You would think that the gods word would be so important that it would NOT want to risk any human getting it wrong - and yet there is NOT a single writing by the christ at all - ever.
I guess you would be a really good God because you know just what he should and shouldn't do.
Quote:Among the things missing - in fact - is that there is not a single writing from the supposed time of the christ - known to Multitudes - speaking to huge crowds - and known to even the highest leaders - having actually raised a rotting corpse from the dead - and all the other incredible claims - YET - this was the GOLDEN AGE OF ROME - the most documented Roman Time where we have MILLIONS of inscriptions, documents, and buildings and items - including the results of the annual Roman Turtle race (I guess turtles rate higher than the god of an obscure TINY population of cave dweller from Israel).
Those writings were about the ROMANS. They couldn't care less about some dirt poor rabbi wondering around Judea and Galilee. Pilate didn't even believe in him.
Quote:And why is there NO documentation of the splendors of Jerusalem - supposedly a huge town made of gold. Because much like many stories in the bible - this was not true.
The streets of gold are in the new Jerusalem after the end of the world. It's also most likely symbolic language anyway.
Quote:There are those that insist that the christ was a real person - could not be.
Real people leave evidence behind - and gods NEVER do -= because things that do not exist do not leave evidence
Then why do an overwhelming majority of respected historians agree that Jesus did actually exist at that point in history? Should we accept their opinion or yours?
