@IndubitablyMe1988People like P. Pilate & Caiaphas have been confirmed by artifact. I think, making the NT more reliable. Consider that Roman & Greek history are usually biased and removed one or two generations or even centuries from the events they record&historians confidently reconstruct Roman & Greek history. For example, the two earliest biographies of Alexander the Great were written by Arrian &Plutarch over 400 years after Alexander’s death, and yet classical historians still trust them

@IndubitablyMe1988 Also, what we have are attributes given to a person of history, namely Jesus. Not a person of mythology such as zeus. Also I remember either a letter to or from the Roman emperor, calling him a magician. Also the Roman historians i listed too, call him other provoking names such as sophist or cultist.

@IndubitablyMe1988 Cornelius Tacitus, Lucian of Samosata, Flavius Josephus, Suetonius, Plinius Secundus, Fragments of Thallus, Fragments of Phlegon(confirms the darkness at the crucifixtion). These are sources which establish the existence, the execution, the darkness at the scene and the persecution. You say the "Bible" but the bible did not exist then, they were mere documents of history. So one can use the now four Gospels as reference aswell.

@deuschristiamor Oh, and "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" has been ripped apart. There is practically zero proof of Jesus' as risen messiah, outside of it's heavy reliance on the Bible as a source of fact... It would be the same as if I wrote a book 'proving' the existence of Zeus using mythological text as my primary source. Hardly objective.

@deuschristiamor "Firstly, Jesus is recorded by five different sources or thereabouts. So his existence is simply undeniable."
While I don't necissarily refute Jesus' existence, all sources from that era are shady at best. Mistranslations, the initial stories of miracles and such were told simply by word of mouth, greed, etc are all in play here. So as a healing miracle worker, there is zero evidence. As a person, there are slivers to work with, I suppose...

@ Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Aramatheia, a member of the sanhedrin, later the tomb was found empty by women followers. The words of women were taken as unworthy, yet they were believed. Jews didnt believe in a dying and rising messiah, the sheer unlikelyhood of the events are mind boggling. The book of luke as it is called today, has been found to have great accuracy in its events. Pontius Pilate has been found to be historical both in artifact and quoted works.

@IndubitablyMe1988 I didnt say it was. Firstly, Jesus is recorded by five different sources or thereabouts. So his existence is simply undeniable. Now what we have are records attributed to his life, by actual people. They were not writing "The Holy Bible", rather they were recording events in his history. Intrestingly, there is an independent Roman source for the darkness of the sky during or after the crucifixtion. Also you must realize the "un-jewishness" of the attitude towards christ.

@deuschristiamor Another book? Thats not evidence. I believe in things that are fact-based, have recorded substantial evidence, and have been peer reviewed, not something written in a book (especially when that book realies havily on scripture for it's "evidence"). If I did I would just assume to believe in the Bible. At least it's stood the test of time.
