As far as I'm concerned, the historical Jesus died somewhere around 30 CE by means of a cruel execution - and his followers just kept on going,
Basically admitting He was crucified. now The Apostles preached His Resurrection where He was crucified, Jerusalem so if the body was still in the tomb, they could not preach The Resurrection in Jerusalem. there had to be an empty tomb.
No one could have stolen the tomb and The Apostles were genuine, appears to Paul, James, and The Women were authentic, Apostles had nothing to gain, and died for their beliefs after many many chances to be relieved of their martyrdom, despite the fact that they were mere peasants, Jesus Christ appearance after death changed their lives, they believed despite every predisposition to the contrary.
like many religious sectarians before and after them, rationalizing their apparent defeat in a way that allowed them to stick to their beliefs. And then, the tale just started to grow in the telling, Paul appeared on the stage of world history, and by the time the vast bulk of the New Testament was penned, Jesus had grown from a potential Jewish messiah into God Incarnate, modeled after the dying and rising gods of the hellenic mystery religions.
All assumptions disproven. also Gospels are just as The Apostles wrote them, read William Lane Craig about this. you went from hallucination theory and I disproved that, now you choose conspiracy and I just disproved that above, you're running out of your "naturalistic" myths.
Where did you establish these facts? Your post merely repeats the tale being told in the Bible,
See what you did, you just assumed they were tales, you can't do that, if you do you become a hypocrite, get out of here with that logic, has no place in court of law.
uncritically assuming that everything written therein constitutes historical fact rather than embellished religious legend.
when? I proved a Crucifixion, Empty Tomb, Appearances, and Apostles Authenticity. I suggest you read Gary Habermas.
I didn't assume anything, I USED historical facts to prove The Resurrection, you become a hypocrite by using the assumption of "guilty no matter what".
I don't know, an "atheist" is easy to use witnesses in court which are completely reliable despite the witnesses having no basis for truth, yet deny The Apostles despite proven genuine. it's presupposition.
add this with The Shroud and "atheist" make themselves really look bad because if you believe in the unscientific myth of "macro-evolution" and are truly honorable to science and are fair you cannot that The Shroud is Supernatural.
