Jesus was nailed to a cross, and his stomach was cut open (and liquid poured out). I don't think you just wake up 3 days later after that, and walk around like nothing happened just because you took some strong drugs. I'm not saying you need to believe the story of Jesus, just saying that some strong drugs won't make everything okay after your body has gone through that much trauma.

[mindinclined]

@rickgut2004 Is it so hard to believe that a story is embellished and exaggerated over many years?

[wayneoss]

funnily enough this man became a christian not long after doing this talk, our family knows his.seems he finally did find the truth.

[mindinclined]

@wayneoss LOL. Nice try.

The wages of sin is DEATH...not drugs. This guy doesn't present any "evidence" by the way; he simply states that a drug existed 2,000 years ago. I don't see the big deal... Jesus wasn't a magician or an illusionist; He's the Son of God and didn't need to 'fake His death'.

To address a previous comment from ch40z.... the historical record of Josephus is RIFE with references to Christ, but I'm sure that fact escapes you.

[mindinclined]

@ActorRyanFelton You neglect to mention that Josephus was born after Jesus died... hardly can his work be considered primary evidence if he did not even exist at the time of Jesus' supposed life. His work is also rife with forgery and additions by monks long after his life.

This video shows how easily one could fake death, in order to fool people. Oral traditions are prone to systematic distortion and exaggeration.

We are all son's of god - but 'Jesus' is just a myth.

@911dispatcher You saw someone who appeared to look the same as Jesus.

Prove that you did actually see the real Jesus. Prove that anything you believe is true.

I don't believe anything that has not been objectively demonstrated by physical evidence.

Besides, you really think that what you said is going to make mindinclined think? You have no evidence to support your statements, so they will be disregarded and completely ignored.

@ActorRyanFelton

Many people in history, have thought they were the "son of god"...or any reincarnation, etc. etc. etc...it's old hat, and was, even during the time of jesus...he was nothing special, just another psychotic individual with a split personality complex.

@mindinclined Only fools will ignore the mountains of evidence for the veracity of Scripture and substitute the fantasies of their minds and consider it reasonable and responsible.

Servants of satan will go far beyond that and fabricate mountains of lies to deceive people.

The Bible is its own best witness and a true heart will hear God speak.

Those seeking to justify themselves will find all the excuses they want to deny God's Word and when Judgment comes, they'll see they have no excuses.

@911dispatcher Interesting how you always make unfalsifiable hypotheses. The properties of what you are hypothesizing are unknown, therefore your hypothesis cannot be proved wrong.

It is OK to be afraid of dying, it is normal, and death is inevitable. I understand your need to convince yourself that you may live on after death because you cannot comprehend the idea of not having any thoughts or even a pulse after death.

By the way, if I see a physical demonstration, I will believe it.

@pro4skill What you're too dead to understand is that God is a spirit and this world is ruled by spirits. The spirits of darkness and light. Those of the light communicate light and truth and those in the light know what's going on. Those in the darkness love the darkness because their deeds are evil and lying to oneself is part and parcel of the "darkness."

You refuse to believe our testimony because your deeds are evil and you love the darkness. "Prove" to you?

LOL You're a willing fool.

@wayneoss Nice try. He's my thesis supervisor and does not believe in "god"

@mindinclined It is when you're an eyewitness to the resurrection as I am.

Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me in 1972 and He is indeed risen from the dead and the Scriptures are true. Furthermore, you're a fool to oppose God when you're thoroughly and completely ignorant. You know nothing of your suppositions and speculations -- you're just a blasphemer without a cause, except to deny the truth. That's the devil's job and Jesus said the whole world lies in his power. Should make you think.

@mindinclined Too many drugs keep you from using your brain? Josephus lived over 1900 years ago and was far closer to eyewitnesses than lying scorners such as yourself and has long been considered a very credible historian and very many things which he said have been confirmed and verified... yet you feel compelled to open your mouth with worthless nonsense and finish it with a blatant lie. Your user name should be "liesinclined" since spreading nonsense, deceit and lies is your agenda.
