Sorry, but historically, it's better than even money that a person named 'Jesus' really did exist...based on the records of the Roman Empire..

The debate going on currently is whether there are eyewitnesses of his life and actions, as was proposed by Maria.

She still hasn't provided any though. There is a very small amount of evidence from the Romans, and none of it comes from the proposed lifetime, the earliest was written in the 2nd century I believe.

And that will never be done to your satisfaction because... if an eyewitness account is presented, you simply reject it for any reason you choose. You have still not explained why you reject Johns eye-witness account which was written personally by him. But you do. Why don't you explain that?

When I come back online (ie tomorrow as we're celebrating our anniversary tonight and we're going back to the same restaurant we 1st met)....I'm going to ask you a few questions about the Gospel of John.

Have fun!

I'm a bit busy myself this weekend, but sure, I'll play along.

edit: and no, not now nor ever was I catholic

I see! Well in that case, I'm very interested in what you have to say.

Very interested indeed.

Hmmmm.....you've got me wondering now.

In my opinion..I don't think he's read it from start to finish.

Not to worry, I've left him some homework lol.

Stratos has to read the Gospel of John from start to finish.

When I return...I will run a few questions by him.

I can hardly wait lol.

So why is this child abuse acceptable?

Is it child abuse and acceptable teaching children that two mails can Fuke each other and get certificate for this?.

Do we need to be always politically correct.
In the world of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

And I repeat the fact that professional historians do not agree with you.

Most historians think Jesus existed, but that isn't your claim. Your claim was that there are lots of eyewitness accounts, which is 100% wrong.

The section YOU linked from Luke demonstrates that it in fact only claiming to be a third hand account.

Read your Bible and stop breaking the ninth commandment.

And that is your problem. Unless something can be proven to YOUR satisfaction, you declare it 100% wrong. Mark's Gospel was apparently written using Peter as the source - an Eye Witness. Johns Gospel was written by... john the disciple, an eye witness.

You demand a standard of proof that is impossible for historical documents. Luke was writing on behalf of other eye-witnesses and says as much.

I defy you to prove the existence of any BC era figure using your methodology.

And again, historians don't have the problem you do.

Most historians believe the Gospels were not written by eyewitnesses.

What a load of $hit.

And that is indeed $h1t.

Most historians agree that John was indeed an eye witness.

So bugger off Mothball.

No. They don;t. Most think it was written 80-95AD.

Bit late for an eyewitness dont't you think?

Incorrect, I take it you has a sherry or two today grandma. Grin

I totally agree.

It should be a criminal offence for adults to teach impressionable children that those parts of the bible which deal in fantasy are true.

Social ethics, values, and morality are something quite distinct from religious belief. The one does not inextricably depend upon the other as those with an emotional or political investment in religion would have you believe.

In fact religion's main purpose has always been to give certain people authority and power over other people. The priesthood was the very first profession - not prostitution as many would have you believe.

I do note that you have not yet attempted to support the existence of any ancient person using your standards of evidence. It says a lot - most of rather sad about you.

Aw, more lies? Shame you can't even follow your own commandments.

Look back, I used the same criteria on Pontius Pilate. mariacostel wrote on Nov 6^th, 2015 at 4:53pm:

You have still not explained why you reject Johns eye-witness account which was written personally by him.

Because it is anonymous. Could have been written by literally anybody. Find me a conclusive author and you may very well have an eyewitness account, although seeing as it is generally agreed to having been written around 100AD this would likely raise further questions.

It works the other way around. It's for the christians to prove their mythology. Until then, it's child abuse.

It works the other way around. It's for the christians to prove their mythology. Until then, it's child abuse.

No its not its up to you to prove your ignorance is reality, which you cannot.

Your claim is based on your own ignorance. One of basics of the bible, jesus, can not even be proven that he existed. If this can't be proven then it shows the book for it's mythologic and not factual value.
