Threat to a Christian's faith is NOT the problem. The problem is that non-Christians are lapping up the outrageous lies concerning the history of the church and the divinity of Christ.""

I don't get your point.
If someone is NOT Christian, and doesn't believe in Jesus and the Resurrection in the first place, what difference does this book make????

There truly is no PROOF of either position--Resurrection or lived on and did have a few years of life with a female companion.

Early versions of the Bible had many references to reincarnation. A Pope of earlier times had it all re-written and all such references removed, according to some books I have read. Dead Sea Scrolls have other references not included in today's Bible.
This current version of the Bible is just that:
THE CURRENT VERSION!!!!!

There is substantial evidence of the resurrection in multiple eyewitness accounts.

There is no evidence of Our Lord having had any dalliances with anyone.

A simple weighing of the evidence then requires a finding in favor of the resurrection as between those two cases.

As for your attack is on the credibility of the witnesses; I'm afraid you have already bought into some of the very phony premises regarding the history of the church and the origins of scripture which darken the pages of Da Vinci Code.

That notwithstanding, even if you reject the testimony that is preserved in God's word, the Dan Brown fantasy still has the burden of proof. It does not meet that burden and again as between the two cases the finding must be for the resurrection.
