Facts not Faith
You just do your best to understand people, thats what I do. What we can't get to, we just cannot.
I look at it like this; We have Jesus tomb the tomb of Joseph, one of a possible two. We have the place he was baptised in, the river Jordan. We have the city this occured in - Jerusalem, we have the actual place and location he was killed in - the place of the skull, we have parts of the spot he stood in before Pilate--The Via Dolorosa, we have the actual gate he was marched through to his death-- The Damascus Gate, we have the actual bones of the high priest who judged him- Caiaphas, We have the house of Martha and Mary his friends he visted, we have the house of Peter his Apostle, we have the garden he prayed in and was betrayed in, we have the historical records of Josephus, Suetonius, Thallus, Pling the Younger, the Talmud and Lucian, then in my view Christ existed.
I consider this sufficent evidence of him. The bible spoke of and recorded these things, so in my view its sufficent evidence of its validity. The bible states that God is real. Its academic.
Peace.
The whole debate about the existence of Jesus is a whole different story and I will be pleased to talk to you about that, however I will respond to this post in a few days. Thanks for the debate.
