There is no documented historical evidence that any of those people ever died and rose from the dead.
Originally posted by amannionYour analogy is weak.
World wide publishing, decades after the event.
It'd be like me writing about the construction of the Berlin Wall.
I wasn't actually there, but I heard a lot about it ...
Originally posted by josephwWhat was your point exactly?
Jesus is the only one on that list. And that's my point.
Can't anyone come up with something substantial to counter my point?
Originally posted by amannionThat's not my point.
So what?
Is your measure for the 'truth' of an event, how much it shapes world history?
Originally posted by josephwNo one can even prove to me that the resurrection even occurred - so what was your point again?
That's not my point.
What I'm driving at is, is that no one can even counterfeit the resurrection.
Why?
One would think there would be hundreds of would be resurrected Gods in this jumbled up world.
Originally posted by amannionIt's not necessarily my point to prove the resurrection occurred.

Originally posted by josephwJust because one part of a story is true doesn't make it all true.
It's not necessarily my point to prove the resurrection occurred.
But why it isn't counterfeited is my point.
I think that it may speak volumes.
Let's assume it's true that Jesus was God and that he died and rose from the dead for a moment.
If it's true, then so would be the rest of the story. That story says we have a common enemy in the person of ...[text shortened]... God.
But just play along with me for a bit.
Why are there no other resurrected Gods?
Originally posted by amannionWell of course God wouldn't need to do it twice!
Just because one part of a story is true doesn't make it all true.
If god did exist and the story is true, why would there be a need for other resurrected gods?
Originally posted by Red NightNot worth replying to.
There is no historical evidence that Jesus died and was resurrected.
Originally posted by josephwShow me the reliable historical evidence.
Not worth replying to.
I read some of your recent posts. You need professional help to untangle all that misinformation and convoluted thinking.
I'd do it for nothing.
But you're a good chess player though.
Originally posted by josephwWhilst I hate to agree with Red Night, your discarding of his rebuttal is pathetic. There really is no historical evidence that Jesus died and rose again from the dead. There's plenty of weight of belief, sure, but none of that is actually founded on historical evidence, merely on faith. Attacking his posting style and psychology is childish.
