Who the frig did the sound mixing on this video? It's extremely annoying!!

@purpleluvb1234 Dude I am pretty sure they are not looking for the body. When they say Search for they mean evidence of his life besides the Bible for those who do not believe in Christ. They are not looking for his bones...

Hershel Shanks is an extremely intelligent man.

the soundtrack - is that Eddie Kochak singing? George Abdo? the voice sounds familiar...

Jesus rose from the dead. how would you ever find him???

[purpleluvb1234]

THey're not gonna find Jess anyway

cause in the Bible it said that he rose form the dead

so he wasnt buried

@scgcdmluvr I completely agree that he existed. Whether he was the son of man or not, we will probably never know. The problem amongst scholars is most are biased one way or another and you can't take their "proof" as "gospel" if you pardon the pun. If you want an example , go look at mithraism discussion on wikipedia. Personally I;m only interested in truth and sorry If i came across as rude. Peace.

@scgcdmluvr eachother almost directly (differing by the lens of who was writing it). look. simply put, i believe jesus existed. the bible isn't true by a factual standpoint, but a metaphorical one. a man did exist, of whom many followed and believed in. whether or not you believe that, i honestly don't care. above, my exchange with lespauls61 was fact based and just a discussion of two people sharing points of view. no need to get worked up about it bro...

@cullyvan i apologize, the agnostic gospels are also accounts.

I'm afraid i'm not entirely sure what you mean... by undisputed i mean among well-known archaeologists... of course there are a select few who question validity of evidence and so forth, but mainly it has been accepted that jesus (or the man who we know as jesus) existed. it is simply impossible that so many people, of whom never met or never heard of eachother, write about this one man, and describe events that paralell

@scgcdmluvr "it is the only records of that time period we posess" Nonsense. Go to a library.

It is NOT indisputed that Jesus lived, but as an agnostic it seems more than likely that he did. Go to your local supermarket checkout to see the kind of nonsense that is printed NOW. Imagine a world with very few literate people and imagine the kind of nonsense they could get away with. Thats all I;m saying.
