Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

[Randy Carson]

If you have ancient texts that you wish for us to consider in rebuttal to the gospels, kaninchen, by all means let us know.

When you eventually get around to establishing them as being worthy of anybody being bothered, Randy, you'll be the first person I'll tell.

See how she works, folks?

She hasn't got anything...if she did, she would post it and silence me in a moment. But she wants to give the appearance of having some knowledge that would provide a refutation of the Christian argument. The problem is, in eight years at CAF, she hasn't produced it, and she won't here, either.

I've argued with lots of Orthodox and Protestants over the years, and almost without exception, they have offered evidence from scripture or from the Early Church Fathers or even from the Church Councils in support of their positions. Kaninchen will not offer anything like that.

So, even though, arguably, all of you atheists would benefit from hearing Kaninchen's brilliant response to the arguments for the resurrection and divinity of Jesus, none of you will ever hear it. Because no such response exists.

Ironically, she calls me a used car salesman, but when you get down to it, she's the one trying to get you to buy into the idea that she knows what she's talking about without ever showing you any evidence that the car she wants you to buy even exists. It's vaporware...the promise of an argument that she cannot deliver. But she's peddling it, nonetheless.

How 'bout them apples, K?

The Jews of the first and second century did not deny the crucifixion of Jesus, so we'd all love to see what you have to show us.

Come on, Randy, we've been there, done that.  Remember 'Silver Blaze'?

What did the Jewish people do?  Carried on being Jewish and getting into suicidal wars with the Romans while, having failed to convince us, the early Christians developed sales scripts for the more gullible.[/quote]

More correctly, the Christians continued preaching and converting Jews and gentiles alike until the Roman Empire itself became Christian and Judaism was relegated to a footnote in history.

But don't worry, K. You're still God's chosen people, and he has big plans for you. I daresay that the Iranian nuke deal foolishly agreed to by our idiot president will move things toward a climatic finish sooner rather than later.
