    (6) Hallucinations come from within, from what we already know, at least unconsciously. This one said and did surprising and unexpected things (Acts 1:4,9)—like a real person and unlike a dream. (7) Not only did the disciples not expect this, they didn't even believe it at first—neither Peter...

    Refutation of the Hallucination Theory: Thirteen Arguments If you thought you saw a dead man walking and talking, wouldn't you think it more likely that you were hallucinating than that you were seeing correctly? Why then not think the same thing about Christ's resurrection? (1) There were too...

    Refutation of the Conspiracy Theory: Seven Arguments Why couldn't the disciples have made up the whole story? (1) Blaise Pascal gives a simple, psychologically sound proof for why this is unthinkable: The apostles were either deceived or deceivers. Either supposition is difficult, for it is...

    Refutation of the Swoon Theory: Nine Arguments Nine pieces of evidence refute the swoon theory: (1) Jesus could not have survived crucifixion. Roman procedures were very careful to eliminate that possibility. Roman law even laid the death penalty on any soldier who let a capital prisoner...

    The Strategy: Five Possible Theories We believe Christ's resurrection can be proved with at least as much certainty as any universally believed and well-documented event in ancient history. To prove this, we do not need to presuppose anything controversial (e.g. that miracles happen). But the...

    I have obviously failed to properly represent the Resurrection. I will have all of this looked at by multiple Priest's asap. I will say one thing though, circular reasoning is not always fallacious. I will present one last, solid piece of evidence for my position. Stand by.

    Ouch. Glad I could make you laugh at least. Maybe I'm not the most intellectually stimulating guy you've ever met, but my case remains nonetheless. At least I don't claim to be Jesus. That's not very intellectually sound IMO.

    It's hard to realize something is apparent "Garbage" to YOU, when there are not only historical facts to support it, but a method of simple rationalisation and deductive process, that I have described. As I will again; First: The apostles would not create a lie, and go out to die for it...

    Well, maybe it isn't interesting, but it's there nonetheless. Feel free to watch. I am right now. :)

    You don't have to read it, it's there just in case you do. I'm merely presenting arguments for my position, wether or not they come from me specifically, is unimportant. As long as they defend my faith, that's all that matters. No?

    How can you literally believe...

    We can rationalise the Resurrection. If it DID happen, then there would be a continual following, as well as a Church (which there is). If it did NOT happen, then there would NOT be a Church, and the following Jesus had, would have died out, like all the other people who claimed to be the...

    How is it laughable? You claim to be Jesus lol. Your not necessarily helping the community either, by making such a claim. Here's some homework for you: Evidence for the Resurrection of Christ by Peter Kreeft and Ronald K. Tacelli Argument from Pascal's Wager by Peter Kreeft The Divinity of...

    All of these 'Arguments' that you made are "Laughable" honestly... Empirical evidence is not the only method we can use to find truth. Can you empirically prove to me, that the use of solely empirical evidence is rational? Science cannot prove itself, empiricism cannot prove itself, and you...

    I really don't see how the actual religion of Christianity, has anything to do with wars. It is not the religion itself that promotes them, it's the people. One of the Ten Commandments actually says; "Thou shalt not kill" yet people do. God's fault? Nope, ours for disobeying Him. I'll ask again...

    Wow...it looks like you have Santa syndrome. I don't remember Santa, Jedi religions or Hitler driving people to endure gruesome martyrdoms for the sake of they're beliefs. The Apostles didn't die for a lie. They didn't preach for a lie, they didn't come up with some kind of false conspiracy...

    I think it should be accepted, that the fully human and fully divine man of Jesus Christ wouldn't have much trouble brining himself back to life. To be completely honest. What kind of proof would you accept? You set the bar so high that it can't even be met, with ANY kind of evidence...

    And at least I have provided evidence to prove that Jesus both claimed to be God, and demonstrated it. Unlike our friend here. Man, no one is brining any hard evidence against my case, it's really sad to be honest. If Jesus was not in fact who He said He was, than people would not have done what...
