Is this a battle of the gods?

Allah vs God vs Zeus?

Winner take all?

how does this go down?

I guess my answer would have to be settled in the ring but honestly my money is on Thor dude is bad ass.

But in all honesty because no historical data supports jesus.

More interestingly common sense. Tell you what, if a dude walked on water or raised the dead today, I promise you that would be WORLD WIDE within hours, non-believers would believe and people be writing all this down, documentation from here to china.

But there is no documentation outside the bible that isn't fake.

There are historical records of Jesus and his crucifixion outside of Biblical references.

It's very easy to find, try google or Wikipedia. Here I've done a search for you.

Historical Jesus Stuff

Don't always take what you read to be absolute truth, research a bit more. Equally do not go into anything with your mind made up and looks for ways to justify that, keep an open mind and be prepared to adjust your point of view, you will be a more balanced Buddhist for it.

The fact that you referenced wikipedia terrifies me. In that "source" alone it referenced bible verses. Besides Anyone can make a page there and call it fact. Truth is there really isnt any historical records of a "jesus"

in fact let me show you WHO these people are referencing

1. "Amy-Jill Levine is E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studie"

2. "L. Scott Kellum, Ph. D. Associate Professor of New Testament and Greek
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary"

3. jesus Remembered by James D. G. Dunn 2003: James D. G. "Jimmy" Dunn is a leading British New Testament scholar

4. William R. Herzog II is widely respected for his Biblical scholarship

5. Craig Alan Evans is an evangelical New Testament scholar and author

6. Markus Bockmuehl is Professor of Biblical and Early Christian Studies at Keble College

7. Bart D. Ehrman is an American New Testament scholar

8. Bruce Chilton is a scholar of early Christianity and Judaism, now Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Religion at Bard College


Seems to me like if you go through the "sources" they all seem pretty bias, I am amazed ken ham was not cited.

But I am sure if you asked Ken Ham if jesus existed he would say yes.

I tend to look outside the bible, and get my answers from non biblical sources.

I saw a few non-christians in there who had a strong leaning towards religion but did not have time to cite all 136.

But after reading them most of them are christian based, and well we know how "solid" that can be Wink
