I saw him in a minor league baseball game in Arizona in the early 60s. Doubt they were talking about that Jesus though. 8>)

***But when our neighbors tell us over the backyard fence that they’ve watched a documentary or read an article claiming Jesus is a myth,***

Perfect definition of my worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money).
For someone who has never cracked a book, he knows more about the bible than anyone. Just ask him. He got it all from the History channel and others of this type nonsense programs.

Easter approaches, and the left is more and more uncomfortable living in a world with rabbits, chocolate eggs, sounds of joy, and little children dressed up to go to church.

They feel compelled to trash Easter and everything Christian.

That’s OK. I hear that Jesus questions CNN’s existence too...

CNN, whose reporter Bernard Shaw complained on air when the bombs started falling, (they are falling next to me!) in the First Gulf War.

CNN has lost it’s credibility, and continues to lose it, every time the producers seek to throw a dart or two at ‘the target of the week’.

Please remember human misunderstandings about God have no effect on your soul. It is protected.

No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made YOU flawless

The sound of Life!

"When you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions," says the narrator. "It's what you do."

After the Budweiser chameleons and bullfrogs, that one is my favorite commercial of all time!

CNN's coverage of political affairs appears to prefer the so-called "Progressive" ideology--an ideology whose "believers" approach a number of subjects, such as a purported desire to reduce poverty, from their own unique perspective, focusing on exercise of government power.

On the subject of "alleviating poverty," we, as Americans, might look back at the nation's beginnings in order to discover how the philosophy of the Founders influenced the beginnings of an idea that brought about more freedom, opportunity, creativity, and goods and services for more people than had occurred in all of prior history.

As to the role of Christianity in that founding, we might remember that the same Jefferson who believed that each individual should use reason to question even the existence of God, also penned our Declaration of Independence which, he wrote, reflected "the American mind" of the time and included references to God in four distinct manifestations.

In others of Jefferson's writings, he asserted that Jesus "preached philanthropy and universal charity and benevolence," that "a system of morals is presented to us [by Jesus], which, if filled up in the style and spirit of the rich fragments he left us, would be the most perfect and sublime that has ever been taught by man."

He wrote, "His (Jesus's) moral doctrines...were more pure and perfect than those of the most correct of the philosophers...and they went far beyond both in inculcating universal philanthropy, not only to kindred and friends, to neighbors and countrymen, but to all mankind, gathering all into one family, under the bonds of love, charity, peace, common wants, and common aids," which, Jefferson said, "will evince the peculiar superiority of the system of Jesus over all others."

Comparing the Hebrew code which, according to Jefferson, "laid hold of actions only," "He [Jesus] pushed his scrutinies into the heart of man; erected his tribunal in the region of his thoughts, and purified the waters at the fountain head."

That Jefferson cut out the statements which he believed to be directly attributable to Jesus, pasted them into a little book which he kept by his bed and, by his family's words, read from them daily, might lead one to conclude that his political philosphy probably was influenced by what he considered to be the superiority of the "philosophy" of Jesus.

Jefferson's talents and abilities were legend. His devotion to individual liberty and to the ideas essential to liberty were based on simple principles, some of which, undoubtedly, came from his understanding of the basic law underlying all valid human law: do unto others as you would have them do unto you," which is an individual response to the challenge of Jesus.

Perhaps Jefferson understood that the philosophy capsulated in that idea has the power to make people in a society more individually benevolent, more loving, more caring, and more willing to take care of each other.

There is a sharp contrast between a philosophy of love and the politics of hate which motivate today's terrorists, as well as well as the politics of the radical Left which now spouts its personal hatred in our partisan politics.

Likewise, there is a sharp contrast between a philosophy which calls for individually motivated charity and benevolence and one which requires that some individuals claim some superior right to coercively take the hard earned wages of other individuals in order to "redistribute" to others of their choosing, in the name of the Gospel of Jesus.

One idea allows individual liberty: the other idea demands coercive enforcers who use the idea of "benevolence" to buy power over others.

What Burke, in his Speech on Conciliation..." 1775, called the colonists' "fierce spirit of liberty" is still alive in the hearts of many citizens and some still "augur misgovernment at a distance and sniff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze." And, just as he observed then, their religion, "under a variety of denominations agreeing in nothing but in the communion of the spirit of liberty" underlies their devotion to freedom.

Politicians promising goodies and buying votes in exchange for power over other people's lives is popular political sport. Such sport should not be associated with the philosophy of Jesus, however.

There is one entity,apparently, CNN will never question and they really should.
But see it requires a soul.
Which i guess they do not believe in either.
Much less a ounce of integrity or humility.
Else the entity CNN should question is itself.

The historical evidence that Jesus of the Bible lived is beyond dispute...

Anyone who thinks otherwise is either lying or ignorant...

What you believe about Jesus is a whole other story...

Pascals wager....

This notion has been around for a long time. Decades ago I read a column where the writer mentioned it...he thought it was nuts.

His comment was, "If that's true, the Thirty Years War wasn't necessary."

That is so old school.

Even skeptics now admit there was a man named Jesus. They are now busy trying to undermine his deity.
