What evidence is there for a biblical jesus?

by Touchofgrey in

is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.

the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.

i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.

This is recorded in the gospels which are not eyewitness accounts written decades after the so called events so cannot be independently verified.

. The miracles of Jesus—he’s admitted as a miracle worker even by non-Christian sources.

Can you provide the non Christian sources that have been independently verified.

The rest don't prove that jesus was a miracle worker just people and places in history, these sound like the minimal facts excuses from gary habermas.

Daniel was written around 167-164 BCE so not a book of prophecy.

You have very cleverly gone off topic which is What evidence is there of a biblical jesus?

So can you please provide independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible claims he did?

The gospels are not eyewitnes accounts.

Maybe the gospel authors used verses from the old testament to make this jesus figure seen important and fit into what Paul said about jesus as he claims to have seen the resurrected jesus as a spirit being.

Acta pilate seems to be dated 4th/5th AD ,so not a eyewitness account

Lee Strobel believes that the four gospels are eyewitness accounts, that's not true, biblical scholars date them to many decades after the so called events.

That's not independently verified evidence of a miracle worker called jesus.

I like bart Ehrman and aware of his work, prof james tabor is also worth considering .

This topic was more for those who still believe that jesus was a real person who performed miracles and was raised from the dead.

I have asked the question a few times and the ones promoting jesus on here won't or can't answer my question so I thought I would start a topic .

Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)

by slimboyfat in

thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.

1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.

not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

Touchofgrey

What were your reasons for believing JW have the truth?

My parents were coercive to believe that jws were the one true religion in the mid 60s and the new world would be fulfilled by 1975 ,so I was coerced by them as a child (they genuinely believed it was for my everlasting benefit) so it was all I knew at that point and continued to be a jw till my mid 50s ,when I educated myself about physiological manipulation and coercive control (was in a abusive marriage) and then realized that religion used the same tactics as domestic abusers. Then looked into jws and religion in general and the facts clearly showed that religion is a way to control and manipulate people. And that the bible is the uninspired word of man .

There is no independently verified evidence of a miracle worker called jesus ,and that the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events.

Who is the Audience

by peacefulpete in

stumbled upon another small observation today and for some reason i've been in a sharing mood.

lol.

compare the synoptic variations of this pericope.

My comment was meant with a hint of sarcasm for those who still accept the four gospels were actually written by Matthew, mark, Luke and john as eyewitnes accounts. When in fact they were written decades after the so called events by unknown authors.
