[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the significance of all the other thousands of people who died on the cross? The other thousand of humans that suffered through crucifixion? How do you know none of them offered their lives to save someone else? Jesus' death just isn't that remarkable - all those thousands of other crucified people had stories too - Jesus just took all the fame and glory.

Well, possibly. Except that 1) people there knew as soon as Jesus was crucified that something unusual was going on.  There was a massive earthquake (Matthew 27: 51- 53) that literally raised other people buried there from the dead. (This earthquake at this time is confirmed historically, BTW.) So it was hardly a routine execution.

And of course 2) He came back from the dead 3 days later, another unusual circumstance.[/quote]

Show me the historical confirmation of the earthquake.  [b]Supposedly the temple was torn apart[/b] --no evidence of that.  And if others rose form the dead, then Jesus isn't so special, is he?

I can hardly believe that someone who knows how to operate a computer would believe this stuff.  These are stories and that's all.[/quote]

Not the temple itself. The veil in the sanctuary. If you are going to question evidence, at least get your points straight.[/quote]

OK, where's the evidence for that?[/quote]

Tell you what. Why don't you find the *untorn* sanctuary veil, and prove the Gospels (written by people who talked to actual witnesses) wrong.[/quote]

If there is such a thing as a sanctuary veil, you can bet archeologists have looked for it -- and not found it -- or it would be big news.   They also looked for and didn't find any evidence that the red sea parted, no evidence for Jews being enslaved in Egypt,  no signs of anyone living in the desert and lots of evidence of early jews being in Israel during that time, no Noah's ark, no mount Sinai (they just named a mountain that much later) Moses supposedly broke the rock the 10 commandments were written on (very convenient) and there were no signs of any walls around the city of Jericho.

These are stories.[/quote]
