Was it a tuna?
"Was it a tuna?"
If you're talking about what I said from the Book of Jonah, let's continue reading the Scriptures shall we? I'll even let you make your claim.
Jonah 2:5, "The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head."
Notice the word "weeds."
What do you make out of this?
Perhaps the fish was not a carnivous animal? Weeds inside of the whale's stomach.
Maybe it was Cheech and Chong?
Still waiting for the scientific evidence that a man can live in a fish.
Pliny the Younger - A Roman citizen who speaks of Jesus' death, resurrection and the movement that followed. (The writings of Roman outpost as far away as England of the earthquake and eclipse that occurred at the very hour of Jesus' death.) The Talmud - A text begun by the very priest that condemned Jesus to death. They speak of Jesus' miracles and resurrection, but attribute them to "demonic powers."
I had my share of say, by the way, Matt Chandler is freaking awesome.
"Again NONE of these people were alive when Jesus lived."
1. You're claiming that Jesus lived. So what exactly are you arguing? Secondly, do your research, and thirdly, the disciples were alive during Jesus' time and life, obviously. They got killed by their testimony, thus, meaning no "blind faith." This was of being witness of Jesus' life, miracle, death and resurrection. Re-read my comments, which state that followers died, even non followers and well known enemies, even Pilate (I'm
sure you know who he is) record the same events of Jesus' life, death, resurrection and miracles.
Why are you even arguing? And even viewing these videos? To attempt to refute everything and not give credible evidences or facts, either?
Then there is the Non-Biblical evidences (which some may be able to be refuted and called forgery, but it holds to be very substantial).
Flavius Josephus - A Roman Historian who also saw the resurrected Jesus. Tacitus - A Roman Historian who witnessed many of Jesus' miracles. Thallus - A Roman Historian who was present during much of Jesus' ministry. Julius Africanus - Who in 220 AD mentions Thallus' writing of the eclipse of the sun and earthquake that followed Jesus' death.
