    Your comment suggested you were talking about "faith" in a god or God as learned as a child from family. Maybe you weren't. I should've asked first. I can't follow the reasoning of the last sentence you wrote. I didn't state "one needs definitive proof." I offered the testimony of witnesses as proof. That's how most juries decide cases. You asked for something outside of eyewitness testimony. There are 20k+ manuscripts (in various languages) that have been found, some from only 100 years after the originals. The text of the witnesses is virtually the same today as it was before the year 200. The same scribal accuracy is found with the writings of Homer and Hippocrates. A Roman historian named Gaius Suetonius Tranquillas, who was the chief secretary of Emperor Hadrian and who had access to the imperial records, mentions Jesus in a section he wrote concerning the reign of Emperor Claudius. He refers to Christ using the variant spelling of "Chrestus." "Because the Jews at Rome caused continuous disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he (Claudius) expelled them from the city" (ibid., chapter entitled "Ancient Historians"). "Cornelius Tacitus (AD 55-120) is often called the “greatest historian” of ancient Rome (he called Christianity "the destructive superstition"). He authored two large works — the Annals and the Histories. Much of what he wrote is now lost to us. Fortunately, there’s one remaining portion which is of interest to this discussion. The portion describes Nero blaming the Christians for the great fire of Rome (AD 64). It reports: Therefore, to stop the rumor, Nero substituted as culprits and punished in the utmost refinements of cruelty, a class of men, loathed for their vices, whom the crowd styled Christians. Christus, the founder of the name, had undergone the death penalty in the reign of Tiberius, by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilatus, and the pernicious superstition was checked for a moment, only to break out once more, not merely in Judea, the home of the disease, but in the capital itself, where all things horrible or shameful in the world collect and find a vogue.1" link (All of this corroborates to what the witnesses of the Bible testified.) First century Jewish historian, Josephus, (one of 10 governors in Jerusalem elected to oversee the war against Rome in late 60s AD) mentions Jesus twice in his writings. link The Pilate Stone was found in 1961, a limestone block with an inscription referencing "Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea." Pilate, of course, is named in the Bible as the one who sentenced Jesus to crucifixion for rebellion against the state. Lots of emperical truth out there, to include excavations. Shroud of Turin was just dated to the time of Jesus.

    In the last half of Acts 5, the apostles are rounded up and arrested for preaching about Jesus in the temple in Jerusalem. One of the religious leaders suggested the council leave the apostles be and that the movement would die out if it wasn't real. They agreed, and let them go with a beating and an admonition. One of the greatest lines ever written says... Act 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame (disgrace) for his name (Jesus).

    Hinduism has 330 million gods. Buddhism has 5. Muslims, Jews, and Christians have one, yet with varying tenets as to the One God. Only Christianity presents witnesses who testify of the One God making Himself human and entering creation. One can be logically led to the water. Only faith will allow one to drink.

    Did anyone find out what the "hidden messaging" was supposed to be? And if DOJ is involved, then it's .gov money being run through a couple LLCs and one of them has a Russian name.

    Venezuela gangs take over parts of Aurora

    When fjb meets with the gang members from venezuela on Tues (after his vaca) in the apartment building they terrorized, do you think they will.... Kill him with the weapons they obtained legally.... Kill him with the weapons they obtained illegally.... or Thank him for the free apartments they obtained with weapons they obtained legally... Thank him for the free apartments they obtained with weapons they obtained illegally? or They've never heard of him. It's a poll. Also Jared Polis is one of them. Anyone who votes for a Democrat is one of them.

    It is one of the theories...dispensational futurism. It moves the 70th week of Daniel out to the future, as opposed to the 70th week following the 69th week, like Monday following Sunday (non-dispensational). It originated from a Jesuit commentary (Ribera) at the end of the 16th century to take the moniker of antichrist off the pope (the one at that time). Most of modern understanding comes from the notes in the Scofield reference bible. Again, from the notes, not the bible part of it. The "Left Behind" series adheres to this notion.

    I stopped watching weekly when Gordon and Jr retired. It's fun to watch these restrictor plate races, though. I like the look of the new Fords.
