I wouldn't believe even if jesus got into my head, and shot lasers out of his eyes

Hypothetical questions such as this are counter productive and prove nothing.

I don't believe in god so it does not matter to me.

If it were possible for the devil to prove that, he already would have

If it was proved that jesus was real and alive.... Would you still be acting like a fool and not believe?

If someone claimed that they proved that I wouldn't believe them. Jesus was who he says he was.

We cannot be proven materialistically, since he is not materialist. I would say yes.

No such proof exists. Christianity is about love not fact, at least it should be.

Many people already believe that & believe to have "proven " it in their own way. Though none w/ o fault. "More than a Carpenter " by Josh Mcdowell. Read it & deal with it

They've been trying to do that for the last 2,000 years, without success.

Difficult this one! I would say that Jesus is the only religious person to have not made any money for himself from religion, so He cannot have been a fraud.

Why not produce Jesus first?

Firstly proven how, scientifically or historically? If you mean through review of historical archives then I would take the information with a certain level of skepticism as I do with many things (including aspects of my own beliefs). I wouldn't just completely give up my beliefs because we all know the changeability of things that are uncovered after re-evaluation in history. That type of allegation would have to stand for a while with out being debunked for me to accept it, a couple of years at least. And as far as scientific proof we must understand the changeablity of scietific data as well. I mean pluto was a planet for 80 years up until about a year ago so it's not the proof but rather how well it stands. Just as I am sure you wouldn't automatically believe someone claiming to have proof for God even if they showed you such proof because you would have to see if it can actually hold water. Now if such a thing were to occur I would still believe in God, there are many different views of God posed by many different spiritual philosophies. Just because you take one religious figure out of the picture doesn't mean you erase all possibilities of divinity and a celestial plain. As for following Christianity I would say I would still have respect for the lessons it has in it. I would still follow the teachings of togetherness, peace, love, positivity, and charity but perhaps I would find another path to spirituality. Peace and Blessings = )

No Christ .....no christianity .......simple

Flawed premise. It can not and will not ever be proved to be fraudulent or an illusion. Exodus 3 (Amplified Bible) 14And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! Psalm 41 (Amplified Bible) 13Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever]! Amen and Amen (so be it). Psalm 90 (Amplified Bible) 2Before the mountains were brought forth or ever You had formed and given birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting You are God. Isaiah 9 (Amplified Bible) 6For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace. Deuteronomy 4 (Amplified Bible) 24For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Deuteronomy 6 (Amplified Bible) 4Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord [the only Lord]. Deuteronomy 10 (Amplified Bible) 17For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, the terrible God, Who is not partial and takes no bribe.

Its been proved to me because I read the bible and through my own research and I left xtianity for good - as much as I stopped believing in santa. Once the spell is broken, you can't possibly believe it again. I turned to the teaching of Judaism since jesus taught mythology and paganism but was supposed to be Jewish. In a strange way, jesus (not jesus, but the anonymous gospel writers) does lead to Judaism if you pay attention - did for me anyway. I believe in the God of Israel - a God that has no definition but is revealed to us as the natural order of the universe and is revealed to us by scientific revelations. Reality and education enhances Judaism making it completely compatible with reality, something xtianity cannot claim.

I would believe in god not jesus if it could be proved jesus was a fraud.

Posted by: Angel SA on 2010-01-09, 14:10:20

There is NO WAY that can be proven that Jesus was a fraud/ illusionist like you suggest, because it He was it would have been proven by now; WISHFUL THINKING! I will always believe in God, Jesus Christ and in Christianity. You must have the darkest heart in the world like all the other unbelievers. Don't worry, you will be burning in hell as promised to the nonbeliever! GOD BLESS! AMEN! SHALOM!

That is not going to happen Jesus is alive and living his lfe in and through us today. that is your choice to not believe and you will remain dead untile you come to Jesus by faith, because we are ll born into this world dead spiritualy romans 5:12

Posted by: whirlingmerc on 2010-01-09, 14:53:50

That would be a non reality because the evidense is overwhelmingly that - even Jesus enemies agreed Jesus did miracles - Jesus died on a cross - the grave was empty shortly after - his disciple so strongly believed he rose that they were willing to die themselves - the prophets agree - acreology agrees
