Verifiable proof of Jesus' existance outside the Bible

by unsure in

thought i'd start a separate discussion on the subject.. those who know me know i'm struggling with faith; i want to believe, some days i do but it becomes difficult.. many believers say there is verifiable proof of jesus' existence outside of the bible.. please post this proof..

I have come to believe in The Father and The Son because of the evidence which abounds - Old Navy

What sort of evidence are you referring to? The design of the universe and of living things ceased being an argument for god 150 years ago.

If god made the living world why did he wipe out 96% of all living things in the Permian extinction 250 million years ago? Everything you see today evolved from the 4% that survived. This event that lasted more than 40,000 years was just one of five similar events.

Seeing love or wisdom in the natural world requires a very selective view of natural history.

One of the best films I have seen.

It is three overlapping stories told from the perspective of The Royal Air Force, the men on the beach and the boats that rescued them.

More than 300,000 British soldiers were brought home by an armada of civilian vessels. Churchill had feared that number might be as low as 30,000. They lived to fight another day and, with the help of the USA, defeat the Nazis in 1945.

Jesus Christ was anti-family

by deegee in

strong family ties & family values did not matter to jesus:.

- a person must hate his or her family and themselves in order to be jesus’ disciple (matthew 10:37; luke 14:26).

- jesus will give a big reward to those who forsake their family, abandon their home, leave their family behind for him.

Fair comment Nevuela. Let me rephrase.

"It is impossible for anybody who does not read the bible through a Christian bias to avoid the conclusion that Jesus was a false prophet ".

McEnroe Puts Serena at About 700 on Men's Tour

by cofty in

john mcenroe was challenged by npr reporter lulu garcia-navarro to amend his comments about serena williams in his new book in which he rates her as the best women's player of all time.

lulu suggested he should not call her the best "women's" player but simply the best player of all time.

mcenroe was taken aback and explained that the men's and women's tours were very different and that serena would be around 700th on in the men's game.

According to third-wave feminism facts of biology are lies told by the "patriarchy".

When did equality become confused with a denial of difference?

Christina Hoff-Sommers, "The Factual Feminist", tries to bring some common sense to the debate in her latest video.

Can you prove Jesus existed outside of Bible (so called) evidence?

by punkofnice in

i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.

did jesus actually exist?.

without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..

Fishy I didn't say Josephus was unreliable. The references to JC in Josephus are later additions. There are no reliable references to JC outside the bible.
