Jesus died on the cross for your sins?? There is plenty of evidence Jesus did live, and was crusified, and rose again, not only the bible, many other books recorded the life of Jesus. Do you believe?? if not why?

No, I don't
And no, there isn't. Please reference anything outside the bible that supports the existence of Jesus. By the way, Josephus has been thouroughly discredited as a christian redaction.
Even if there was evidence Jesus lived, (which I contend there isnt') that certainly doesn't prove he was a god.
I don't believe because there is no evidence. You lie when you say "many othe books recorded the life of Jesus" None at all.
So the question really is, why do YOU believe in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is just a silly pagan myth?

Yes, I do. Stay strong in your faith and you will be rewarded. If all the self-styled atheists want to rip on us, let them. It won't hurt us. I only know that I wouldn't want to be them, or be like them, on the Day. Even if the whole idea of Salvation were a myth, (I don't believe THAT, by the way) it seems like the teachings of a certain carpenter turned Rabbi would be appropriate to living in peace and harmony, lessons that everyone, not just Christians, could agree on. Still, I put my faith where it is, and I am not a bit ashamed to share it with the world. Peace, Brother.

No I don't and I find the idea an insult for the gullible . if a thousand people profess the the world is flat and write books to that effect should i insult myself by believing them as well...?
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. "Albert E".

There are no other books that record the life of Jesus. That is a lie that Christians like to tell.

Bo, I don't. There is very little written about him apart from the bible. That which has been written is highly suspect. It is widely acknowledge now that some of Jusephus writing was forged to add weight to his work.
I would think that if someone was acknowledge to be the messiah, every detail of his life would be well documented

There may be some "speculation" on the moment to moment activities that Jesus experienced however; I am convinced that Jesus went through the experiences (including being crucified)

i don't dispute a man that is now called Jesus lived but i also don't doubt that a man named Apollonius of Tyana also lived and could do all the things Jesus calmed to do at the same time frame.....he was even believed to be the Messiah to his followers why do you not worship him?
a link for those of you who have no clue what im talking about...

Yes I believe. Faith. Because I believe, I believe in all the Words he spoke, even those words that are contrary to the world. Do you give to all that ask? Would you help the person who just killed your child? Would you died for Jesus? yes, yes, and yes.
This is faith.

No. It's the story of Osiris retold.
That's not to say He didn't have an important message for mankind, just that we need to keep in mind the symolism the story represents.

There's no evidence anybody came back from the dead. Just your mythology (which was ripped off older mythologies)
