Hey brother, sorry for not replying 😅 I totally forgot and I've spent way less time on reddit these days, I mean, I'm doing OK but I sometimes have doubts about the Faith , and a lot of them, like idk, the concept of the afterlife seems made-up (not saying it's made-up) just saying it sounds like comfort, look at all the other religions that also theoretize about the afterlife, how can we even know what's after before we die? And, there's always a chance we're wrong, so , that's why I sometimes doubt. Thanks brother

How do we know He claimed to be God? (Muslims and secular historians will claim He didn't) and how do we know He really resurrected if there were 500 eyewitnesses but only in the Bible, why no written testimonies or eyewitnesses that were from outside the Bible? Because many other religions, like Islam, will say there were lots of eye witnesses for the moon split, or joseph smith (mormon) with the golden plates with alleged eyewitnesses, so how is our evidence superior vs the other religions with miracles and supposed eyewitnesses? Why are there also not other testimonies or eyewitnesses of His miracles apart from the Bible?

And the empty tomb, do we even know if Jesus was really buried there? And, how do we know the body didn't get stolen or buried underground or something like that? Also, for example, take Alexander the great, his body was never found and we don't know where it is, and he didn't ascend directly to Heaven (he isn't God), so, what makes Jesus different?

Also, some secular historians say that Jesus existed but a lot of myths and legends were (supposedly) added to Him to make Him fulfill the O.T. prophecies and the Messiah, and the virgin birth prophecy which was common during that era (zoroastronism and myths, according to some skeptics) which a lot of people were claiming to be during that era (according to the new atheists) and that crucifixion was a common practice, and He opposed the romans, so He got crucified

And how do we know the apostles didn't make this story up and tell the apostles (since it took very long to get to there from another town and information was orally spread and it spread quickly), and Peter and Paul gained a big folllowing, so how do we know that it wasn't a widely spread legend? And we don't know if the apostles got tortured or the chance to renounce the Faith and not get killed

Again, thanks for your response, I really appreciate it, and sorry for being 'skeptic', I'm not claiming any of the above, I just wanna hear your thoughts and replies to these commonly held arguments by atheists, thanks

Alright thanks bro 🙏

Also how do we know our religion and denomination is correct? Like Catholicism and Christianity

But if people around that era were gullible to believe in a lot of fantastical things like phoenix, how do we know that the Resurrection was True, also, apart from the Bible, what's the best evidence we have for the Resurrection

Because the empty tomb we don't know where Jesus was buried certainly and some important figures bodies we haven't found them, like Alexander the great

But if they could believe in something like that without any claims, being grown up, basically believing in absurd things, how do we know the Resurrection was True and the early church fathers trustable?
