Nero tried to burn up Christians (as though their beliefs would burn). He knew they believed in this 'Jesus Christ' - and he allowed Simon Magus to have his say to these Christians and taunt the apostle Peter. He challenged him to a duel and asked Peter if he could fly. Then Simon Magus Peter (who had strapped a contraption to his back) pretended to fly through the air in front of all who were in audience (including Peter). He fell to the ground and died three days later. BUT, not without wanting to take Peter with him. You probably know all about the catecombs of Rome and the colluseum. These are testaments not only to Jesus but His followers who were willing to die for Him. Btw, peter is not buried in Rome. Simon Magus Peter is! And, another thing - Peter was the chief apostle of Jerusalem and Paul was sent to the Gentiles. If Israel came out of Egypt - why would they be considered Gentile. They had Jesus show them the way - and they took the BIBLE with them wherever they went. Explain all the Christian countries. We should all be Muslim if we thought Jesus was spelled with a lower case 'j.' I'm understanding this blog better - because some do not even claim to be Christian here. It's more like - 'ok, i'm an athiest or agnostic now - because Mr. Armstrong made me do it.' <br /><br />I can give you a lot more examples of proof of Jesus Christ. There was a GREAT earthquake -just as the bible says - when Jesus died AND when He was resurrected. You can still see remnants of the huge disaster around one end of the Sea of Galilee. Interesting, huh! Also, If you were able to take a satellite view of several layers underground in the area of Israel - you would see complete devastation from the time of that earthquake - and HUGE stones and bolders were moved. How do you think the stone moved when the disciples got to see inside Jesus tomb? It was such a huge boulder that the Romans thought it would keep him inside the tomb for a long while. <br /><br />Also, our entire calendar is based on the very same time period (people argue BCE or whatever - but what is the common era about?) AFTER JESUS. When did Christianity begin? Christianity began with Jesus. It wouldn't be here if Jesus was 'jesus' (a man or a prophet only) because He could not save. He has to be Lord, King of the Universe, Savior, Good Shepherd. If you don't see it - I can't make you - but the evidence is all around you.Susan Kosseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952880912440566103.post-72400992814843430282010-07-04T00:07:26.234+02:002010-07-04T00:07:26.234+02:00Susan, thanks for your comment.
The memory of that...Susan, thanks for your comment.<br />The memory of that jesus is rampant all over people's new testaments... which is also the <b>only</b> source since no historic source validates even the existence of this jesus.<br /><br />Though many try to use the Josephus quote as though that was "historic validation". Check the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica which admits the <b>only</b> source for the jesus story is the greek writings. :-)Henrik V Blunckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977028543812049468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952880912440566103.post-4762828753794173552010-07-04T00:03:39.659+02:002010-07-04T00:03:39.659+02:00WizWom, you write: "Well, technically, the fo...WizWom, you write: "Well, technically, the forgetting him didn't start until the people he trained died, too."<br /><br />That isn't correct because the majority of those he trained are still alive - as witnessed by the numerous splintersHenrik V Blunckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977028543812049468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952880912440566103.post-54769119970220412652010-07-03T23:32:24.352+02:002010-07-03T23:32:24.352+02:00Interesting that the Romans tried to erase the mem...Interesting that the Romans tried to erase the memory of Jesus Christ, the disciples were all martyred excepting John, and the memory of many important disciples since have been forgotten by those who simply did not care.<br /><br />How can one forget if they know that what that person stood for was the Word of God? God certainly does not forget. That is why there is something called 'the Ressurrection.' It is there that people will realize that they did not have the last word here on earth.Susan Kosseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952880912440566103.post-21672857434620656832010-07-02T14:05:55.688+02:002010-07-02T14:05:55.688+02:00Well, technically, the forgetting him didn't s...Well, technically, the forgetting him didn't start until the people he trained died, too.WizWomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780003008394222841noreply@blogger.com
