If Jesus didn't exist ... why do we measure years using BC (before Christ) and AD (after death as it originally was, or ... an adominai) ?? Were the people just imaging that Jesus existed that they setup a measurement system named specially after Jesus's life? BC and AD?
You only fool yourself when people do that ... Common sense has it that if you make an ABSOLUTE STATEMENT about any particular topic ... one must possess ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE, about it.
So, to make a statement for example or say that Jesus didn't exist, is not good enough, because you or anybody else, surely does not have absolute knowledge.
Boy ... you know, im sure Jesus is a figment of peoples imagination you know, thats why people get healed of unhealable and untreatable diseases, you know thats why Christians have peace in their life, you know ... it also makes perfect sense why everything is done Anti-Christiantity around us ... Boy, Jesus sure has shaken and stirred the world's anger by being a mythical figure (Please note sarcasm)
Come on man, its an insult on common sense to say he didn't exist. Think about things guys.
Take a look at athiests ... They dont beleive God, but they want to beleive "re-packaged" fairy tales for grown up men such as the EVOLUTION THEORY and make imaginable and creative theories to try to disprove God, why? Because that makes God higher than man, hence giving God the ability to judge us. People dont like that.
Its ridiculous about some of the things going on right now in the world, its a chrisis ...
We have Evolutions that beleive their great great great great great grandfather evolved from a rock which came from a cosmic burp called the Big Dud, ooops, i meant ... The Big Bang, Its ridiculous ... Any wise person will tell you this ...
"Nothing Begets Nothing" ... And Evolutionists say ... "Nothing Begat Everything" ... Its an assault on common sense, it makes me laugh to such that such stupid people alive, they're a disgrace.
Put it this way, this is how ridiculous Evolution is when they say everybody came from an animal, or a common ancestor, such as a rock, or an ameabo ...
"Have you guys ever heard that kissing a frog will turn it into a prince?"
Sure it works, try it, kiss a frog, kiss a toad, kiss a dog, but it will not turn into a human that is able to talk walk think. COme on people, raise your hand tonight ... how many women in here have got there husbands by kissing a frog? I dont think any hands are raised.
Folks ... it takes more faith to beleive a big dug like Evolution, then it does to beleive in a powerful God like Jesus. Amen?
Genesis Chapter 3 verse 1 says ...
"Now the 1serpent was more 2subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
Notice people ... Satan in the Garden of Eden did what, did what did what did what? He questioned. Thats right, he questioned eve. HE MADE HER DOUBT! You see, is it any wonder why people from the very day of Eve's fall doubt the Authenticity of Gods word and Jesus being alive and such ridiculous things?
Can you see the first thing Satan did was QUESTION her? He made her doubt and said complete opposite of what God said. Dear me what is the world coming to people.
People ... if we read the Bible, we can pickup some VERY interesting information, even the question mark shows a big peice of information like i just showed you. Being a Christian is more than just reading a book called the Bible or going to church on a sunday ... The reason why I personally beleive in Jesus because he IS ALIVE, he has done miracles in my life and millions of others.
God bless.
