Your right, there is no where that specific, besides the Bible. He may be referring to the likes of Hercules who became a full god from demi god in mythology or something of the like.

But your absolutely right, there is no where, where it gets as specific as Christianity.

btw, we still have yet to hear any names Luis.....

true, but hercules never promised to die for the sins of the people. that is what he claimed, Christianity is not the only one who has this.

Agreed, but my point is he is grasping at straws in saying there are others. There clearly are not.

There are a lot of testomony of people that been abducted by aliens, we can talk to them now and also they are writting in books. Now should I believe them. They are alive right now and we can confirm.

And about prophecy, im not gonna lie to you i promised you.
My girlfriend can see the future, she isnt christian and she dont believes in the devil either. All of the prediction she told me, they happened, so prophecy means nothing to me because the mayans also did the same thing.
We have a written document called the Constitution of the United States, written over 225 years ago that is in force as we speak. No one from that era is living today but we can confirm the authority of this document as we live in the principles and dictates of that document every day. It has a certain amount of authority over us as it also gives us liberty and assurance that we have a form of protection as individuals complimented by the Bill of Rights and a Declaration of Independence.

But we have a greater authority given to man through the inspiration of the written Scriptures that is backed by God through the power of His Holy Spirit. It was demonstrated when Moses was commissioned by God to lead the people of God out of the land of Egypt and bring them into a promised land over 4,000 years ago. God spoke to Moses and his brother Aaron to lead this multitude of people. These Israelites were represented by twelve tribes and adhered to the word that came to Moses that eventually became the law of the Torah, even as it is to this day. This authority and power was represented by a cloud by day and a fire by night that lead them in the wilderness.

The Jews have believed and practiced the Torah even being dispersed and without a temple. They have believed in an everlasting covenant that was made to them by God and have become a nation once again. They are in unbelief concerning Christ being the Messiah, but they have not forsaken the Torah that established them as a people under God's law. This was established and promised by God's trustworthy word with the power to make it happen. I don't think you mean that your girlfriend has the power to make a prophecy or predict the future and also has the power to make it happen. God would not make promises without the power to make them come to past. By what power does you girlfriend's predictions happen?

The constitution is different than the bible because the just ordinary writting, but the bible is extraordinary claims so it need more evidence.
I dont see people walking on water, people talking from heaven, people getting heal instantly with a shadow. Thats the difference. So you need extraordinary evidence

lol, thats where faith comes in.

what we do have with the bible is every historical things spoken of, even things men said did not happen, has been proven to be accurate.

no other book can claim this.

Look at archeological digs, which continue to prove things said in the bible actually happened. An example. they said King David never existed, or his dynasty. Yet in the last few years they have found things which prove he did exist and was king.

I doubt it. Cuz it has happen before. The noah ark has been found like 8 times before. So yea.
But if is true good, that doesnt make the bible claims real.

Many people from many other religions have 'eye witness accounts' and have died for their gods too.

Does that make all of them true too?
You said there was no evidence.

For me, I think the thing that makes me trust the Scriptures so much is that these are real people who gave their lives for what they KNEW they had seen Christ do and say.
No one would die for a lie; it profits no one. This along with the fulfillment of prophecies, the historical and archeological accuracy of the Bible, the fact that the Bible has remained unaltered for thousands of years, creationism and intelligent design do fit in with what we know of science, and also the fact that there's nothing in the Bible that has or can be falsified and proven to be untrue gives me all the faith I need.

But like I said, what really gets me is that the apostles/disciples actually gave their lives for their testimonies of Christ; they had nothing to gain from lying about Jesus and being killed for it - time and time again they were given the chance to renounce their claims and testimonies of Christ, but they stuck to it and were willing to die because they KNEW what they saw!

I'm not sure an unbeliever would call this "proof" but it's certainly convincing to me.
Well you know, some extreme
Muslims would give their lives in bombings for what they believe - doesn't make it true. I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here, lol, just showing that
there is a hole in that argument.
No hole whatsoever in Scary's argument.

Let's stay on his point.

Muslims die for what they believe, not for what they know is a lie.

Early Christians who saw the things recorded in the NT died for what they believed because they saw it,
they didn't die for made-up stories (2Pe 1:16, 2:3) they knew were a lie.

That is most compelling evidence for the truth of what they report.

Contrare. . .

That is evidence.

That my fingerprints were all over the crime scene is evidence.
That I live there is also evidence.

You really don't understand evidence, do you?

Personal testimony is evidence in court.

Some convictions have been based mostly in personal testimony.

Please present an example of those eye-witness accounts.
