This is the number one thing that makes me wonder how Christians can be so adamant about defending their obviously false beliefs. I guarantee you none of them will actually read the information at your link.
They'll do the old "la la la I can't hear you" trick before they attempt to rationally refute it.

Jesus Christ is NOT a legend. He is very much alive today in each and everyone of us as he is still alive externally as well. We may not realize He's with us or understand Him ( not being sexist ), but Jesus Christ is the last 'so called Messiah' Earth will receive from the Father.
He was preceded by John the Baptist, his blood cousin, and many more we are unaware of nor would be familiar with.
However, said predecessors were obviously not successful, excluding John the Baptist. His was a totally different mission.
Adam and Eve for example ( yes, they were actually lived on this planet ) failed. That's another story.
Jesus Christ is not 'outranked' in the Grand Isle of Paradise by any entity.
If you want to be safe, happy, laugh, cry, feel real emotion(s) accept the faith needed to believe in Him. He could never harm you.
Just because you can't see or touch something doesn't make it unreal or unrealistic.

You guys amaze me.
There has been so much archaeological proof dug up in the last 50 years that proves the proof of the Bible, but yet you won't believe in it. Don't you think that if Satan and his demons can manipulate people as well as the physical world that they could influence someone to write that stuff just to throw some confusion into the mix? What are you going to believe? Archaeological finds that prove the Bible or whatever else you can find to keep from believing?
The Bible is also full of prophecy. A lot of this prophecy has come true! Another point for the validity of the Bible. If you would read the Bible, you would see that this is true. More prophecy is coming true right before our very eyes! It's amazing! There is very little prophecy left in the Bible to come true, and it all deals with end time events.
Jesus created this world. He came first before the other crucified savior myths. The historical and archaeological proof that proves the validity of the Bible speaks louder than the words on your website. Can you figure out who the author of that document is?
Here's a logical question...
If I believe in God, and I die, and it turns out that you are right, what have I lost? Nothing.
But if you don't believe in God, and you die, and it turns out that I am right, what have you lost? Everything.
If anyone is really interested in Bible Prophecy, go to the following website and take their free Bible Prophecy studies. They are FASCINTATING!

The Bible says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God." 2 Timothy 3:16. "Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:21. "The scripture cannot be broken." John 10:35.
The Bible says, "I am the Lord . . . new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them." Isaiah 42:8, 9. "I am God . . . Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done." Isaiah 46:9, 10.
Bible predictions of things to happen in the future confirm the inspiration of Scripture as they come to pass. Notice the following examples of fulfilled Bible prophecies:
A. Four world empires to arise: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8).
B. Cyrus to be the warrior to capture Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3).
C. After Babylon's destruction, it would never be inhabited again (Isaiah 13:19, 20; Jeremiah 51:37).
D. Egypt would never again have a commanding position among the nations (Ezekiel 29:14, 15; 30:12, 13).
E. Earth-shaking calamities and fear toward the end of time (Luke 21:25, 26).
F. Moral degeneracy and decline of spirituality in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
The Bible can and should be trusted because it has been tried and tested. I invite you to test it yourself too link below:

I wonder why you assume because the article is there and you read some of the stuff you have read that it is true and infallible. Likewise, by "believing" what you have read is right and factual, aren't you commiting the same fallacy that Christians and all other religious people are accused of? In fact that issue will probably be at the heart of this question. I know the historical evidence for the existence and crucifixion of Christ is not air-tight, but neither is the evidence to the contrary...... But don't you think all that is irrelevant? If you believe in Christ or any other God aren't you essentially placing your faith in something that is unprovable or disprovable? That is the essence of faith in my opinion. In fact if some sort of factual proof was required of every religion, not a single one of them would survive our scrutiny-monotheistic, polytheistic, even atheistic ones since no one has ever been able to prove the nonexistence of God. Faith is a leap every individual has to make on his/her own. Questions of faith are beyond and outside the realm of reason-at least for now. Says John in the new testament 20: 19-31 "..........blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe......."
I think you should let things be as they are in matters of faith: this is not the-earth-is-flat-no-it-is- round question. It essentially is a question of the unprovable.......Take care.

If you had really found "evidence" to debunk Christianity, then why would you be posting it on this forum for amateurs to rebut? Why not show it to an "expert" on Christianity, like a pastor of a large ministry or a Seminary Professor (I.E.: someone with a PhD in Christian Theology or Biblical Archeology) and get an opinion? Because you lack confidence in your so-called facts?
I've read this crap before. There is always a rebuttal to your rebuttal (see the links below for examples).
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 power, control or 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.).

The story of a virgin-born savior who was crucified to save humanity goes back as far as recorded history, in Egypt, China and elsewhere. There is no way at this point to know what the earliest story of this type was. It probably happened before such things could be recorded for preservation. If you are implying that these earlier instances invalidate the Christian story of a Christ, I think your reasoning may be too simplistic to be useful.

Jesus Christ is and always will be the Son of God, God himself made man, the living proof of the Holy Spirit. There is no denying that no matter how many websites you look on or how many people talk you into NOT believing that.
I am sorry for you and hope you find God.
Keep searching, He will be there for you.
And by the way, we ALL (Christians) can hear you, this is true but that does not mean that you are correct, or that anyone will agree.

i think of that it fairly is ordinary that a guy named Jesus did truthfully stay and grew to become into carried out on the pass on the grounds that's what the Romans did as a manner of executing people in those days, the matters come whilst the debate approximately him as being the son of a god, appearing miracles and returning lower back to existence after he grew to become into carried out, at the instant a guy claiming to be the son of a god may well be recognized as loopy, no one might have faith him without evidence, precisely because it grew to become into lower back then and there continues to be no evidence, that's the 21st century now and all of us comprehend lots on the subject of the formation of the planets and the origins of existence on earth that the myth of there being a god is thoroughly ludicrous, so subsequently, Jesus is probable not a myth however the memories linked with him are, forget approximately what's written in the Bible, that grew to become into not truthfully started till approximately 4 hundred years after the loss of existence of the guy pronounced as Jesus, so the memories in it are actually not something greater advantageous than that, memories, and your connection with King Arthur, the small print of Arthur's tale are specifically composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historic existence is debated and disputed via cutting-edge historians, so is greater myth than historic documented fact.

I believe you are right, Jesus is one of many who come to take souls home - rough quote 'I come not for the whole world, but for those sheep my father has sent me for' - I do not think that Jesus having some company diminishes his divinity at all - it seems clear that many 'Sons of God' have come and will continue to come - I believe that the world is never without such a Perfect Living Master because it seems quite silly to me to think that a long dead Master can be of much help to the living.
