I can tell you one thing I've learned on ATS:
Any post beginning with "Dear Brother" should be immediately ignored.
And I don't mean in any way that we aren't brothers and sisters. I just have come to understand that anyone using these terms within such a context is about to espouse something sanctimonious, as though they have some higher understanding of things they couldn't possibly KNOW for certain - despite their claim within the next few lines that they do.edit on 22-11-2010 by thektotheg because: clarificationedit on 22-11-2010 by thektotheg because: (no reason given)
Jesus did in facte xist and even the Jews won't deny his existance

You don't want to suffer the separation from your sinful ways in order to conform to the standards of God so your proposed solution is to try to invalidate His existence?

Nobody can help you with that.
That is the whole point. It can't be proven!. People defend the argument with different excuses like you just did because they cannot substantiate what they claim. It is your right to believe whatever you want but you look mighty stupid coming into the thread trying to convince. The best advice I can give you is get some medical help to get you de-programmed. And yes that advice was sincere because as you have your genuine beliefs I have mine. That is anyone caught under the spell of religion needs help!
Cheers
There's a ton of proof in Israel, are you that blinded by your own self indulgence which always makes people like you look foolish in the end?

Almost every religion in the world acknowledges Jesus in some way. Hindus believe Jesus to be one of their 330 million gods. Buddhism acknowledges Jesus as a great moral teacher. Jews believe Jesus to be a false prophet. Islam holds Jesus as a great prophet, born of a virgin, sinless, ascended to heaven, and the judge of the world. It is important to note that history as well as religion recognizes the existence of a real man name Jesus from Nazareth who led a movement, performed mighty works, offered incredible teachings, made audacious claims that ultimately led to his death on a cross, which radically changed the world forever. This is no fairy tale. The person and words of Jesus are historical; whether you believe they are true or not is up to you.

And this is your proof? Please back up what you are saying. Proof is the only thing that will validate your argument!. Believe what you want to believe but when you come into a discussion forum that asks for proof you need to validate it more than that mindless rubbish! It proves nothing!

After reading the first 20 responses, it's clear to me that nobody has any proof he actually existed. The myth of Jesus is the most damaging example of hero worship in the history of mankind. Worship a magical Jew on a cross who you think will come back to life periodically and see how far that gets you. Religion is all evil hero worship, causing social inequality and scapegoating. Ernest Becker wrote a book called "Escape From Evil" in which he details the infinite faults of religion. Read it, and never go to church again.
