Christians doubting Jesus’ death on Cross as they doubt Jesus’ resurrection from the physical dead

Hi


Since Paul built a house on sands that Jesus died a physical death on Cross, the Pauline/Christian creed to lend support to it is in jeopardy. Having none as an eye witness to testify on it to the present or modern standards, they loom about for a supportive dictum. One such is presented by allaboutjesuschrist.org named as Aristotle’s Dictum. I searched for it in the wikipedia, but could find no such eye witness Aristotle’s dictum on Jesus death on Cross.

I would like some Christian with real faith, not a mythical blind faith, to kindly help me find one. A mythical or blind faith is of no use in the face of reality or certainty. Please don’t get disturbed this is perhaps the usual imaginative criteria of the Christian mythical faith.

Jesus’ Resurrection - An Historical Event?

So, is Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead an historical event? It is proclaimed throughout the four Gospels as well as ancient correspondence. If these works are the historical documents they claim to be, then they bare witness to an historical event. According to Aristotle’s Dictum, these pieces meet the criteria for legitimate historical documents. However, as they describe miraculous events, they are not recognized by secular society as valid testimony. How then will these accounts be validated? Two questions must be asked. First, do the authors of these literary pieces discredit their work, or do their lives give credit to their testimony? Second, do accepted historical authorities corroborate these accounts?

Promised Messiah 1835-1908says:

On the evidence from books of history
which show that the coming of Jesus to
the Punjab and neighbouring territories was inevitable

The question naturally arises, why Jesus after his escape from the Cross, came to this country what induced him to take such a long journey? It becomes necessary to answer this question in some detail. I have already said something about it, nevertheless, I think it would be helpful to set out the entire topic in this book.

Let it be noted, therefore, that it was extremely necessary, by reasons of his office as a divine messenger, for Jesus (on whom be peace) to have journeyed towards the Punjab and its neighbourhood, for the ten tribes of Israel, who in the Gospels have been called the Lost Sheep of Israel, had migrated to this country, a fact which is not denied by an historian. It was necessary, therefore, that Jesus (on whom be peace) should have journeyed to this country and, after finding the Lost Sheep, he should have conveyed to them his divine message.

If he had not done so, his purpose would have remained unfulfilled, for his mission was to preach to the Lost Sheep of Israel; his passing away from the world without seeking these lost sheep and, after finding them, teaching them the way to salvation, would have been like the case of a man who had been charged by his king to go to a wild tribe in order to dig a well and supply them with water, but who goes instead to some other place, spends three or four years there and takes no steps to search for the tribe. Does such a man carry out the command of the king? No, not in the least; the man cares not for that tribe: he merely looks to his own comfort.

I would implore everyone reading this post to make a search in the issue and to accept peacefully the truth wherever it comes from. No compulsion.

Comments from my Pauline/Christian friends are welcome here; even if they differ with me.

Thanks
