MA81- you can't even demonstrate that Christ actually existed, let alone that he suffered or lived a sinless life. How are we supposed to take you seriously? How are we supposed to believe anything you say?
You aren't supposed to. It is not even within your power. Faith in Jesus Christ comes only as a gift from God:
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.…
Yet, there is plenty of historical evidence that Christ existed and was crucified. Most scholars agree on this, if I'm not mistaken. The big questions are A) Was He God in the flesh and B) Did he actually rise from the dead/do all the miracles He is reported to have done?
Those things will never be proven, so there is no point in holding your breath.
(bold mine)
No there isn't. But that's not what this thread is about, so I won't further derail it.
And don't worry. I won't be holding my breath.
