First of all, I want to mention again; your not brining any evidence to support you, only your opinion. Second, I don't think the skepticism of the apostles would disprove any or all historical and practical evidence that I have provided. It merely describes how they felt lost without Christ...
Your going there now? Man, your ARE desperate. No, they didn't believe that He would come back, they despaired. You have a good point though, they SHOULD have believed. As you do apparently haha. Thanks for defending Jesus! God bless you! And I'm still addressing your other comment, stand by.
Woa...man, your still not debunking them. The disciples were surprised because they thought Jesus was dead lol. They lost their faith until he came back. I have a question for you too; How can you reject something, that has so much historical evidence to prove it actually happened? My...
The Design Argument
This sort of argument is of wide and perennial appeal. Almost everyone admits that reflection on the order and beauty of nature touches something very deep within us. But are the order and beauty the product of intelligent design and conscious purpose? For theists the answer...
The Argument from Time and Contingency
We notice around us things that come into being and go out of being. A tree, for example, grows from a tiny shoot, flowers brilliantly, then withers and dies.Whatever comes into being or goes out of being does not have to be; nonbeing is a real...
. The Argument from Change
The material world we know is a world of change. This young woman came to be 5'2", but she was not always that height. The great oak tree before us grew from the tiniest acorn. Now when something comes to be in a certain state, such as mature size, that state cannot...

2. As a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin that condemned Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea is unlikely to be a Christian invention.
There was an understandable hostility in the early church toward the Jewish leaders. In Christian eyes, they had engineered a judicial murder of Jesus. Thus, according to...
Finally, fact #4: The original disciples believed that Jesus was risen from the dead despite their having every reason not to. Despite having every predisposition to the contrary, it is an undeniable fact of history that the original disciples believed in, proclaimed, and were willing to go to...
Finally, I want to consider one more saying: Jesus’s saying on the date of his second coming in Mark 13.32: "But of that day or that hour no man knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This is an authentic saying of the historical Jesus because the later Church...
Was the author reliable in getting the facts straight? The book of Acts enables us to answer that question decisively. The book of Acts overlaps significantly with secular history of the ancient world, and the historical accuracy of Acts is indisputable. This has recently been demonstrated anew...
I don’t have enough time to talk about all of these. So let me say something about the first and the last points.
1. There was insufficient time for legendary influences to expunge the historical facts. No modern scholar thinks of the gospels as bald-faced lies, the result of a massive...
I my gosh bub...the way your running away is kind of funny to be honest. Not bringing any arguments, evidence or rational reason to make me believe your accurate and correct. This...is beautiful. Anyways, I guess I'll have to copy paste the arguments AGAIN. It's such a pain to do this, but if...
Oh boy... typical Atheist here. Avoids the challenge and goes of on a tangent. It's only common sense to believe in God. It's called 'Natural' apologetics to defend that position. Then there's Christian, And Catholic. As I've said many, many times, I've given evidence to support Christianity...
I'm sorry to disappoint? Your still not attempting to disassemble any of my arguments as I challenged you to do. Like the Resurrection argument etc. Nor are you bringing ANY evidence to support what your saying. You didn't refute any of what I said earlier either...
