Question

oh and i know i can't spell so get over it.

Answer 1

I assume you would agree that Jesus' resurrection certainly qualifies as one of His miracles?

Dr. Simon Greenleaf was a brilliant lawyer and one of the principle founders of Harvard Law School. He served there as a teaching professor for many years. Additionally, he wrote a "Treatise on the Law of Evidence," a classic book outlining permissible and impermissible evidence and testimony during criminal trials. Dr. Greenleaf's Treatise is still widely read and revered today.

Using the methods given within his "Treatise," Dr. Greenleaf set out to DISPROVE the Resurrection accounts. At the end of his intensive study, he concluded that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most accurately documented, believable events in ALL OF HISTORY. His resulting "Testimony of the Evangelists" can be read here:

The paper is long, but worth reading.

Answer 2

The best evidense would have been eyewitness evidense and it is recorded... interestingly even the enemies of Jesus admitted he did miracles and that wasnt an issue..but since you dont accept the Bible... it will give 4 extrabiblical proofs of the resurection miracle of Jesus

1 all the apostels held to the story till death

2 the romans made grave robbing a capital offense... seemed they were miffed by a missing body in Jerusalem? hmmm??

3 there is a great section on damage control in the Talmud, a gardener named Judas hears the disciples will steal the body, he moves it..see... thats why its missin... so in the end why the need for damage contorl

4 the viel of the temple was torn and the sun did go dark as a debate refered to in that day

misc Additionally Jesus predicted the fall of Jerusalem miraculaously and it occured 70ad

Answer 3

Yeah, I was diagnosed with an incurable disease and a nurse in the hospital prayed for me and I didnt really care at the time so I let her pray and then I got worse and I said "Big Deal". And then the doctors told me I would be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life, and my response was" What The **** " did I do to deserve that. And then I couldnt work and I had this buisness going for about five years and I had to sell it , then I couldnt even go to my full-time job and I couldn't pay the bills, and was gonna lose my house that I was working like an animal to have.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I just had met the most awesome women and was gonnna get married for the second time and things were just starting to take off for me, because when I was 15 I got into drugs and never really stoped and got into all kinds of stuff and my life from 15 went downhill and progressively worst, and at the age of 29 I had this gun purchased and couldn't take it anymore, and my first wife was so messed up she started stripping just to get money for dope.....and theres a lot more but the point is .................

Answer 4

Approximately eighteen non-Christian, extra biblical sources mention more than one hundred facts, beliefs, and teachings from the life of Christ. (You can find the list of sources in the book "Did Jesus Rise From The Dead? The Resurrection Debate" by Dr. Gary Habermas.

Pagan writers from the first and second century A.D. also provide proof that Jesus existed. Among them was Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman historian, who wrote of Jesus in his Annals. As well, Pliny the Younger, governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor, wrote to the emperor, Trajan, about Christians’ devotion to Christ. Importantly, none of these extra biblical sources disprove the historical facts which the gospel writers penned about Jesus.

There are more sources. A google search should

Answer 5

Many of the stories have been handed down from that time, natives of the regions discussed in the Bible know the stories without the Bible. Watch the History Channel and eventually you'll see the programming referring to your topic.

Answer 7

Hello crazyman_2.. :)

My daughter was in a car accident on 9/9/04..she suffered a severe brain injury, lacerated liver, eight broken ribs and a punctured lung..The doctors wanted me to remove my daughter from life support, they said she would be too severely brain damaged, (she was in a coma) so I should just let her go..I told them that Jesus would heal her..they just shook their heads..Three days later my daughter came out of her coma..her first words were, Praise the Lord..Thank-you Jesus..(she was not a believer in Christ before her car accident)..Kira needed surgery to repair her liver (it was cut in half) she went to have a ultrasound..the doctors came back and told me that she did not need surgery..that her liver was completely healed..the only way they could tell that they did not make a mistake, was that there was a scar to prove that it had indeed been cut in half..

Praise the Lord.. :) It took my daughter only 2 months of occupational therapy..to walk and talk again..

Had I listened to the doctors and not Jesus, I would not have my daughter with me today..she goes to church with me, she no longer does drugs..For Whom the Son hath set Free..Is Free Indeed.. :)

According to the doctors at Frisbee Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New Hampshire..she is a walking, talking Miracle of God.. :)

In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ..

Answer 10

Can't help you. If you don't believe, you don't believe. If you saw a miracle I think you would try to find a rational explanation. Many do this. They have no faith. I cannot give you faith. I have seen miracles. I have had miracles. But I don't think you would believe. Too bad...so sad.
