Christ was just a man. A very smart man who like many philosophers before him studied many cultures and ideology's. Incorporating them into his own personal beliefs. Using logic and misdirection he was able to convince many that he could to do god like healing. But the best magic trick of all time was the fact that years later there are those that still believe that he will rise up again. They have made many movie about the dead waking....Dawn of the dead...zombies....ect. I guess they are God like too? After all If Christ were to have risen...he would be killed on site for being a zombie...

yes, historical documents show that many have seen Jesus. the Bible gives reference to this as well as a historian named Josephus, who wasn't a Christian but just wrote what he himself witnessed during the time of Christ.

I suppose you mean Lazarus, who was raised from the dead by Jesus. Interestingly, the Bible makes no mention of him dying a second time, although it is clearly understood that he did. However, there were several other Bible characters who were raised from the dead as well.

Yes, I firmly believe Jesus died and rose from the dead.  I believe also that this is why we celebrate Easter.  The bunny and egg thing just came around to entertain the kiddos.

Well, what a special story. You set Christianity back at least 50  years.  I can picture the Christians rolling their eyes back now. LMAO.

Christian were first establish about 24 days after Christs death.  In the same city that they crucified him...  They realized that he was the true messiah when he raised from the dead... they had seen him do miracles.... that they had seen the signs and wonders... and had seen that Christ fulfilled every old Testament prophesy.  So.. they became his followers even after his death and resurrection.

Yes, definitely. You must do research about the the "dying & resurrecting" god. Long before Jesus, there were traditions all over the world of a god who died and was resurrected! Mithras is one of the most famous. Jesus is just the latest in a long line of gods/kings who sacrificed their lives for the land/people. Do a search on GOOGLE for: Osiris, Adonis, Tamuz/Tamuzi, Mithra, Iao, Hesus, Quexalcote, Quirinus, Prometheus, Thulis, Indra, Alcestos, Atys, Crite, and Bali. You can participate in the mass as a ceremony of worshipping the most recent "Dying and Resurrecting" God. And, of course, Mother Mary is the Mother Goddess. The mass is still a very potent spiritual ceremony if you understand how Jesus connects with so many other gods in the past!

I believe there is a high likelyhood that a man name jesus exhisted and did much good in his time, just like i believe in the doctors of today who do good. \n\nNow as to him being some holy being, that I don't quite believe in because it doesn't make alot of sense to me, just as I wouldn't believe in a doctor brought a corpse back to life. \n(not talking about people who are legally dead for a few minutes because that happens somewhat often with today's science.. I mean someone whos really dead.. REALLY REALLY dead.)

Actually, there is abundant evidence that the historical Jesus existed that is entirely apart from the records of the apostolic-era Christian community.  Much of the best evidence comes from detractors of the new Christian sect of Judaism, such as the Roman Jewish historian Flavius Josephus. \n\nIt seems clear that the historical Jesus definitely existed.  The degree to which this historical figure bears any resemblance to the very different portrayals of Jesus in different Christian traditions is a matter of personal belief.  \n\nYou may want to read books about the "historical Jesus," such as the famous classic by Massey.

Definitely:\n\nMany noted critical historians, such as Shaye Cohen, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, John Meiers, E.P. Sanders, and Geza Vermes argue that Jesus lived from about 8-4 BC/BCE to 29-36 AD/CE. The main sources regarding his life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels from the New Testament, which took written form some decades after his death. They depict him – among many other things – as a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities , and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After his death numerous followers spread his teachings, and within a few decades Christianity emerged as a religion distinct from Judaism.\n\nBeyond the historical information accepted by most secular scholars, the gospels make various additional claims about Jesus: that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible); that he was the son of God; that his birth by Mary was virginal; and that after his crucifixion he rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Most Christians hold that the Gospels also attribute divinity to Jesus; however, others hold that the Gospels are equivocal on the subject. Many Christians and some scholars believe that the accounts in the New Testament are historical facts, though others maintain that different parts have different degrees of accuracy, and a few hold Jesus did not exist at all.

Jesus was not only "divine" but was ans is Deity Incarnate.\n\nMany have claimed that they are Christ, or that they are "god".\n\nJesus died (delivered for our offences) and was raised the third day (for our justification) and He, though dead, now is Alive forevermore.\n\nAfter His Resurrection, "he showed himself alive by many infallible proofs".\n\nWhile He as on earth, as the Bible records, "and many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, the which are not written in this book, but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God ... and that by believing you may have Life in His name."

Yes, Jesus really did die. There are historical accounts of people who died from being scourged, let alone being crucified. Finally, the spear that stabbed Jesus in the chest produced a flow of "blood and water" (Gospel of John). That wound, forensic scientists tells us today would be lethal in itself (the watery fluid indicates that it was near the heart or lung cavity). Roman soldiers were trained in the art of execution. They would know when the person had died. So, yes, he really was dead.\n\nJesus died and was raised to life. It was a physical resurrection. While his body still bore at least some of the marks from the Crucifixion (nails through the hands/wrist & pierced side), it is likely that they were \nin a "healed state". Jesus appeared to over 500 people after his resurrection, and the church grew rapidly soon after. \n\nThere are those who try to offer the "coma" or "swoon" theory. Aside from it being physically impossible given his wounds, he certainly would not have been an inspiring site in claiming to be resurrected! The disciples that Jesus appeared to were transformed from being "scared that they were next", to men that went out and boldly preached the message of his resurrection. Most suffered extremely painful/horrible deaths for their convictions. Christianity grew so rapidly that within 30 years it had reached Rome -- which contained hundreds of believers... extending even into Nero Caesar's household.

Well there is historical proof.  There is more historical evidence for the life and existence of Jesus than for Alexander the great, Julius Ceasar, Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates.  \nHowever Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection.  When the gospels were first written they were done in the lifetimes of those who were aware of the claims of Christ's resurrection, (the latest gospel was written about 90 AD).  The gospels as well as many of the epistles make the claim that Jesus rose from the dead, some of them even claim that He was seen alive by over 500 witnesses.  There are no refutations of these claims written during that same time period.  Even secular historians such as Josephus and Tacitus wrote about Christianity and Jesus, and neither of them refutes the claim of the resurrection.\nSo to put it in context there is more evidence for Christianity than for many of the court cases that are resolved today.\nHowever; as of yet, we still have no way to "Prove" the resurrection without a shadow of a doubt to skeptics and those who will not accept the historical record, thus Christianity becomes a matter of faith and a belief system, much as evolution, communism, socialism, or any other religion.  People believe it based on the evidence they are aware of, or they believe based on their choice.\nAn evolutionist is no different, they believe in a hypothosis because they do not want to accept another explanation of human life.  Evolution has not been completely "proved" it has a lot of holes and short commings, yet thousands continue to believe in it.  It's really no different than Christianity, or any other religion.  So to answer your question:  "Can Christianity be proved?"  The answer is yes... to some who look at the historical evidence, the archeaological evidence, the anthropological evidence, the evidence of changed lives, and other things.  The answer is also no... to those who believe that such findings are inconclusive and inadequate, and who do not want to believe in a Creator and Sovereign Judge of the universe.

It's an interesting book of fiction, but it is factually absurd. There is plenty of real evidence of the biblical account of Jesus' life. I suggest also reading the book, "Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel. It is very enlightening!
