TextIf we are doomed to eternal fire for questioning some pretty far fetched stories told more than two thousand years ago and twisted beyond recognition by human foibles, then the system is insane and I want to lodge a complaint.

Here's my take on this daft story.
The Templar's have already stated the Christ will be returning on May 21st.
First of all the Templar's are Illuminati stooges. In turn they were named the Babylonian Brotherhood a long time ago. The Babylonian Brotherhood created religion to control the masses. And where did they get the idea from? Paganism. Paganism is worship of the Sun, Moon and Stars. So the BB come along and borrow Paganism. But of course they personify it with people and animal figures. Jesus is a symbolic name for a certain star.
So when they have said 'Christ will return on May 21st and all can see his return from heaven through the clouds' what they were actually saying is there is a Star and or Comet coming on May 21st.!!!!

Islam teaches that ANYONE who believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God must be killed. To convert to Islam, you must DENY Christ. You sure you want to go there?

Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet

Jesus was born in September of 3BC. 09/11/03 BC to be exact. And who gave you the information that Jesus doesn't exist? The Bible clearly says he does. So where are you getting your info on this?
Well, Jesus said, even if someone were to return from the dead they wouldn't believe. That is because faith is a gift of God and His grace is what it takes to get you to say Christ is Lord. I didn't believe at one point in my life, but God's grace opened my ears one day and now I'm a new person with a new nature just like the Bible talks about...an amazingly true word

For the bold claims that Jesus did not exist:
Tekton site
Christian Thinktank site
Both examine extra-Biblical sources.
The problem with the copies of Antiquities is that they appear to have been rewritten in favor of Jesus and some say too favorable to have been written by a Jew. Add to this that the Christians were the ones who kept and made the copies of the Josephus documents throughout history and you have a shadow of doubt cast upon the quotes.

I did a little digging on this Josephus that I saw on tekton site
and i quickly found this paragraph from another website
It is non-scientific to make absolute claims based on incomplete knowledge.
the bible isn't a reliable source cuz it's a story
because the men who wrote the story had to cover their track on when he does show himself there won't people to believe them
Do read the articles I linked to; they give counter-arguments to such "other sites". At the very least, there is significant evidence in support of the existence of Jesus, in contrast to the baseless assertion I was responding to.

Why is it so common here in regards to Jesus not existing?
Especially considering there are multiple accounts from several eye-witnesses to His life, death, and resurrection, which included His own half-brothers James and Jude?

The chances of that happening are about equivalant to pigs suddenly learning how to fly...
how about you stop spitting out names from the bible to claim as eye-witnesses?
thats the same as me saying superman exist because lois lane was his girlfriend/wife, pete ross was his best friend, jonathan and martha kent were his adopted parents and his greatest enemy was Lex Luthor
