As another poster said, and I am shamelessly stealing, “Either you have faith or you don’t.”
Who needs “physical evidence” when you have FAITH?
If the Bible says He did, that is plenty good enough for me.
Much better to live your life as though there is a God and be wrong, than to live your life as though there is no God and be wrong..........
No need for an of this. Just read the brilliant analysis provided by Benedict XVI (sometimes called a theological Einstein) in his Book. Volume II Jesus of Nazareth -Holy Week on the chapter on the Resurrection. The best analysis ever!!!! Nothing more is needed.
There is more evidence of the birth, life, death, burial & resurrection of Jesus than any event in ancient history.
As for the Shroud. I believe it is His.
What an idiotic argument. By that standard, we have no evidence Julius Caesar or Caligula ever lived.
The existence of Christ is about as well documented as can be expected. Whether he was indeed the Son of God is a question that science or history cannot answer, of course.
Yep - I’ve read the eye witness accounts.
Laughable. They “debunk” claims that aren’t made, ignore the feature of the Dead Sea Scrolls which proves Jesus was the Christ (their version of the Old Testament is the same that we have, and therefore proves that dozens of detailed predictions about Him were made hundreds of years of years before his birth) and as far as the Shroud of Turin goes, take as undisputed fact things that are in dispute. Then, to close the article up, they take the Histry/Discovery Channel approach and find the most liberal Bible scholar they can get ahold of to say “Jesus was what I think he was, not what the Bible and contemporary documents say he was. Neener, neener, neener.”
Lord, please just come back and end the stupidity.
You have to admit Jesus Christ’s birth is way better documented than Obama’s.
our current messiah doesn’t have a birth certificate either.
“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah; for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Matthew 12: 39-40
Matthew 24 is an interesting read. Jesus predicted the temple would be destroyed, which did happen. The rest of Matthew 24 has still not happened. So, what? - did the author just write one fulfilled prophecy? No, I believe the temple had not been destroyed yet. Just as Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple, which was definitely destroyed in 70 AD, the rest will come pass.
If that is not enough there is plenty of moral historical evidence for Christ:
I think every single year during Easter season there’s an article on this issue. Usually in Time or Newsweek, whose existences—either physical or virtual—are questionable.
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:2-4:7
Thomas had a similar problem. He faced it.
I place dis/non-believers in the same grouping as those who think Pete Rose should not be in the Hall of Fame.
Documentation clearer than barry´s....
