Further dialogue would be unfruitful. In a post you said you would believed if the risen Jesus had shown himself to the scribes and Pharisees. Record of that encounter - positive or negative - would still be rejected because it had a 'religious purpose' behind it. In essence by your own logic you would still reject that evidence. Can't trust 'miracles' because they are unscientific, etc.

Have a good week.

Good grief, why would showing Himself to the scribes and Pharisees be a priority for Jesus Christ — even though it seems to be a priority for kosta? They had already utterly rejected Him. Moreover, they were the proximate cause of His suffering and ignominious death on the Cross.

There seems to be a lesson here for kosta, "if he has the ears to hear it."

Our Lord Jesus Christ didn't come to score points against scribes and Pharisees, but to save the souls of those who love Him.

Thank you so much, dear Godzilla, for your many trenchant essay/posts on this topic, in particular this latest.
