Re: Analogy

Nahh a good troll at least sounds intelligent and informed and is capable of giving plausible sounding arguments. Where as chico's are basically "because the bible says so" or "go to GCSE religious studies"

Re: Oh dear

Chico,

You should try reading what people write

I think a person called Jesus (or Joshua or Jeshu) did exist

When it comes to the historical evidence for his existence, primary evidence is thin on the ground. Yes there are references to Jesus, but on closer inspection they are all secondary sources. Not to be ignored, certainly, but inevitably coloured by the authors opinion of the original subject. Josephus wrote in 94AD, some 60 years after the events, and based his passage on things that he had heard, not what he had experienced, Tacitus wrote in 112 AD, again repeating things that he had heard. Josephus is important , certainly, as he seems to be the ONLY non-biblical mention of Jesus in the first century and he wasn't born until 37 AD, after the event. Some scholars also believe that his account has been tampered with by later writers, to add details of the Resurrection.
