Long live the King, a true Protestant

xfrodobagginsx SENT THIS MESSAGE TO ASK AI REGARDING THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS AND THIS IS THE RESPONSE HE RECEIVED:

xfrodobagginsx:

Write me an essay on how the secular, historical, non Biblical writings regarding Christ and shortly thereafter, affirm the resurrection of Jesus Christ :

ASK AI RESPONSE:

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central tenet of the Christian faith, and is regarded as a miraculous event that forms the basis of Christian belief. While the New Testament of the Bible provides a detailed account of the resurrection, there are also secular and historical writings that attest to the event.

One of the most significant secular sources to affirm the resurrection is the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus. Josephus, who was born in the first century AD and lived through the first Jewish-Roman war, wrote extensively about Jewish history and the Roman occupation of Palestine. In his Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus mentions Jesus twice, and in one of these references, he describes how Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate, but that his disciples claimed he had appeared to them alive on the third day after his death.

Another secular source that affirms the resurrection is the Roman historian Tacitus. In his Annals, Tacitus describes how Nero blamed the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, and how they followed a man named Christus who had been executed by Pontius Pilate. Tacitus also states that Christus "suffered the extreme penalty" and that his followers "had their name from him." While this reference does not explicitly mention the resurrection, it provides independent confirmation of the historical existence of Jesus and the events surrounding his death.

The Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca the Younger is another notable historical figure who wrote about the resurrection. In his Epistles, Seneca mentions the Christian belief in the resurrection, and describes it as a belief in the immortality of the soul. While Seneca does not directly affirm the resurrection, his writing provides evidence of the early Christian belief in the resurrection and the impact it had on Roman society.
Other historical sources that affirm the resurrection include the early Christian writer Clement of Rome, who wrote in the late first century AD about the resurrection of Jesus and its significance for Christians. The apostolic fathers, such as Ignatius of Antioch, also wrote about the resurrection and its importance for the Christian faith.

In conclusion, while the New Testament of the Bible provides the most detailed account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there are also secular and historical sources that attest to the event. These sources, which include Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Seneca the Younger, and the early Christian writers, provide independent confirmation of the reality of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and testify to the profound impact that this event had on the early Christian community.

Nothing says holier then thou more than the Royals/monarchy/popes. If you worship or simp for these people then you are a true sheep. As an entrepreneur I am sad that this kind of marketing still works in 2023.

Flavius was born 37 years after jesus. He only writes how what he heard from deciples in other words just copy paste of stories. Tacitus some 250 years after same as Flavius just reposting what someone else claimed. Tacitus doesn't even give the source for his claims.
Seneca was not present during the supposed Resurrection and never met this jesus character as he lived in Rome. He never wrote or claimed anything regarding Jesus so not sure how he is proof of anything. Christians are grasping at straws here
He basically said similar/same things that Jesus also claimed to have said
For our discussion purposes there is little doubt that a person named Jesus could have existed. However there is no proof of him resurrecting, doing miraculous healing etc. At best you can hope for is a Jewish carpenter with some really wise teachings who helped the sick and the poor but with an exaggerated resume. It was super common practice at a time to deify rulers give them superpowers from Pharaohs to Roman emperors

ChatGPT is nothing more than popular opinion regurgitated it has no proof. Once again you are reaching to prove your claims without actual poof.

Both you and xfrodobagginsx are reaffirming what someone else reaffirmed about someone else's reaffirment essentially a long and loud echo chamber with no proof.

athiest/antitheism in it self is a 'cock sure statement



your so hopeful

REEEEEEEEEEEE throw away historical documents unless i cock sure approve of them..........

Atheist Stumped by Overwhelming Evidence for Jesus' Existence...From an AGNOSTIC LIBERAL Scholar!

I'm the one who wanted Australia to become a Republic after the Queen passed, doesn't look like that's happening.



You're right in that these people were not present during the Resurrection. However the disciples were present. Who are the first eye witnesses? 3 women, followed by the disciples. We can read the eye witness accounts in the Gospels.

Tell me, if someone were to make up something extravagant as the Resurrection, then why would they put in the first eyewitnesses of 3 women? The testimonies of women were not considered concrete as men were held in a much higher regard. If you read the accounts of the Resurrection story in Matthew, in order to disprove a miracle like the Resurrection would require another miracle in itself. Are you seriously considering that Roman Soldiers, who were set up to guard the tomb would sleep through an Earthquake? That's what they were told to say. If Roman Soldiers slept on the job and lost what they were meant to guard, do you have any idea of the severe repercussions that would be?

Stories are passed down from generation to generation. Ever sit down and chat with your Grandad? He must have all kinds of stories about what life was like during the World War era. When your fellow siblings get old they can tell their Grandkids the same stories. I somehow doubt that you will reach that age though.

Is your job to move goal posts all day?

I just dispelled your argument of how the outside sources don't support the claim and are unreliable. Already you back to simping on how the Bible is credible because it tells stories.

The Bible talks about dragons, demons, angels, actual magic like parting the sea, bringing people back from the dead. Talking snakes, and cramming the entire species of all animals on a wooden boat for a year just so that a mad skywizard could kill everyone because he got offended by people using free will. There is a line between an interesting story that your grandpa with dementia told about his time when he was fighting nazis to batshit crazy religious propaganda.
Extravagant doesn't =/= credible or true.
You are like a little timmy who still believes in Santa, Easter bunny and God and Spiderman.
