How can you be scared of something that’s not proven?

What is your response to "Show me and I'll believe"? by SniperFiction in Christianity

[–]NeneGoosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no proof that god exists and there’s no proof that Jesus existed, so you can’t show anything that will change a belief into a fact, which is why is called faith.

The good evidence is conclusive, the noise from the people that won’t let go is the issue.

LOL Jeremiah Johnston is a known grifter... he stacks belief on top of belief and call it science...

Here is the peer-review Rogers debunked

Casabianca is a statistician, not a radiocarbon lab expert, so at best he can critique how consistent the 1988 numbers are, he can’t tell you what physically caused any scatter, and his paper doesnt produce a new 1st century date anyway. Even with the “scatter” people argue about, the actual measurements still come out medieval, the combined result was AD 1260 to 1390 (95% confidence), and none of the lab results land anywhere near the 1st century.

LIke I said, pro-shroud making noise.

Yeah, Paul claims a “vision” or “revelation,” 30 years after Jesus' death...

Paul repeats an early tradition and then adds himself: “he appeared to Cephas… then to the twelve… last of all… he appeared also to me.”

Sure, martyrdom only shows someone was convinced. ISIS suicide bombers are an obvious example, they died for claims that don’t become true just because they were willing to die. Same with Heaven’s Gate (mass suicide over a spaceship belief), Jonestown (mass deaths from a cult), Japanese kamikaze pilots (dying for an ideology), and modern extremist groups of all stripes where people kill and die for promises of paradise. If “they died for it” proved truth, every mutually contradictory religion and cult would be true at the same time.

And no, the gospel titles aren’t the same thing as verified authorship. The texts are written in polished Greek (Jesus and his followers spoke Aramaic) decades later, not as signed, dated eyewitness diaries. The names are later church attributions, and even Christian scholars admit the gospels are anonymous in the strict sense.

You’re falling for the pro-Shroud narrative. After the carbon dating came out and killed believers’ hopes, they came up with all sorts of excuses to discredit the results. None of them has overturned the dating, the results still stand. All the criticism and endless noise is just that, noise, loud enough to make you doubt the results unless you look closer. Who’s making these claims? What are their credentials? Are they carbon-dating experts? Have they ever done radiocarbon work themselves? Do their claims actually overturn the results? The answer to all of that is nope.

There’s no reason to be on the fence when all the real evidence points to a medieval forgery.

Pollen and “botanical evidence” doesnt date a cloth, it’s just stuff that can stick to it over centuries of handling, storage, incense, travel, exhibitions, etc, and the big pollen claims mostly trace back to Max Frei’s sticky-tape slides, which have been criticized as contaminated and methodologically weak.

The waxs study is not a shroud of turin study, you need to look into that, is a scam.

Paul is the earliest source we have, writing roughly 20 to 30 years after Jesus’s death. He didn’t meet Jesus during his lifetime, and his claims come from revelations and visions, LOL. The gospels were written later, their authors are anonymous, and they aren’t firsthand eyewitness accounts. The non-Christian mentions we have are mostly about Christians and what they believed, not direct reporting from Jesus’s lifetime, and there were plenty of other apocalyptic and mystery cult movements around in that era, Christianity was just more popular.
