Answer 1

allegedly...

Answer 2

Even non religious scholars will agree that Jesus did indeed live during the time that the Bible says he did, there is enough evidence in non-secular history to establish this. These scholars will also agree (through the abundance of evidence) that Jesus was indeed crucified under the Roman method of Crucifixion.

Then there is the Biblical account of the Crucifixion, in which there were many witnesses, and Jesus speaks to his mother and John, his disciple, from the cross.

Where is this video getting it's information. It seems ridiculous that they would make this, and even more ridiculous that anyone with the brain capacity greater than that of a three year old would believe it.

Of course, the real reason to make it, now we are talking about it. They win.

Answer 3

Josephus, a Jewish historian, mentioned Jesus in his writings toward the end of the first century C.E., roughly 60 years after Jesus' death.
As a non-Christian, Josephus would have no reason to accept the historical reality of Jesus unless there was some sound basis for it.
In one of his works, Josephus discusses disturbances that were caused by the Jews during the time Pontius Pilate was governor of the region of Judea (26-36 C.E,) The disturbance centered around a man named Jesuss and his followers, Josephus identifies Jesus as "a wise man....a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of men who received the truth with pleasure," and he notes that Jesus was later condemned by Pilate to crucifixion. While this mention of Jesu does not suggest that Josephus himself accepted Jesus or the claim made about Jesus by his followers, it does seem clear that Josephus recognized Jesus to be a historical person who had a profound impact on the people he encountered.

Read also about Tacitus, a Roman historian.....Pliny the Younger another Roman source and Suetonius a Roman historian and lawyer.
All these writers prove the historical existence of Jesus......rather than biblical sources.

Answer 4

That is the biggest hogwash I've seen. The Bible clearly states that the Roman soldiers were there, Leaders of the Jewish community threw insults at Him, some of the Disciples and faithful women were there. Jesus said to John "behold your mother" - providing his earthly mother Mary someone to look after her. The Bible says that Disciple looked after Mary from that hour. The Roman soldiers even pierced His side and blood and water gushed out - just to make sure He was dead. The theory from Islam that says He was just in shock is ludicrous. Three days of severe shock from the worst torments imaginable and He just gets up and walks away after moving His own stone from the inside of the tomb - get real people. Jesus died a human death - completely. And then He rose from the dead because He was also GOD.

Answer 5

No amount of eye witness testimony could be enough to back up the claims of dyeing and then coming back to life? If any of this nonsense did happen? The most likely explanation was that he never actually died in the first place? If some one dies today; an ambulance and doctor are called and the they are examined and then taken to a hospital to confirm the death. If that s the best the creator of this universe can do I am dumbfounded. A few magic tricks,a virgin birth(how the hell you can confirm that I don t know) and an empty cave? It s really flawed thinking. If the bible arrived on an asteroid lazier etched into graphine with some video evidence my ears might prick up!

Answer 6

That was over 2000 years ago. By your logic we don't have any proof that any has happened historically past 100 years ago! Are you the boy in the bubble, do you need some water?

When it comes down to it, Mary the Blessed mother of Jesus was present as was John and James, Mary Magdelene and so many others. But that doesn't convince anyone with your keen intellect does it?

Answer 7

The number of thumbs down will indicate that I' m right. Yes , there were many. It's in the Book ( Bible) His own mother was there. The fact that you are existing right now Is proof .What would it take for you to believe? You no doubt would not believe If Jesus himself appeared before you and Said" I am he the one you do not believe in".There was no video when I was born so you know there was none then.Plus the man you see here on You-tube is clearly reading something that he wrote to read to those who believe in him.( the one that's reading)

Answer 8

just because they were at a distance doesn't mean they couldn't tell it was Jesus and just because Mary Magdalene was standing by the cross doesn't mean she was directly next to it either. so none of that works unless the Bible said the exact distance she was standing from the cross in one verse and a completely different exact distance in another. also, the thing about John and Mary the mother of Jesus-just because it's not mentioned in more than one gospel, it doesn't mean it's not true. i mean you could say a lie a billion times and it'll still be a lie and you could say something that's true once and it'll still be true. and one more thing, even IF none of Jesus' followers, believers, disciples, etc were there to see it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. just because you don't believe in someone or agree with them or whatever doesn't mean you're not a valid witness.

Answer 9

there were all kinda of eye witnesses not just to the death of Jesus... but the tomb was incontrovertably empty

the person speaking is really quoting the BIble out of context left and right... Jesus was sent to the house of Israel FIRST ... would be a more contextualized and reasonable way to look at it..

after that he goes down hill fast, the apostle John was at the trial inside while Peter was outside in the sourtyard,

additionally John and Jesus Mother were at the cross and Jesus talked to them.... this speak keeps saying some women disciples... but one is Jesus mother who Jesus spoke to

in a six hour crusifiction, of course there could be women watching from afar... and at one point... His mother and John could draw near as He apprached death...

Answer 10

I think I'm not the only one when I say that I'll stick with what the Bible says instead of Youtube. Also, when reading the Bible, one would see that there were tons of people there to witness Jesus' death.

Answer 11

No, the 1st countless chapters ( i've got confidence it fairly is the 1st 7) are written interior the third guy or woman - "and he observed a guy named Matthew"... no one writing an eye fixed witness account writes like that. i've got confidence the e book to be in user-friendly terms a mix of diverse oral thoughts going around at that factor. I doubt a guy named Matthew even wrote it.
