Why do you say it's a myth. Either Jesus was the greatest liar who ever lived or he is what he says...the son of God. You read and/or see one thing and say yes that is the truth. That must be the truth. Yet you read and see another thing and say no that is a lie. How do you decipher the truth? How do you determine what is fact and what is fiction. How do you know North is North and South is South. Just because someone told you. The Gospel is foolishness to the wise. which is why you cannot understand the truth and why you accept lies.
As I said either Jesus is what he said..'The Son of God' or.. he was the greatest liar who has ever walked the earth.
If what Christians say isn't true then when they die they have lost nothing, they can't look like fools because they are dead and presuming you're right there is nothing so who cares.
However,........if they are right and Jesus is the Son of God then when you die you have lost everything and will look like a fool for all eternity.
Me thinks some more thooght on your part is required.
I add this in view of your reply to one of my questions by which you reposnd to this reply implying I am a gullible fool....
There is also the Historical Proof that Jesus walked the earth. There are numerous historicals who report on Jesus and the miracles he performed other than the thos written by the Jew/ Palenstinians. There are those written by the Romans, Greeks etc. Oh and in answer to your Brainwashing letter you sent me. There is no claim of Buddha, Mohammad etc being traised from the dead. Why? Because they were not the son/s of God.
So I go back to my original statement, either Jesus was the greatest Liar whoever walked the earth or he was what he said he was..........the Son of God.
Now if I am wrong then I have lost nothing. However, if you are wrong you have lost everything. So who dude, is the biggest dope????
Mmmmmmmm worth some more thought on your part me-thinks. I pray the Holy Spirit would enlighten and unlock your captive mind and bring you into real freedom.

God Bless you. Jesus is not a myth. He is real. How can you make such an outrageous declaration. There will be a day that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. How can you believe information that, by its' own admission was 'stolen(look at the top of your website page)? I will be praying for you. All that proved is that someone is trying to duplicate Jesus. There are many that try to imitate. But they cannot duplicate Jesus. May God Bless.

I as a "Christen", I am not in "denial" because everything in the bible science can, or will prove, except for miracles, like Jesus being born of a virgin. In fact the bible says that "sin" is transmitted by the seed of the man/ father.
That is how an imperfect woman like Marry could have a prefect baby like Jesus.
You dare us "Christens" to watch a movie, Then I dare you to read the book of Matthew, John, and Revelation out of our bible.

It's fairly easy to do.
First: grow up with people telling you that if you don't accept this loving god, he will send you lovingly to hell.
Second. Take to heart all of the admonitions that anything that contradicts what you are told from the pulpit is from the devil.
Third. Become blinded to any evidence that what you believe may be a story that has been told many times before.
Fourth. Understand that anybody who believes differently from you is evil and from the devil.
Fifth, look down on anyone who believes different from you as poor doomed souls.
Sixth. Recognize that the only relationship you can have with those who believe differently is one in which you are a witness, a tutor of Christ, trying desperately to save these poor bastard children of Satan.
I think that's about it.

When I stay close to Jesus (the "myth" as you call it) I have such a tremendous peace and joy in my life that it just keeps me hanging in there. And the myth is that if I hang in there until He returns I will have eternal life with joy and peace forever. Even if I am deceived, it has been a wonderful life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is an immutable fact of history. It can be proved using the science of forensic evidence. Read the Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. There are many others, but that a good start. Study.

Read it, saw them. Neither proved Jesus didn't exist as indicated in the Bible.
Any others?
PS, alot of things have been "plagiarized" over the years. Problem is, something had to be true, at some point, to be plagiarized.

You seem very gullible. Why would many men of different backgrounds and intelligence levels all write of the same "myth" and spend their lives bearing testimony of it, and then die horrible deaths without retracting any of their words? I think I would believe them over whoever has been talking to you.

If God said I believe it and that settles it!!! and I absolutely will not watch any thing that makes fun of God or Blasphems him or makes up any thing that is not true to Gods word. God says " do not add or take away from the word"(the Bible)
