Really?! Well, what were the names of those 500 eyewitnesses?
No, I didn't think so.
Well, where are the 500 separate sworn dispositions (testimony) of those 500 eyewitnesses?
No, I didn't think so.
Well, then at least show me the Death Certificates of those 500 eyewitnesses who were willing to die for their testimony.
Again, I didn't think so.
Regards,
One does not need a sworn deposition and/or a death certificate to be a credible eyewitness to a historic fact.
Saul who was persecuting and killing Christians, became a witness himself on the way to Damascus. He later became a martyr for his testimony.
Many of the witnesses became martyrs-- is that a good enough "death certificate" for you?
May the God grant you the grace to see the Way, the Truth and the Life.
God Bless!
