Words of Comfort: Shakespeare. To those who say that there’s no evidence that Jesus existed, I would ask what evidence is there that Shakespeare existed. I’m sure they would say that we have the words of Shakespeare as proof. If he didn’t write them, who did? I would say the same of Jesus. Who said such incredibly wonderful words? Was it Matthew, Mark, Luke or John? Was it someone else? Whoever it was should be worshipped as God, because His words were divine and without precedent. The statement of the skeptic should rather be "I don’t believe THE EVIDENCE for the existence of Jesus." I would also ask the person who thinks that Jesus never existed what year it is. It's been 2,000 years "since Christ" (AD). There's a good clue. Of course, some don’t like to use "AD." They prefer "CE," which stands for "Common Era." That's how (in their minds) they get rid of Jesus. Those of you who are CE folks should know that you are in agreement with another group who refuse to worship Jesus—the Jehovah's Witnesses. They have been using CE in their literature since April, 1964.

When will this OP be sensible? Okay, let's say there's equally no solid evidence for the existence of Shakespeare. That justifies living your life according to the dictates of someone we have no solid evidence for his existence? Let's ignore that. Many scholars believe Shakespeare wrote his plays, what did Jesus write? Where is it? How do you make comparison between the two? 1 Like |

rationalmind: When will this OP be sensible? Shakespeare's plays could have been forged, your ancestors didn't write books. What else have you got? |

UyiIredia:I actually wanted to see what evidence the op was referring to but I found none and then muskeeto's joke made perfect sense. Jesus and Shakespeare should not be compared in this manner. It is just wrong. |

UyiIredia:Yeah, its probable his plays were forged. That isn't an argument against his existence. The birth of Jesus stands reason on its head; that he was give birth to by a virgin mother impregnated by some sort of holy extraterrestrial. Imagine if your classmate told you that story. You could as well make a case for Superman's existence or Spongebob Squarepants. 1 Like |

Let's go again but this time using Abraham Lincoln. The fact that Abraham Lincoln was born, became president, or was assassinated cannot be proven using scientific methods. To be scientific it must be repeatable (as in the testing of gravity). The proofs that Lincoln did exist and was a historical figure are: 1. The written evidence, 2. Eyewitness testimony, 3. Physical evidence that remains to this day at the Ford Theatre, birth records and newspaper articles regarding his election. All these facts are acceptable in a court of law as proof to a judge and jury. Garry T. Ansdell (D.D.) made a case out of this when he stated that "The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is evidential: 1. the empty tomb still exists, 2. His birth record is documented all the way back to Adam and Eve, 3. the four Gospels record His death; 4. the location, even the names of the political leaders who sentenced Him are historically recorded; 5. there were more than five hundred eyewitnesses who saw Jesus after the resurrection, recorded by the New Testament writers; 6. the very existence of the Christian faith, based on His death and resurrection; 7. the cultural and political evidence at the time, including the Roman calender separating all of time into Before Christ (B.C.) and in the year of our Lord (A.D.)." 1 Like |
