As always Frank rocks in the way he answers. I didn't expect that he would say we can't prove Christianity is false, just like any other pastor. But he clearly admitted it that it can be proven wrong and a scriptural reference is - 1 Corinthians 15:14-19 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Christians can't be talked out of having met the risen Lord and having had our hearts and lives changed by Him. If someone has an intellectual belief then they can be talked out if it. Having been born again by grace through faith cannot be undone. Once you've been given eyes to see, you can't be blind again not knowing what it is to see. There's no going back and praise God, I'll never want to.

But like you, they couldn’t be talked out of it at the time, they had to take the difficult journey of discovering the bible was false first. The fact you say you couldn’t be talked out of it, shows how stubborn and closed minded you are.

you believe many historical events that were cataloged in history based on eyewitnesses who lived in the time period. theres literally more paperwork found that details Jesus life than Socrates and Plato. just because something is supernatural and you have not heard of it before doesn't mean it can't be true. there's a lot of crazy animals in the rainforest that I wouldn't have believe existed had I not seen the video. I'm being a hyperbolic of course I believe it but they're very strange. if you do the work of investigating all the science and archeology and history pertaining to Christianity you'll be able to see it too.

Finding Jesus's still dead body would show that he didn't however we can look at the history of the issue to see what evidence there is for and against. The Nazareth Inscription for example is an unusual inscription by the romans, typically the penalty for theft is 2-4 fold what you stole. The inscription dates back to 40AD and states that the punishment for stealing a body is death, the inscription is slightly after when Jesus would have died and is an admission that the Romans lost Jesus's body. Any explanation of what happened would need to account for that fact, along with other facts that I could bring up that historians base their theories around.

@@jeffphelps1355 Assuming the gospel accounts are true (where they don't contradict each other), I think it is likely the Romans didn't care. The troublemaker had been executed, and his band was keeping quiet. Don't forget the disciples did not preach the resurrection in Jerusalem. They went back to Galilee according to some of the gospels or stayed in Jerusalem according to Acts, but in any case they kept to themselves until the Pentecost. When they did start preaching, the Romans apparently had lost interest and left the policing of their own religious matters up to the Jews themselves, which presumably is why Stephen gets stoned and not crucified, and why someone like Paul gets sent to the Jewish community in Damascus to make sure the heretics are kept in check.

RetroMan I've look at every historian writings of that era. The most popular pick of historians is Josephus. Titus Flavius Josephus some folks like to use Josephus Flavius as a proof that jesus existed, for he mentions jesus in a short paragraph. The problem is, the numbers DON'T add up! Josephus was born Yosef ben Matityahu in 37 CE and died 100 CE. Most scholars assume the year jesus death was between 30 and 36 CE. this means that Josephus and jesus where not contemporaries. Antiquities of the Jews was written between 93 and 94 CE, which is great distance in time from 36 CE. plus the passage that states that Jesus the Messiah was a wise teacher who was crucified by Pilate, usually called the Testimonium Flavianum, has been proven to be a interpolated text that does not exist in the original text from Josephus, and at best was hear say since Josephus was not a eye witness of jesus just as you are not. for IF Josephus really did know him, he would have written a lot more about him instead of the tiny paragraph that we have in the later writings. Josephus never writes about any of the claimed events of the greek new testament. with an investigative research that my family and i did on the historians like Tacitus, Pliny the Younger and others, we were able to prove that none of them where eye witnesses, everything was hear say or interpolated. we did what any court would do and view the evidence and make a collective judgement call based on the knowledge each person brought up, and we declared each claim to be falsehood of jesus in the external sources. if the tiny paragraph of jesus is interpolated into Josephus's writings, who put it there? The earliest reference to the "Testimonium Flavanum" is found in the writings of the fourth-century Christian apologist and historian Eusebius, who used Josephus' works extensively as a source for his own Historia Ecclesiastica, writing no later than 324 c.e. It has therefore been suggested that part or all of the passage may have been Eusebius' own invention, in order to provide an false outside Jewish authority for the life of Christ. Some argue that the wording in the Testimonium differs from Josephus' usual writing style and that as a Jew, he would not have used a word like Christos (Χριστός), at Josephus' time being the Greek term for "Messiah". Thus, the Testimonium Flavanum is a Christian interpolated text.

Christianity is theoretically falsifiable. Great. Let's try to falsify it. If it's true, it should stand up to falsification attempts without a problem. *Mark **11:23**-24* - _"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."_ Is this true or false? Have you put it to the test? Honestly and rigorously?

Ah, but have you thought about it?? Look again. "Truly I tell YOU..." The question is, who is the pronoun "you" referring to? Hint: the apostles, who are being prepared for ministry. The way the word "anyone" is translated is misleading, since it is referring to those being spoken to. It's not telling everyone you get super powers and anything you wish.

I think it's a lie to say that the resurrection can be disproved or Frank has very biased or limited imagination. Maybe he doesn't want there to be any other explanations than the supernatural one? There are scenarios where Jesus' body could be missing that don't require supernatural interventions, like: What if Jesus' body didn't exist in the first place or what if the disciples destroyed the body to make it look like the resurrection occurred?

​@The Comedian Just use your imagination. If Jesus was just a Jewish cult leader and not an actual supernatural being, to create "the messiah of the Jews" the earliest Christian cultists claimed that their cult leader "Yeshua" rose from the dead and then destroy the body if he actually was executed on a cross, so that no one could disprove their claims about the resurrection. They could just claim that he fulfilled the prophecies and performed miracles, although "Yeshua" didn't necessarily do anything what they write about him. So why would they do it? Perhaps they wanted their beloved cult leader back so much that they decided to make him "immortal", maybe it was their plan all along or maybe they just were delusional. Or maybe somebody just completely invented the story about the Jewish messiah. How do miracle stories usually begin? I guess we just need gullible people and someone to tell the stories.

Melech77 I don’t consider an old book of stories about gods and dragons remotely trustworthy. So even if you had eyewitness accounts in it they’re not trustworthy. But you haven’t even got that. Even if we were to assume the bible was true, you don’t have one eyewitness account that you could take into a courtroom.
