MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Mudhammam]

Paul met Peter, huh?

He sure did.

He says he met Cephas, a prominent member of the Jerusalem church, distinguished from "The Twelve" in his first letter to the church in Corinth and only mythologized in the Gospels and Acts later on. So, we know little about Cephas and his supposed relationship to "Lord Yahweh Saves Christ Lamb slain from the foundation of the world of Bethlehem and Nazareth, Nazarene son of Man, God, Joseph, and the Virgin Mary."

How would you know about that?

How do we know anything in history?

A multitude of reputable sources with varying interests AND disinterests and archaeology. How's Christianity do there? Not good.

Yes, the emperor and the local governor... both well placed hints to lend credence to the story... but does that make the story true?

It makes the story believable.

You're not very familiar with ancient literature, are you?

Says Paul.... do you have accounts from other people claiming to have spoken with Paul?

Do you have statements from George Washington listing the names of all of the people that spoke to him? No, you don't...so based on your shitty logic, everyone that claims to have met George Washington and spoke with him...if GW didn't name them in a list of names that he jotted down throughout his life, those people did not speak to him

That kind of shitty logic works both ways.

That was a genuine comparison or an inadvertent example of how little data you have to base your entire life on the God-man-Son of God-spirit-Father versus the first President of the United States whose writings we have first hand including his contemporary friends and critics?
