilde character where indicated, since this site doesn't allow it in a post.... :-( Looking forward to any response! Sincerely, --Cheryl |
Bible Answer: There are 44 prophecies in eleven old testament books which were fulfilled by Jesus. The non-Jewish historian Josephus wrote about Jesus. Jews to this day acknowledge that Jesus lived, but they say He was a renegade, a trouble maker. I haven't read the argument you talked about, but there is plenty of evidence that Jesus is real. Most importantly, is the conviction in my heart. John 20:29 Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed. |
