Why would you think it was some christ?
Why are you so dead-set for miracles happening?
Why do you assume a priori that those things can happen?
Is there any occasion in history where those things have happened? Beyond the shadow of a doubt? (pics or it didn't happen, remember?)
You are still asking questions which proves my point.
Why ask why?
Quote:If you were alive in Jesus' day, and you saw all that He was doing and saying and you saw Him raise a man from the grave that had been dead for three days you still seem to insinuate that you would be in doubt....No...I'd probably have no doubt that he was some extraordinary person...
Quote:Why would you be so reluctant to confess that Christ was indeed who He said He was?I wouldn't... but I'd still require some sort of backup of the event...10 witnesses, at least...and a "do it again, please".
Quote:What is the issue here? I really fail to see it.Maybe the problem lies in the fact that all we have of that time is a tale.
Maybe............it is because you just do not like the idea of Christ coming on the seen and making the claim that it is He who is Lord of All......
A tale written well after the fact and possibly written with some sort of agenda... it is then of little reliability.
But I thought we were talking about your ability to bring people back from the dead, not the alleged a ability of some guy who lived 2 thousand years ago... continuation of the ability through time, jumping from person to person...that would be great...but if Hollywood is anything to go by, then those people would rather hide, than help people live a bit longer, risking exposure to the public.
Quote:The Pharisees loved the honor of men. This prevented them from believing.Dude, I'm the most willing person you'll meet...but I'm not gullible and require something more than "there's this book..."
Now you know why I have been saying all along that there exists no type of evidence for the existence of God that cannot be explained away by them that are unwilling to believe.
I think I have proven my point. All I have to do is refer to your own posts to prove it.
And I'm fully aware of the possibility of brain trickery, so I'll always require independent confirmation...and the more the merrier.
And I find amazing the amount of people who fail to meet this simple requirement and end up sounding like delusional folk.
