If you lived in Jesus' day, how would you of responded?

[Revelation777]

His apostles believed in him so much that they gave up their lives. Over 500 witnessed Him post resurrection.

Yep, that certainly is written down in a single book, the sole purpose of which is to get you to believe that this happened and worship Jesus. That's where that was written down.

And nowhere else.

Are there not things written down in History books and Science books that you have never seen but you believe it? What if the people who wrote those books made it all up?

I don't need empirical evidence that He existed when I know how he changed my life and many others.

Attributing an idea to your life changing experience does not make the idea real. People daily change their lives for the better in secular ways, but they are not ignorantly attributing the constructs which changed them to deific hogwash.

I guess it would be a personal experience that can't be understood unless another experienced the same event and process.

I believe He rose and so do many others. I believe Jesus is who He said He is.

I believe Harry Potter is who he says he is (and that he is who other people say he is). Does that make Harry Potter real?

His apostles believed in him so much that they gave up their lives.

Who would die for a lie? Well, lots of people. For lots of reasons.

Over 500 witnessed Him post resurrection.

Over 500 people witnessed Harry defeating Voldemort in the Great Hall at Hogwarts castle in June of 1997.

Appealing to the number of witnesses doesn't make a thing true.

Maybe that is why Jesus said, blessed are those who believe and have not seen.

If you lived in Odin's day, how would you have responded?

Jesus judgement of the wicked comes in the future. There is still time for the wicked to repent as in Noah's day. They scorned him too until the flood came than it wasn't that funny.

After seeing Jesus turn water into wine, I would ask him what other drugs he can conjure up.

Don't put the Lord God to the test. He has done far greater miracles than that.

Revs: the claim that Jesus rose from his grave is just that, a claim.

There are many other god figures who supposedly also rose from the grave.

Plus several vampires and voodoo zombies.

Quite an impact Jesus made,,,don't see many others who turned the world upside down with their life.

Not that you believe, but let's just say that you lived and witness Jesus as He is described in Scripture. Out of curiosity, you listened to Him speak, you saw him heal, you witnessed the miracles, etc. How would you of reacted?

I'd probably ask Jesus to do something worthwhile with his time, like solving world hunger or eliminating all disease, since you know, all it would take for him is a thought and a prayer.

I could be the best debater in the world and convince no one, but a hard heart will likely reject the truth of Jesus Christ.
