The Christian God is more likely to exist than Pagan Gods

My opponent obviously has no good arguments so he tries to tell us that Jesus never existed. I am sorely disappointed by this but what can I do ? O Arguments for the Christian God "even clarified that they need not even "lie" to resolve the problem,but may simply have not even existed!" Are you trying to tell me that thousands of Christians who claimed to have seen (not the same as believe) Jesus resurrect, didn't exist ? No further comment. "This isn't my responsibility (nor do I even have room with 8,000 characters) to refute all of the arguments on all of the links my opponent has posted." Nor could you considering that most scholars think that Jesus existed, whatever he was a man or God is more controversial. Also the questions are in a way a proof of Jesus existence. For example, how could Jesus followers claim to have seen Jesus resurrect if he didn't exist furthermore how could the religion grow with such an obvious flaw ? What about the empty tomb which was found - most scholars agree this to have happened ? Would Christian opponents say that they stole Jesus body if Jesus didn't exist ? I have made a good comparison between "The Jesus Myth" and "The Da Vinci Code" both are flawed in logic but both are popular. I don't see a reason to tell you why but Ill throw in few anyway: ego boost, they didn't do any real research hence now they think they found gold (my classmate is like that) or they wanted to "broaden their mind" by seeing the same point of view, again. There's no good reason to believe Jesus didn't exist, there's a good reason to believe that some people simply want to hear views which appeal to them hence misinformation like "Jesus Myth" is produced, however, flimsy ideas shouldn't be considered in a debate like this. "Jesus's existence is, in fact, strongly debated among scholars today." This is a funny joke, most scholars in fact accept Jesus existence. Scholars debate Jesus existence ? This again is laughable and I challenge my opponent to provide valid links. Yes, I am aware of the crusades by "The Truth Searchers" but they're a bunch of random, average people ; blogs made by Atheist aren't convincing. "I rebutted this and offered contrary evidence to this statement proving that Jesus was, in fact, NOT foretold by the O.T. See my previous post." Do I have to quote what I said in the first round again ? "there are different hypothesis concerning "WHY" the tomb was empthy, even if it was in fact empty:" Then he introduce the swoon theory whereby a man who is tortured and battered then pierced with a spear, survives for 3 days without food and water, somehow pushes the stone seal and then runs away without leaving a trace (secretly so that guards wouldn't see) to random people while appearing healthy and fine while claiming to be resurrected. You ought to be crazy not to chuckle at this. After that he introduces the stolen body theory. If this is true then there was no resurrection but even dismissing the guards who are protecting the tomb (its life or death situation for them) this is impossible. My opponent is telling me that the Jesus followers stole the body and then died because they declared his resurrection. He is also dismissing all the other eyewitnesses of his resurrection. What about James ? The brother of Jesus who was always a critic would convert now that he is sure Jesus wasn't God and suffer for it ? http://www.resurrection.azprophecy.com... "o. There is one Messiah but the prophecies will be fulfilled at different times? This isn't stated in either the O.T. or the N.T. And the O.T. seems to be the source of what my opponent is basing his prophecy argument on. So, if the O.T> doesn't state that the prophecies will be fulfilled at different times then I don't see how my opponent can make that argument. He is making up stuff as he goes along." My opponent dared to say this "He is making up stuff as he goes along" anyhow my opponent is making the usual argument despite my obvious explanation in round one... Just why ? "The prophecy is conditional? Please clarify this." I don't see how I can rephrase this... There are some conditions that must be fulfilled before a prophecy happens. Namely, Jesus can't be the ruler before he is the saver of mankind. Well I leave the rest to my readers, Cheerio
