Christians argue that in the Old Testament , the prophet Isaiah predicts the coming of Jesus, before the myths and legends of these other Gods (and you have to look at the historical reliability of the bible). Most myths talk of Gods having sex which is not a virgin birth...Jesus actually existed.
Following on, evidence outside the Bible? Look at the works of Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius...Not trying to bebate with you, just telling you the facts...
pretty fuckn close ... http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcpa5b.htm
just for example if I had a character beat by a whip and you came along and changed the story to beat by a baseball bat would that all of a sudden be original .. I think not
Flavius? seriously Now I KNOW you have done NO homework either that or dont know what contemporary evedence is ..... none of those who you have mentioned could have been contemporary, flavius Josephus is the closest but even if BORN with quill in hand could not have been contemporary....... Pliny 61CE, Flavius 37CE, Tacticus 56CE, Saetonius 70CE. Besides the Josephus manuscripts where it mentions Jesus has been demonstrated to be a 2nd century forgery... Even if it wasnt, Flavious also mentions Herculies (multiple times)in other parts of his writings so is Herculies now real too?
Just to be clear.. Contemporary something of the time this would have to be written by someone who atleast had a chance to meet the guy or be present DURING his life not after.... all you have is hearsay
Did I make a good point? thumbs up I cant help it I'm a Kudos whore. P.S. Jesus is a MYTH.
