Topic	How do you refute the historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus
Saloonist 05/01/17 12:13:04 PM #153:	DawkinsNumber4 posted... Saloonist posted... If you are going to continue peddling in sensationalism and fabulous theories I suggest you provide some evidence. Wow, really? Linking to a Sikh website, a Muslim book, and a documentary is not evidence. They have nothing to add to the discussion based on the merits of the historical sources that we have besides rampant speculation. There is no evidence that Jesus survived the crucifixion, but many sources of evidence that he died under Pontius Pilate. And there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of Paul or the historical narratives of the Gospels. They are consistent with what we know about crucifixion during that time period, and are reinforced by the later non-Christian sources that confirm the crucifixion. There is literally no reason to be surprised that the earliest writers about Christ were Christians. Imagine for a second that the Gospels didn't exist, yet Tacitus still wrote about Jesus' execution in the 30s AD. On this basis alone, no one would dispute Tacitus because it is not uncommon to write about an event decades afterwards. Yet you are only disputing the reliability of Tacitus now, because you are biased against Christians. --- BasileosPetros, KhanofKhans, CokeZero, and many more <cite>Saloonist posted [p:878260830] in How do you...
