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

[His_Majesty]

It's clear what he intended. He wanted to establish a historical Jesus in part one, which he failed to do. He then wanted to establish that the gospels were reliable sources in part two, which he failed to do, especially since this is impossible to do. Part three would have built on that to say that since the gospels are reliable accounts we should trust them when they talk of the resurrection.

Awww, aren't you a bright one?? First off, I could CARE LESS whether or not you people are convinced by the arguments..the point of me even joining this wonderful forum is not to get converts (although that would be fine), but to be able to answer objections to my faith, especially regarding something like the Resurrection which is admittedly difficult to prove due to the fact that the arguments that are given is based on historicity, which can be quite subjective.

The point of starting the thread was to sharpen my sword in this particular aspect of Christian apologetics...keeping the sword sharp...now whether or not you are convinced, I could care less, because it is obvious that you people don't give a shit about salvation OR Jesus Christ anyway.

Even if we had authentic letters from Pilate or ten more people that LIVED during the time and in that location that testified to Jesus, would you be a Christian then??? Can you honestly say that you would accept Jesus as Lord and Savior if that was the case? The probability of that happening is on the low scale, huh.

So it isn't about "compelling" evidence...it is about our jobs...my job is to present to you the best evidence for my case, and your job is to object to that case...plain and simple, and if that is the way it has to be, then let it be.

But we are all responsible for our own eternal destiny, and the eternal afterlife destination that each of us will have is a lot longer than the finite amount of time we lived on earth denying the existence of God.

think about that.

As he has failed to provide compelling evidence of part one, and made no attempt at part two, I think that the matter should be closed out and this thread devoted to pictures of kittens.

I think the matter should continue, which will allow for more intellectual spankings of both you, and your counterparts on here.
