What is the historical evidence that Jesus Christ lived and died?

[stu]

In a study reported in the February 26 issue of Nature (Vol. 391, pp. 871-874), researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now conducted a highly controlled experiment demonstrating how a beam of electrons is affected by the act of being observed. The experiment revealed that the greater the amount of "watching," the greater the observer's influence on what actually takes place.

It's an amazing phenomenon but not sure it should be quite so surprising as it's often made out to be. To observe a beam of electrons it requires light or a sensor which will change or interfere with an electrons' environment. So of course the observation itself might be expected to mess with their behavior.

Like trading. As soon as you interfere with the market by placing a trade, it often does the unexpected.

What you believe to be true only becomes stronger over time. There is no need for historical evidence of " " ...he is true to those that believe.

hmm perhaps not surprisingly, "What you believe to be true only becomes stronger over time." and "There is no need for historical evidence" and "Galileo Was a Liar"...... are also slogans of The Flat Earth Society.

That's one inaccurate quotation. See, you just twisted what I said few days ago, how would history preserve my comment if it was made 2k years ago?

Well if you had made that 2k years ago, history would preserve it as the only evidence to say 'Jesus lived' within at least 100 years after his supposed death .

However, you made it in the here and now and as there is no real evidence, no historicity whatsoever to the claim 'Jesus lived', your comment is ironically no better than the twisted propaganda it speaks of.

Hope that helps.

They have found a carved stone tablet for his sepulchre with his name on it. Could be a fake though.

Who cares? They found God! And she's alive in Houston, TX!

Asked in 2015 by the programme's host, Gay Byrne, what he would say to God if he arrived at the pearly gates of heaven, the actor and author replied: “I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about?”

The committed atheist added: “How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil.

BBC Asian Network asks: 'What is right punishment for blasphemy?'

“Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?

“We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of god would do that?

“The god who created this universe, if it was created by god, is quite clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish.”

A Gardai spokeswoman told The Independent: “We're not commenting on an ongoing investigation.”

According to the Irish Independent the comment were originally reported to police in 2015. The complainant is said to have followed up last year, and to have received a phone call from a detective some weeks ago to discuss the case.

The paper quoted a source as saying a prosecution was unlikely.

I sometimes think some are turning the clock into reverse time.
The rights and privileges hard won over the years are being undermined. The Trump age of the super rich are behaving like the " Robber Barons " of the 19th century. Even there is the rise of 19th century protectionism and nationalism around the world.

Both are operating from a position of fear of losing control. They are segregating themselves, while trying to kill threats. This includes plans to exterminate the population.

They are guilty of slavery, mass murder, and mass torture. They don't want to go to prison or lose control/power, and are willing to kill the human species.

Looks like the same good reason for why Jesus didn't write any books!

Perhaps a typical reason that some great Philosophers/Buddhas did not write any books at all!

%% I see your points /quotes OTrader.
Actually while Jesus Christ ,[ the Word, aka king of kings , aka LORD]did not put his name on the cover of the Bible, he inspired it.
And sort of like i just quoted you[[not saying you are God LOL]; Jesus Christ quoted plenty of old testament verses.Most versions note it in new testatment where Jesus, King of kings ,quotes old testament sometimes in footnotes.............................................................................................................................
