Knocking the faith out of other people

@ghost-of-a-duke said
I'll repeat it. There is no tangible evidence for the Resurrection of Christ for a person who does not view the Bible as the word of God. All you have left are ancient and meaningless witness accounts. etc (Yes, meaningless).

And we move on to whether the Gospels are credible which you also have falsely claimed that they aren’t.

But I’ve presented other evidence to you via questions which you simply ignore.

And that, hombre, is why your opinion of Christianity means very little to me. Actually next to nothing. Ok, bordering on nothing.

Your 'evidence' is laughable.

I'm genuinely embarrassed for you.

Wasn't one piece of "evidence" the question "How do you explain the empty tomb?"

My evidence was enough to persuade three experts in evaluating evidence (two of whom were atheists) to become Christians.

<<Check these guys out...

Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853) was one of the founders of Harvard Law School. He authored the authoritative three-volume text, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence (1842), which is still considered "the greatest single authority on evidence in the entire literature of legal procedure."

Greenleaf literally wrote the rules of evidence for the U.S. legal system. He was certainly a man who knew how to weigh the facts. He was an atheist until he accepted a challenge by his students to investigate the case for Christ's resurrection.

After personally collecting and examining the evidence based on rules of evidence that he helped establish, Greenleaf became a Christian and wrote the classic, Testimony of the Evangelists.

“Let [the Gospel's] testimony be sifted, as it were given in a court of justice on the side of the adverse party, the witness being subjected to a rigorous cross-examination. The result, it is confidently believed, will be an undoubting conviction of their integrity, ability, and truth.”

Sir Lionel Luckhoo (1914-1997) is considered one of the greatest lawyers in British history. He's recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "World's Most Successful Advocate," with 245 consecutive murder acquittals. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II -- twice.

Luckhoo declared:

“I humbly add I have spent more than 42 years as a defense trial lawyer appearing in many parts of the world and am still in active practice. I have been fortunate to secure a number of successes in jury trials and I say unequivocally the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.”

Lee Strobel was a Yale-educated, award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune. As an atheist, he decided to compile a legal case against Jesus Christ and prove him to be a fraud by the weight of the evidence. As Legal Editor of the Tribune, Strobel's area of expertise was courtroom analysis.

To make his case against Christ, Strobel cross-examined a number of Christian authorities, recognized experts in their own fields of study (including PhD's from such prestigious academic centers as Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis). He conducted his examination with no religious bias, other than his predisposition to atheism.

Remarkably, after compiling and critically examining the evidence for himself, Strobel became a Christian.

Stunned by his findings, he organized the evidence into a book entitled, The Case for Christ, which won the Gold Medallion Book Award for excellence. Strobel asks one thing of each reader - remain unbiased in your examination of the evidence. In the end, judge the evidence for yourself, acting as the lone juror in the case for Christ...>>

Can you explain it?

It was akin to 'how can you explain the missing mince pies' to justify the existence of Santa Claus.

What "empty tomb"?

What "empty tomb"?

The empty tomb where they had placed the body of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion.

Isn’t it interesting that the whereabouts of the remains of all the other religious leaders from that time are known but Jesus’ aren’t.

And the reason why is because He was Resurrected. ✝️ ⬆️ 👍👍

Give me one that’s not.

Were the Pharisees interested in refuting the claims of Jesus Christ’s disciples that Jesus had been Resurrected and had appeared to them in bodily form?
