    Jesus Christ did not command His followers and believers to celebrate this so-called easter. What He commanded us we are not doing but doing our own thing in His name. The concept of christianity that He brought to the world ...

    With all due respect the writer is not asking you to go and celebrate Easter. You people will make sound bites about everything. The title reads, "HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST", open your ey ...

    THE MUSLIM SCHOLARS HAVE SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT THEIR RELIGION IS THE TRUTH.
    BUDDHIST AND HINDUS ALSO HAVE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.

    ALL RELIGIONS HAVE TRUTHS.
    NO RELIGION IS THE ONLY TRUTH.

    The story of the virgin birth and the messiah dying and rising after three days was around before Jesus. The Bible is a book of Jewish mythology.
    Ancient Egyptian religion predated the Bible by thousands of years.

  • Teyewayo 10 years ago

    THE APOSTLES THOUGHT JESUS WAS COMING IN THEIR LIFE TIME.
    JESUS COMES WHEN YOU DIE.
    HE IS NOT GOING TO COME FROM THE SKIES.
    HE COMES AT A DIFFERENT TIME FOR EVERYONE.

    Did your mind go up in a puff of smoke while you were reading the article. The article is rich in references to evidence. Go and read them to find out whether what he is saying is true. Your criticism is worth nothing.

  • oko Fio 10 years ago

    The article provided no concrete proof that Jesus lived and died and went to heaven. All the evidence provided in the article has been shot down already.

    My brain hurts from reading this. Religious people scare the shit out of me... The fact that this can be believed as true is extremely scary.

    So you are an imaginary friend. So you look in the mirror, walk away and deny your own existence ?

    the writer cites sources that have debunked already. It is a ridiculous attempt at using science to proof mythology. Noah's ark has been found? Ridiculous. Did Noah take all 6,000,000 species of insects onto the ark?

    I can't help but notice that the only writings cited were those written at least 20 years after the his death. That's a little bit like reading the journal entry of someone born in the 1980's about the assassination of JFK an ...

    In the Americas, the Europeans spread christianity by killing hundres of Thousands. In Europe the same happened.
    All over the world, Christianity was spread by violence and murder.

    The Shroud is literal proof of Christ's Resurrection.

    I was OK with this article until the reference of the turin shroud. No one can link this piece of cloth exactly to one individual, especially to Jesus. This is a catholic (whore of babylon) hoax.
