Is there any NON-BIBLICAL proof of the whole Christianity theory ?

like eye witness accounts of Jesus after death NOT stated in the bible ?

Other historical evidence of his miracles ?




*** ATHEISTS !!! :

PLEASE don't answer this.

I know that you don't agree with Christianity but PLEASE do not comment on this. Seriously, i just want Christians to answer this, please cooperate. ****

Again, can you atheists please not answer this, just cooperate.

It will accomplish you nothing to bash a religion, just move on and answer other questions, please.

wow you guys just showed WHY i asked some people not to answer. Because YOUR WEREN'T GONNA ANSWERING MY QUESTION ! . . . you just leave rude comments
 
Well I find it amazing its often over looked that the great Hittite Empire,as well as Boghazkoy city has been found from within the Bible,when they were considered as myth.
many Bible cities, names and events have been unearthed through archaeology that the Bible is considered the single most important historical document in existence. Many lost cities have been located using the Bible as a road map. So startling and impressive are some of the finds that one archaeologist was compelled to say, "They are digging up Bible stories!"
 
Yes. There are writings of the early saints and apostles that were not put into the Bible. I believe that St. Peter wrote things that are not in there, and I know that some other early Popes, and saints wrote things. They're hard to find, I think, but they are out there.
 
There are actually various writings done by the first I guess you could say Church pastors. Which is exactly by those writings that the Roman Catholic Council in the 3rd Millennium used as reference for each book or epistle that would be put in the New Covenant, such writings proved apostolic authenticity, which as you may already know apostles wrote to the early churches to exhort them and encourage them so is no surprise that the teachings passed on by the apostles would then in turn be used by the pastors. Along with various other famous people such as historians and even kings and queens who had in hand original manuscripts who their scribes would copy of in order to retain for self purposes. Many related events such as baptisms by the masses are heavily supported by the amount baptizing piles they have found throughout the holy land, dating back to the 1st millennium. But most importantly is what those scriptures said. One; Jesus said the gates of hell would no prevail against it(His Church) and second when He ascended up to heaven we know He left the Comforter with us, which by personal experience I must testify I'm a witness to Its Holy presence, truth, and works.
 
Two problems with your question.

First, by eliminating the bible, you are eliminating the verified accounts of Jesus' life. The bible is a compilation of those accounts...it was compiled by locating the sources you requested and then putting them together in what we now call the bible. Of course, there are plenty of questionable references to his life...but those were left out of the bible precisely because their validity was questionable.

Second, this "well-educated Christian" knows that there is no such thing as "proof". How would you prove to me that Anne Frank existed...without refering to her diary...and is that really proof...after all, it could have been made up. What about Joan of Arc?...or any other historical figure? If you eliminate all references that have been compiled into a summary of their life, then you have nothing left.

You really have to consider the story revealed in the bible as you ask this question. His followers wrote about him...and their accounts ended up in the bible (in some version of the bible at least)...but do you really think that the rest of the people in the story...the ones that were there to witness his miracles but didn't believe them...would have written anything down when they executed him precisely for the reason of putting an end to his message? Not in a million years...the only ones that wanted his story to survive were his followers...and their accounts appear in the bible...everyone else, especially those in positions of power that were responsible for his execution, would have done everything in their power to erase any evidence of his existence once he was gone.
 
You ask for proof of something to which can't be proven or disproved.
Eye witness accounts are many. Many claim to have seen Jesus. Can that be proved. No.
People cite miracles everyday, do others believe, some do some don't.
 
Yes. A Christians current relationship with Jesus is current day proof.
The friendship that Christians have with Jesus is absolutely amazing, especially when we realize that we can have a personal, intimate relationship with the Son of God, who is responsible for creating and upholding the universe. It's overwhelming to grasp the truth of what it means is to be a friend of Jesus Christ.
James made the statement that "friendship with the world is hostility toward God" (4:4;). A man chooses during his life whether he will be the friend of Jesus Christ or the friend of the world.
 
See how non-believers act ? You may be "educated" but, you are RUDE. I am a college attending Christian.
It takes FAITH.................enough said
