To all the Atheist that just admitted they believe Jesus lived, but was not the Christ?

Question

Where exactly did you learn of this plain and simple ungodly man named Jesus that over 25 of you just said you believed in? Was it word of mouth? Did you see his birth and or death certificate? Or are you believing in blind faith he existed? How can you PROVE he existed? Where is the scientific documentation?

Oh, and did you actually SEE this proof, or did you just hear about it from someone?

I AM A CHRISTIAN
To those of you who are confused, I asked a question to the atheist a few minutes ago and asked them why they thought Jesus had been married, when they didn't beleive he existed. Well, many Atheist said they believed Jesus existed, but that he was NOT CHRIST. I just wonder how they can believe he exist, if they don't have Physical proof...(as to their reason to not believe in a God).

Answer 1

LOL. I saw your last question and I was wondering if there wasn't going to be a part 2. Funny how quite the Atheist who huffed and puffed to your last question are Now.

I especially liked the 2nd answerer..."Historical evidence" points that an unnamed man fitting the description of Jesus once existed...sounds like blind faith to me!

I'm waiting for the people who will talk about the Roman records of Jesus death...that's always a biggie with the Atheist...Funny, no one has ever seen these records...again blind faith.

Answer 2

Belief requires a leap of faith. That is defined by religious leaders and theologians alike as a decision by a person to bridge the gap between the natural world which is knowable through scientific study, to accepting the unproven existance of a supernatural realm which is not empirically testable or provable and is forever mysterious and beyond the reach of the tools of our ability to examine except through the alleged "divine" revelations of prophetic lunatics.
Perhaps it is a failure of our educational system to properly impart the knowledge unto people as to what certain words mean in a denotative manner. The "Atheists" who profess a belief in the existance of a Jesus of Nazareth are probably either speaking poorly or have been translated by you poorly in this message. Atheists do not "believe" in anything. They have knowledge that is based upon a scientific and methodical understanding of the forces of nature. They do not believe that he existed, they have made a rational determination based upon a preponderance of evidence that it is more likely than not that he existed. Should sufficient evidence suggest otherwise and be sufficient in their minds to outweigh this prior conclusion, then they will likely come to a new and different understanding. Knowledge is the key here.

Answer 3

It is quite plausible that Jesus of Nazareth existed. We have scant historial evidences that he existed. What's written by Josephus (who did not believe that Jesus was the messiah) was edited by later christians to claim that Jesus was the messiah, the christ.

I don't doubt that Jesus existed. But it was some guy who never knew or met him that deified Jesus. The concept of God incarnated as human being is completely alien to Judaism, and Gospel of Mark, the earliest gospel, doen't say anything about the deity of Jesus. (The last part of that gospel was written by some nutcase later on.)

Did Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies? No. Those OT verses that are attributed to Jesus have nothing to do with Jesus at all. It was Matthew, a conman, who attributed those OT verses to Jesus, to convince that Jesus was the Jewish messiah.

Answer 4

Why worry you so much about the statement of the atheists against Christ?
I don't think any opinions of man can affect Christ and the world.
Perhaps, we should not be too nervous about the saying of man, but we better apply the most important commandment of Christ concerning love to build a better world for the present and for future generations of the blessed human race.

Answer 5

I cannot prove He existed and you can not prove He did not. I am NOT an athiest. I believe Jesus did exist and IS the saviour. I would not waste my time trying to convince you or any like you that He did exist. Where is the scientific documentation that He did not exist?

Answer 6

I used to be a christian for 16 years. I was taught of the existence of jesus the same ways all christians are.

I can't prove he existed, and I don't care. His life and death are inconsequential to my existence.

However, that an etnire religion can be built around a man who never existed, although possible, is very unlikely.

Answer 7

thank you! that is quite not confusing to have faith that Jesus existed. people who deny it see the information they have merely set their minds against believing it. There are greater-biblical texts (texts exterior the Bible) that still make particular what's written in scripture. Josephus became a needed Jewish historian of the 1st century. He became a clergyman, a pharisee, and fairly egotistical. maximum critically he became not A CHRISTIAN. look into his books "The Antiquities" and the "Testimonium Flavianum". In Josephus' e book "The Antiquities" you will locate that he describes how a severe priest named Ananias took earnings of the loss of life of the Roman governor Festus-who's additionally suggested interior the NT- with the intention to have James killed. This paintings became carried out in A.D. ninety 3 that's approximately sixty 3 years from the time of Jesus' ascension, that's considered very early and to that end good. He says, "He convened a gathering of the Sanhedrin and extra formerly them a guy named James, the brother of Jesus, who became stated as the Christ, and particular others. He accused them of having transgressed the regulation and introduced them as much as be stoned." The Testimonim Flavianum says this," approximately this time there lived Jesus, a clever guy, if certainly one ought to call him a guy. For he became individual who wrought dazzling feats and became a instructor of such human beings as settle for the reality gladly. He gained over many Jews and fairly a number of the Greeks. He became the Christ. while Pilate, upon listening to him accused by ability of adult males of the optimum status between us, had condemned him to be crucified, people who had interior the 1st place come to love him did not provide up their affection for him. on the 0.33 day he looked as though it would them restored to life, for the prophets of God had prophesied those and countless different ideas-blowing issues approximately him. And the tribe of Christians, so stated as after him, has nevertheless to on the present time not disappeared." those references from Josephus are pretty significant exceedingly considering that his money owed of the Jewish conflict have proved to be very precise. additionally look at authors like Tacitus, Pliny the greater youthful, Thallus (quoted by ability of Julius Africanus), and the Talmud. all of them wrote approximately Jesus.

Answer 8

Jesus could have, or might not have existed. The same is with King Author. But sometimes they past is truth interlaced with rumors, and sometimes it is just plain myth.

Answer 9

Jesus was just a man, proving he existed doesn't prove he was the son of God.

Answer 10

because i think that there is a grain of truth in the bible. like hercules..i think that there actually an exceptionally strong man...just not the way the stories portray him. i think that king arthur exists, but once again not the way the stories portray him. can i prove it? no. but i am perfectly happy to leave that part to historians and archeologists.
