you dont think Jesus was real? What about Pontious Pilate or Alexander the great?

Originally posted by caissad4However, Alexander the Great failed to rise from the dead to prove anything. He stayed dead to prove he was just another man. No claim is made of him ascending to heaven. However, Jesus even took a picture of His resurrection, the Shroud of Turin, to prove He was crucified and rose from the dead. The tomb is still empty and His bones are nowhere to be found.
Hmmm, Alexander the Great is also claimed historically to have been born of a virgin.

Originally posted by SuzianneWhy did you suddenly change the word Suzianne used ~ "created"/"creating" ~ to "procreated"/"procreating"? Presumably you did it on purpose? Mentioning two words that are not exact synonyms, she said "Created or begotten? Make up your mind." And then you changed one of the words to a synonym of "begetting" in your reply, asking for the difference between the two synonyms "procreating and begetting". Why?
created or begotten? Make up your mind.

Perhaps you will explain the difference between procreating and begetting?

If JC was a god, it seems to me it could have made a better image than that stupid shroud.
