There is evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, besides the Gospel accounts and from non-Christian sources....You can't do it, can you? Why not just man up and admit you can't instead of dodging the request with meaningless questions? I told you if you could quote a secular contemporary source of a witness to the resurrection I'd make a public profession right here of accepting Jesus and not say a word against him again if you could. But you can't, can you. Why? because none exist. Therefore Jesus resurrection remains a legend without any basis in fact outside of anything in the gospels.
“From the non biblical record of history we can reconstruct the entire life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The majority of these texts speak of Jesus in derogatory or non-complementary terms. None of these texts are seeking to prove the existence of Jesus nor validate Him as a genuine person of history. In fact, by their non complementary and often scathing remarks, these writers of antiquity have preserved for us a substantial and conclusive chronicle of the same events that are a part of the New Testament narrative.
- Historical Evidence That Proves The Resurrection Of Jesus
- Darkness During Jesus Crucifixion, Confirmed by Secular Historians
- Is The New Testament A Valid Historical Narrative?
- Were The Gospels Written By Eyewitnesses?
- Has The Text Of The New Testament Been Changed?
- The Four Gospels Were Not Written Anonymously
- Tacitus as a Credible Witness
- Josephus as a Credible Witness
Those who exclude the works of authors who wrote after the events took place, distinguish themselves as unreliable scholars or communicators of true facts. Every reliable scholar uses works from writes who documented events after they took place.
From the following list of secular sources, we can accurately conclude that Jesus is a genuine person of history and that His presence on earth, as described in the pages of the New Testament, are also accurate.
Note: This list now includes 124 Secular citations.
As you read the following, remember that these are not believers in Jesus, nor are they seeking to validate Jesus as a real person. A majority of the following writings by these non-Christian sources, are visibly hostile, even hateful towards Jesus and those who follow Him. This is the entire point: By their adversarial remarks, without being aware, these non-Christian writers have preserved for us, an empirical record from history that Jesus did in fact live, die, and rose from the dead.“
