Well, Jesus returned from the dead and appeared to over 500 witnesses (according to Paul) to show that he was alive again.

I don't know if this answers your question or not, but one of the main reasons that I believe in Christianity is that the people who knew Jesus were willing to be tortured to death rather than change their story that they saw Jesus return from the dead.

If the apostles were lying about seeing the resurrected Christ, then why didn't they take back their story when they were individually being tortured to death? Every one of the apostles (Except John, who died a natural death in exile on Patmos), were killed for their faith. Wouldn't a liar recant this story to save his own life?

What did the apostles have to gain by making it all up? What good does fame do for a dead person?

I accept the apostles' story because the witnesses were creditable.

PS: Yes, I have heard the crack about suicide bombers, but the main difference between the modern bombers & the apostles are: (1) the bombers did not see Mommand personally, so they are not eye-witnesses to anything (Unlike Peter, & Paul, who claimed to see Jesus alive with their own eyes and then died rather than take it back); and, (2) the bombers are killing innocent people (others) for their faith, not suffering for it (I assume that blowing yourself up is quick & painless compared with being crucified.).

Of course there is life after death. The concrete proof is that life after death is so absolutely fantastic, that not a single person in all of history, has ever wanted to come back. Not even for a minute. What more proof do you need?

The closest thing 'concrete' proof is accounts of near death experiences (NDE's). You could also read a book by Michael Newton, PhD, called Journey of Souls. He is a hypnotherapist who does past life regression and discovered a method for regressing people into in between lives to describe the 'afterlife'. However, if you are a skeptic it will probably just seem like new-age psychobabble. I believe it -- but I supposed it's not for everyone. The best thing you can do is research NDEs I guess!

There is no evidence for life after death, let alone "concrete proof". It's a fairly safe bet that there is no life after death - that when your brain activity stops, you're done.

There is no concrete proof. There's something called Faith, the belief of something so strong, you know it's true without seeing proof of it.

Concrete proof? Are you serious? Haven't you ever heard of reincarnation?

Yes there is life after death...

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).

For scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm

For evidence for the historicity and truth of Jesus Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/jesus.htm

Cordially,
John

Not yet. Mary said to Jesus I know he will raise in the last day.
During judgement day the dead will rise. And be judged by what they do then. During the 1000 year rein of Christ.
