    I present as evidence what is recounted in the Acts after the Apostles began preaching his resurrection.

    33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”


    Two people rose up, were killed and their followers disappeared. If Jesus was just like them as some of you might claim then we can have some confidence that the same would have happened with Jesuus. But it did not. The Apostles were transformed after his resurrection like nobody ever has before or since. That is proof.

    But ou will probably need the gift of faith to believe, something one cannot grasp with out the spirit of God.
