I am happy that you guys are very passionately involved in this thread. You are all cool! A whatever answer is better than no answer. I strongly encourage you to do your own research on this.
I was one of those who did not want to have anything to do with Christ but one day He changed my heart. That's it.
If you want a scientific, palpable proof of His ressurection, you can find it on your own. I am not going to get into polemics about it. I found the evidence for myself and I am at peace with it. You owe it to yourself to find it too because once you do, it is going to have a profound impact on your heart. I hope you are up to this challenge.

Thanks for the lecture - I'm amused.

Good for you. Whatever floats your boat.
I have already researched and found what I believe in and while I think Christ was a good doobie I do not think he was divine or would approve of 98% of what the Christian churches do in his name. It always seemed to me that Christ and I agreed...faith and believe are personal and should not be organized into a church but left to the individual.
If you do not agree then you might be wrong, or you could be right, but either way have a good one and keep on trucking.
Ameri-girls:: If someone told you right now that someone floated up into the sky you would assume it was a trick so why would people say it is a concrete fact from stories thousands of years old?
They also said the Nile was red with blood when in actuality it was the red clay of the area....where do I seperate the metaphor from the fact?

Well thought out message. Bravo.
I agree with everything you wrote.
Invincible...please note that over 500 people saw Jesus disappear into the clouds when he left the earth AFTER His resurrection. Josephas was a historian at that time. You should check out his writings. Or are you not going to believe him either? Do you believe Alexander the Great or Plato existed? You have no proof except what was written by historians. Think about it.

You are confused about the nature of proof, research, and evidence. You are also confused about where you stand in terms of understanding this: those of us who have thought more about it, and looked at it carefully are those of us who have concluded that there is no evidence for a god. Now, some of those people may have chosen to believe simply on the basis of faith, but it's clear that most believers here - yourself included - lack the faith to accept that there is no evidence for a god.
In other words, we're way out in front of you on this one.

I believe you are correct, but you should think about sharing other evidences with non believers, because this web site can be used for others to find truth(in some cases). Peace.

Science and religion don't mix.
If you want to *believe* in Christianism, by all means do so, but there's no veryfiable, empirical evidence or proof that certifies the truth of any religion. No religion or belief system holds the absolute truth, because this is inherently unknowable.

What's the big deal about the crucifixion?
Many have died much more painful deaths for much less. Consider the Middle Ages tortures.
I really don't see what could be so powerful about a single man volunteering to be nailed up, when thousands across America commit suicide just because they don't want to live.
And the resurrection? Well, ever heard of ghosts?

You know I've got to tell you, that even people of different religions..paganism..some Buddhists..so on and so forth, there are always those people who believe in god and Jesus..I've always believed that you don't need to be christian to believe in god, and i certainly don't believe god is evil..and only wants you to believe in him, like my Sunday school taught me..i believe in a loving fair god..who wants you to keep faith in your heart, and be good to yourself and others..i think keeping that in mind is far more important than anything else you do.

Very well said, but would you still be willing to share some of the research you conducted? You never know, it may help someone else in their search for answers.
Blessings to you.

blah blah blah. I know where Jesus is. He's at the prison where I work, the new inmates are always finding him, and didn't even know he was lost.
If you want to change peoples minds you should share what you know, the cryptic bit isn;t too encouraging, Sherlock.

That's cool. I found in my heart that I thoroughly disagree with you, but I don't see the need for all of us believing/disbelieving the same.
