That's just an ad hominem strawman.

So you have no evidence.

Look, I never said there is no objective evidence for anything, and I never said that evidence here must be objective. You are just squirming from discomfort. As stupid as I am, you dj2becker deserve my disrespect.

Ghost is not a troll. Thank you for confirming my opinion about you, djbecker2 or whatever.

You asked for evidence that can be demonstrated and doesn't depend on opinion. Surely all evidence for the supernatural depends on opinion else everyone would be a believer.

Then you should have no problem demonstrating that my statement was indeed an'ad hominem strawman'. I'll get some popcorn.

You tell me Dive, if God does exist to whom is He accountable? Who will prosecute Him for His actions? Do you not think God has a good reason for allowing a child to die of cancer? Do you have anything useful to contribute to this thread? As a Christian how do you rationalize a child dying of cancer? Or don't you? Do you have another explanation that is better than the one I gave? If so feel free to share it.
Is that a yes, a no, or a dodge?

No it's the law God put in place for all humans to follow. I've told you all this before.

Seems you are doing the dodging.

So ten thousand plus Jerusalem Jews began to switch from Saturday being their most holy day to "the Lord's Day", the 8th day of the week because of "faith".

To what do you attribute this sudden arrival of faith ?
Why didn't skeptics quench that faith by the presentation of proof that it was frivolous via producing the corpse of Jesus's body ?

There was plenty incentive to contradict the new faith from both religious and political power structures.

Do you have a decent alternative explanation of this evidence of the resurrection of Christ ?

No faith is not all you need. You need One to be FAITHFUL.

But aside from this quicky dodge, your next post I hope will give an alternative explanation to the switching of scores of Jerusalem Jews from Saturday Sabbath keeping, to "the breaking of bread" on the first day of the week, the so called "Lord's day" to celebrate His rising from the dead.

Why didn't those vehemently opposed to this new movement among Jerusalem Jews produce the corpse of Jesus to quell their enthusiasm ?

(Please don't just argue that I should have "faith" that you are thinking logically without your decent alternative interpretation of the evidence).

Why do you claim that nature (or even supernature, whatever that is) depends on opinion? The world, with all it's atoms and molecules doesn't slap you in the face, but I do. Am I supernatural?

But I didn't shoulder that burden. Not that I couldn't, I merely did not. Your thought process is just a muddle.

Some people have the opinion that there is more than enough evidence for the existence of the supernatural, some people like yourself don't share that opinion.
