The existence of a Biblical God

Existed imply it used to exist, and existence of Biblical God is the topic. Existed argument.From scientific evidence we understand the Roman Empire once existed. We cannot show it exists today by presenting a Roman Caesar, but we know the Roman Empire changed over time into a Catholic Roman State.Modern Rome is evidence of the former Catholic Roman Empire, and although we cannot prove the previous Roman Empires exists from this, we can provide proof that it did change.To say simply, though something previous existed, then changed to what we today recognize to exist, doesn't mean what formerly existed has no evidence to currently exist today.An example would be the last surviving male by the name of Steve, then later loses both legs and changes his name to SteveN. It would be ignorant to say Steve no longer exists due to physical and name change. That man indeed exists.Granted this example and argument cannot be applied to all scientific fields, it does conclude that evidence for the former is useful for the present.Jesus.Ancient historians cannot find any shred of evidence against Jesus' existence, and all agree Jesus Christ of Nazareth has more historical evidence then Alexander the Great.The evidence to support Jesus claim to deity and supreme authority over death, is the resurrection and unexplainable explosion of a cult who followed a risen Lord. Regardless of theories to the cause, the evidence supports explosion of the faith as a historical event that influenced the world.Secular Roman writings record the founding principle of their message, that Jesus is worshiped as God who rose from the dead. Islamic ideologies confirm Christian doctrine that Jesus was witnessed after his death by hundreds. But Islam wanted to correct Christian doctrine by insisting Allah created a delusion for them, and Jesus didn't die.Islamic teaching may no appear valid for this conversation, but it's important to note social beliefs of the time. Islam began around the end of the 7th CE, nearly 700 years after Jesus was witnessed by many. Yet the belief remained constant, adding credibility to original claims.Other such examples are the execution of all but one disciple John. Unlike other cult followings where peer pressure is used to assist mass suicide by drowning or poison, the twelve disciplines suffered separately. Living with the knowledge that torture and death is their ultimate reality, it would seriously question anyone's wiliness to continue unless genuine. If the twelve disciples were killed within the same year, it could be from zealous fervour and charisma. However the deaths were as follows.James 44 A.D - Phillip 54 - James the lesser 63 - Peter 64 -Paul 67.Matthew 60-70 - Andrew 70 - Thomas 70 - Barnabas 70 - Matthias 70.Judas Thaddeus 72 - Simon 74.John died of old age at 95AD. Although it's reported they tried to stone and boil him to death but failed. Eventually exiled to Pathos.Barnabas was faced with the choice to renounce his witness of Jesus the risen Lord. Or be skinned alive (flayed) then killed without peer pressure cheering him on. It raises a serious logical question about how serious his claim is. His claim was, he also witnessed Jesus rise from the dead.James it's recorded:Clemens Alexandrinus and Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History II.2) both tell how the executioner witnessed the courage and un-recanting spirit of James and was then convinced of Christ resurrection and was executed along with James.The executioner was convinced of the resurrection of Christ by the visible determination shown by James, that he saw Jesus risen body.http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org...http://www.reclaimingthemind.org...Criticism.It goes without saying, and need not to mention humans wiliness to die for religion such as Islam. But what's important to note is the disciples willingness to torture and death for what they witnessed. It begs a serious question when Barnabas is facing flaying alive because of a lie, how serious is his testimony? I wonder how many liars in court would confess as the skin on their spin is peeled off. These events deserve serious consideration.Claims of JesusTaking into account of Steve/Steven used in my example, we've already asserted he's the last surviving male. But what if Steven claims to a female only tribe in the Amazon that he's the last surviving male? Claims without evidence mean nothing, unless there's proof. In Stevens case, he'd need proof no other male lives currently, or if the Amazon tribe rejects his claim - which ultimately cause all human life to die due to lack of reproduction, we'd conclude Stevens claim was almost certainly true. Obviously it can be said it's not entirely true that the death of all human life due to lack of males, it could be because Bob who lived in a cave never met the Amazon tribe. However it doesn't disprove Stevens claim, but indicates it's most defiantly certain Steven was the last male.Jesus claimed to be God, and would rise after death, and he'd be with Christian followers whenever they met. Jesus explained change would occur for Him and his followers. The disciplines claimed to witness Jesus in a heavenly body, with scares and ability to walk through walls and appear suddenly and even eat food.If credible historical events confirm his claim to rise from death in three days, then his claim must be carefully reviewed.Jesus existed to existence.If their is enough evidence to support the claims of the historical Jesus who existed, and historical accounts from Rome, Islam and common society that remained consistently throughout time. Then Jesus claim to overcome death and be God in the flesh cannot be easily ignored. The historical account of the explosion of Christian faith and death of disciples begin to accumulate momentum that Jesus claim was almost certainly creditable.
