What Is The Point Of Prayer?

[Sword of Christ]

Jesus certainly existed there's no real academic doubt over that. He may have different than the gospels portrayed but we certainly have his real words and teachings for the most part. A little bit may have been embellished. The first writings we have only date to around 20 years after his death there wasn't enough time to form an elaborate folk myth like King Arthur. We talking about a 1st century Jewish Rabbi and healer who spoke with the authority of God and forgave sins and was put to death for blasphemy. There are non-Biblical accounts written by Roman historians who substantiate this point. If there was no evidence that Jesus had ever existed at all this is something they at the time would have been keen to point out. They even attempt to give an explanation of his power as black magic learned from Egypt.
