Tobias find a way to stop that dangerous PC of yours taking you to threads you do not want to read.
And in time after you control it please consider was that post the best you can do?
Rationale debate is not helped by such unwanted impulse posting.
And your profile here is questioned by it.

Tobias...Take a hike!

Boazy: "Pericles..... I refer you to scripture because it has persuaded the likes of Simon Greenleaf (former atheist) who founded the Harvard law school.. as 'evidence'"

Pericles: "..apart from the fact that i) he wasn't an atheist, ii) he didn't found the Harvard Law School and iii) he didn't suddenly become "persuaded" by the evidence of the Gospel, you have the story roughly right."

I see that Boazy is maintaining his usual standard of truthfulness in his arguments. While I'm sure that his frequent mendacity is entirely unintentional, it does call into question his capacity to comment sensibly about what constitutes credible "evidence".

Hi Pericles and CJ...

I'm not privy to the best sources it would appear Pericles.. please provide you links.

These links need to have a coffee with your Pericles. The 2nd one states 'developed the Harvard law school' If your sources are more reliable.. clearly that is a half truth.

"Greenleaf, one of the principle founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen."

Here is his treatize..might make good reading for you blokes who feel the Gospels are not adequate testimony.. BUGSY.. you might benefit also mate.

I would think that someone setting out to 'disprove' the resurrection would do so from an atheist standpoint ?

Can I suggest....that more benefit would be derived from a study of his treatise than of 'my biographical notes' of the man?

But I welcome the additional information you provided.. I'd like a reference though Pericles.. a source. a link.. if you don't mind.
Kind thanx.

K.JIM It is not my 'lack of knowledge' at work there..it is my desire for you to search it out for yourself mate.
I prefer not to set myself up as the judge of large chunks of humanities eternal destiny. I can speak firmly though of those who outright 'reject' the Biblical Savior... they have judged themselves.

Guys,
Does this one take the trophy as the longest running discussion?
Lets just say everyone has their own ideas and get on with it.

"I prefer not to set myself up as the judge of large chunks of humanities eternal destiny. I can speak firmly though of those who outright 'reject' the Biblical Savior... they have judged themselves."

Hey Boazy.......lighten up mate!

Remember what George Burns said:

"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
