The link is bad, but I suspect that it is not proof of death. Assuming, for sake of argument, all the 'ifs', there is reason to suspect that he was simply in a coma as was Lazarus.

Do you not know that your advanced apologetics author is a holocaust denier and blames Israel for JFK's assassination?

You seem to value Tim O'Neill's opinion very highly. Why not invite him to read this thread, and ask his opinion of if you're making any mistakes here? I'd he very interested in the result. That should be no problem if you're confident it's all above board.
As you know, O'Neill cites Josephus and Tacitus...just as Ehrman does...just as I did.
I would LOVE to see O'Neill engage some of the mythers in this forum again...the last time he did that was a joy to read.

Yes, there is corroboration from Jewish and Roman sources. I provided links to the posts which discuss this.
Quote:which obviously doesn't count as it is no more credible than any other story book.
Incorrect. Ehrman cites the four gospels as well as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter and one other which escapes me at the moment. These are credible sources of information concerning Jesus and not mere "story books".
Quote:How can you have a verification of death when there's no verification of life? Have I been out so long that Christians got all this cool stuff while I was gone or are you just being goofy?
"...he did exist..." (Ehrman, Bart, Did Jesus Exist?, 6.)
Sorry, I didn't know that because Ehrman cited them that means they're credible sources. Lol

He's also a geo-centrist.
How does that impact that accuracy of the material presented in those three books?

You did not know that hundreds...thousands...of professional NT scholars accept them?
That may explain why you are a member of this forum.

That Jesus existed.
Quote:And why is it that, even given those historical bits, he refuses to acknowledge that the resurrection story is an account of reality?
He has different views on the resurrection, obviously.
But at least he, Tim O'Neill and other honest atheists and skeptics can admit that Jesus really did exist in contradistinction with the intellectually lazy Jesus Mythicists who think that merely denying that fact is the easy way to a God-free life.
So... you agree that they accept that a guy named Jesus existed, but not the one in the story who got resurrected, right?
So, what do they say about the Jesus they accept as real?
