[QUOTE="food4thought, post: 63504841, member: 3467"] Well, I cannot prove to you they did not, but there is very important point that I can make that mitigates that possibility. 1) The Apostles all died painful deaths at the hands of those opposed to what they taught (with the exception of John, who at the very least was exiled to a prison colony for it). The center of what they taught was that Jesus was the Messiah predicted, and that He died on the cross and was resurrected. They would know for certain whether their teaching was true or not, yet not a single one of them is recorded as denying the truth of what they taught in order to avoid painful death. See, I can understand people dying for what they believed to be true, as we see many people willing to die for what they believe throughout history... but what about someone dying for what they KNEW FOR CERTAIN was a lie they had made up? And not one of them recanted of anything they taught... so why would they all be willing to die for a lie they had made up? [/QUOTE]
