Irrational Beliefs

Noufel,

Your belief that "Jesus did not die" is irrational in light of the overwhelming evidence:

• The Old Testament prophets testified to Jesus' death and burial.

• Jesus testified to His death on multiple occasions.

• We have eyewitnesses to the death of Jesus on the cross.

• We know of people who participated in the burial of Jesus' dead body.

• Even non-Christian sources wrote that Jesus died (e.g. Josephus and Tacitus).

The law/Torah requires that a matter be established by two or three witnesses (Deuteronomy 17:6-7). The testimonies of Jesus, Old Testament prophets, Jesus' followers, non-Christian historians, etc. is true, legal and believable compared to the testimony of Muhammad (or the Qur'an), which was written nearly six hundred years after the event.

Regards,

Aaron
