The only thing that might have occured is that a man named Jesus, was crucified, as that was the typical execution style back during that time period. But, we don't know WHY. That is all hearsay. Jesus' birth, life and death...all hearsay. You can CHOOSE to believe this, but, that doesn't make it credible.
You believe something...incredible. Incredible, lacking proof that it happened. That is ok, but you should admit that, because we will just go round and round, you trying to prove God's existence and Jesus' life and death, and the two being One...using the Bible. And I will insist that the Bible isn't credible proof because of ....
Surely, you have to see the problem (by now) with trying to apply logic to your faith beliefs.
My faith is grounded in the historical Jesus of Nazareth who is called the Christ. I have evidence to support the truth claims I make regarding His existence, death, burial, and resurrection.
OTHER THAN the Bible, what is your proof? The Bible isn't a history text book.
I won't even get into why can't we use the Qur'an as a credible source for religious history? Jesus is not considered the Savior in that book.
Yet, Islam is a growing progressive faith, just like Christianity.
Do you see the problem in believing in hearsay? Islam is built on hearsay too. IT'S ALL HEARSAY, my brutha. :p
