What proof is there that Jesus was the Son of God?
The bible is what is called “Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not! There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record – that is right – not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah – all of whom are well recorded! There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death! He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record? Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death! Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would
There is NONE. We know the Codex Sinaiticus (includes one of the oldest complete copy of the NT) is not the same as the modern Bibles being thrown around. These modern Bibles are a load of rubbish and paint an overly divine picture what happened. There are HUGE differences. Not little minor difference Christians will claim. Codex Sinaiticus shows NOTHING about Jesus being God or the holy trinity – doesn’t even hint towards said conclusion. On top of that, there is NO valid archaeological evidence whatsoever about Jesus. All of their beliefs rest in the hands of Josephus who provided 2 accounts of Jesus. 1 (which happened to be the most in-depth account) was proven to be a forgery, and the second one is so vague (also debatable whether there was some forgery involved) that it could apply to literally anyone. There’s also quite a big deal of controversy about whether Paul actually wrote his parts of the Bible. On top of that, just because ONE person says he’s this divine being doesn’t ma
Regarding your assertion that Jesus was “just like Billy Graham” and asking “Did God come down in person and say that Jesus was His son?” here are some Biblical verses to suggest otherwise: “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son: hear him.'” [Luke 9:35] “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'” [Matthew 3:17] Nothing like that ever happened to Billy Graham or any other modern preacher or other supposed messiah. There were 500 witnesses who reported Jesus risen from the dead (1 Corinthians 15,) and also all the accounts of miracles. None of the prophets of God EVER did anything like raising people from the dead and giving sight to the blind. This is what shows Jesus’s divinity.
There’s no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed. The story of Jesus is just a myth bolted together out of prophesy and stories from the Old Testament and previous myths — created in the 40’s and 50’s by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited evidence of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70’s or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming. Paul and the other epistle writers don’t know any biographical details of Jesus’ life, or even the time of his earthly existence. They don’t refer to Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Calvary or Golgotha — or any pilgrimages to what should have been holy sites of Jesus’ life. They also don’t mention any miracles that Jesus was supposed to have worked, his virgin birth, his trial, the empty tomb, his moral teachings, his disciples, or even when he existed. To them Jesus was largely a sky-god, who existed in the spiritual past. If Jesus had actual
When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, a voice came from the sky saying “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_o… Jesus also did many miracles during His ministry and He still does them today.
