The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This was written many centuries after supposed life of Jesus.

He only wrote about superstitions that Christans believed.

(June 18, 2023 at 3:08 am)Nishant Xavier Wrote: Third, we come to Jewish Historian Josephus: There are two indisputable references to Jesus Christ in Josephus, where (1) he says that Jesus was called Christ

This is a proven interpolation, added by Christians.

No one can say for certain what year Jesus died. It is a guessing game: it has to be during Pilate’s prefecture, on a year when Passover fell on a Friday – that is, if the Synoptics are right, and John is wrong. If he is right that Jesus died on a Friday the day before Passover, which he tells us repeatedly, then all the other Gospels are wrong.

So we don’t we know the actual date that Jesus died. Or entered triumphantly into Jerusalem. Or drove the moneychangers from the Temple. Or raised Lazarus from the dead. Or any of the other spectacular events we find in the Gospels and Acts: earthquakes; mass conversions; mass resurrections; trials before governors, kings and emperors; hours of worldwide darkness, etc.

Lee Strobel wasn’t an atheist, he was a lapsed Lutheran. He wrote The Case For Christ after being a pastor for 15 years.

He only interviewed Christians and used fraudulent archaeological evidence and continued to use it after he was confronted.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
