You can not prove that man would rediscover E=mc2. Science could go down a different road.

There's an interesting viewpoint. But the forces of the universe are not likely to change substantially, and these things can be observed on a dailiy basis. It is not unreasonable to expect that things like equations for the circumference of a circle, F=ma would be picked up eventually.

Christianity has no such thing which is evident through observation, and without propagation would die.

So he would do so again if everyone forgot about it then. Seems like if you want to prove the existence of God, you need to stop talking about him. Smile

Many of them did actually. Resurrection is very common to many of the resume of these dead Gods. It didn't save their faith.

Like I said, many of these dead gods pulled the same trick.
Baal, Melqart, Adonis, Eshmun, Attis, Inanna, Tammuz, Asclepius, Orpheus, Ishtar, Ra, Osiris, Zalmoxis, Dionysus, Odin and of course, your Jesus.

Resurrection is nothing new, and they were "with their followers" for hundreds or thousands of years thereafter. There's nothing special about Jesus in this respect.

Each and every one of these deities, were believed in as completely and wholly as you do in Yahweh.
My faith is eternal, because my God is eternal, He hears His name called out and praised, He is worshiped and loved. By the way those other gods could not be older than the God who is the Alpha and the Omega.

You won't have been the first person to say something like that. That person would not have been Christian, and he was convinced his faith would be eternal.

Time had other ideas, as it will do for yours. There is nothing inherently special about your faith that hasn't been done before, and for longer.

True salvation, eternal life with God for those who choose to believe, true justice for all in the end, simple really.

Yeah... the dead gods said that too.. yet the halls of Valhalla are empty now.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
