    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    There has been a tremendous amount of secular so called evidence presented but all of it has been met with disappointment. Christianity is a hoax, with no shortage of apologists that will rarely ever admit to being duped.

    Christianity is a cruel hoax.

    Iran restricts "Western" social sciences

    Yes, Afghans want westerners to crawl back under their rocks from where they came.

    Why did God need Jesus?

    It's all about the believers. Make it convoluted enough, get them to believe and next thing you know they'll be throwing their money into any tray that passes by them.

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    Since when is Acts of the Apostles non-canonical? I edited my post in order to spell it out for you. BTW, That's rather humorous, that non-canonical works can be ignored, no doubt apologists are reading the true works of Christ. Are non-canonical gospels of a different genre? LOL

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    I can understand an apologist rolling his eyes. It's extremely inconvenient to read (in Acts of the Apostles), of Paul and Barnabas being in Jerusalem while King Herod Agrippa I dies, because that places them in Jerusalem in 44CE. It's no wonder Gallio is a preferred marker, as if to pick and...

    Superstition vs Faith

    The only way is to define the terms so as to clarify what is meant, and post 9 did that by providing definitions from a dictionary. Religious faith beliefs are a sub set of superstitious beliefs but otherwise synonymous in that superstition covers a wide range of beliefs whereas religious faith...

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    No doubt, but just the same, the killing of James and the death of Herod is bracketed by Paul's arrival and departure from Jerusalem, and we know what year Herod Agrippa died.

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    Yes, but for the sake of argument I was using Acts just to show what a ef up it is.

    Superstition vs Faith

    I always think in terms of religion as being a euphemism for superstition. I use the euphemism so as not to offend, because that's the point of a euphemism.

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    :facepalm: The dates are based on what we read in Acts as well as from Galatians wherein Paul states that his visits were 14 years apart. The marker is the death of Herod Agrippa. From there it's a simple matter of reading what is there.

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    That was easy. Acts 12 begins, "It was about this time" of which refers to both the passage at the end of chapter eleven wherein Saul and Barnabas go to Jerusalem to bring gifts to the elders and also of the time that James, son of Zebedee is killed and this is followed by the death soon after...

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    Paul claims he visited Jerusalem twice, 14 years apart. According to Acts, Paul's second visit would have been in the year 44CE, so that makes his first visit to Jerusalem in the year 30CE. What were Peter, James, and John doing in Jerusalem in the year 30CE? Reading Josephus, John the...

    1 Corinthians 50 I [Paul] declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God Luke: They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He [Jesus] said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands...

    Should we expect secular evidence of Jesus existence?

    Philo was a contemporary and wrote about Pilate and described his position and expressed his opinion of him in no uncertain terms, so if people said there was no evidence of Pilate they were mistaken. Philo described a Pilate that would have executed a troublemaker like Jesus without so much as...
