Seriously, what's your view:

Here’s your chance to “convert� me! Seriously, no “takers�, here??? :huh:

I love playing diaboli advocatus but what you are asking is about as difficult as the almighty omnipotent creator, making up a story that even He couldn't swallow.
what a conundrum! :notworthy

Jehanne

simply for a “believer� to answer Professor Sheehan’s analysis! Are there no "believers" on this board???? No one here can provide an answer, a rebuttal or even a response??? It is difficult to question Professor Sheehan's credentials:

Okay, play "diaboli advocatus" if you will! :devil3:

Jehanne

Is there a conservative Christian on this board who is just willing to read Professor Sheehan’s article. You do not have to reply to it, just “take the challenge� and read it from beginning to end. Any takers?

Hi Jehanne,

What do you like about this article? It is just standard Jesus Seminar stuff that chucks out all the evidence, makes some new stuff up and then tells a wishy-washy story around it.

He assumes against the Gospels, the disciples fled Jerusalem. He assumes against the Gospels, they didn't know where he was buried. He assumes, against the Gospels that the resurrection was all in the mind.

You don't have to believe what the Gospels say. But why should any Christian care about some professor who feels he can play fast and loose with the evidence and if all else fails just make it up?

So, the conservative Christian responce is just to shrug and wait for the next badly thought out revisionist article to come out...

Yours

Bede

Bede, above are a few assertions that should be easy to disprove. Please do so!

Jehanne

Okay, great! Here's a list of "witnesses" who said that aliens landed at Roswell:

Okay, did aliens really land at Roswell? And, if not, which "event" do you believe is more likely, that Jesus really "rose" from the dead or that the Earth really was visited by extraterrestrials back in 1947? Or, are the Gospels more about "believing" for the sake of belief?

Bede

Jehanne,

Oh, I see. It's bait and switch.

Look, would you like to discuss the article or not? If not, then please start a thread on Roswell and stop wasting my time. Your tactics are disingenuous.

I can say that I had sex with the Virgin Mary who came to my bed in corporeal form but would anyone here, yourself included, believe me? Okay, let's talk about the article. In earlier post, you used the word "evidence". Okay, define evidence.
