Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul, Thomas, Bartholemew, Phillip, Peter, Jude, EVERY single one of the 11 apostles except John, Stephen, Mattias, and countless others were cruelly tortured, murdered, and persecuted for their faith in Jesus. Why would the eye-witnesses like Mark, Luke, and all the apostles except John die for a lie? If you believe that Matthew just made up his Gospel, why did he bother dying for it? Same with Luke, Mark, Paul, Peter, etc etc.
John was thrown into a pot of boiling oil but he came out unscathed because of miracle.
What would the point be? They could have easily denied it all if it was a lie!? What was the point of their deaths if it was all a "lie?"
I don't think J.K. Rowling would gladly die for her books on Harry Potter. C.P. wouldn't die for Eragon. J.R.R. Tolkien wouldn't die for Lord of the Rings. Why would the apostles die for their Gospels on Jesus?
Thanks ahead of time, please give honest intelligent answers.
