I thought of that too. But the apostles were not murdering thugs either. They wanted to live. The apostles as well as Christ Jesus were murdered by those who did not like what they had to say and believed. Turth has a way of making individuals uncomfortable. Thanks for reply
Just look at human nature and think about the apostles. Would you die for a lie? They were eye witnesses to the event and died horrible deaths. St. Peter was crucified upside down, St Steven stoned to death and St.Paul was beheaded. They did not seek death, they wanted to preach and share the Gospel of Life. The historical evidence of Christ is in the writings of his disciples. WE today are so mired in the pollution of the gospel of death and destruction. Most individuals reject the Gospel teachings for one simple reason. They know deep down it requires them to change their way of life. It is a challange, but the brave and humble know the joy and peace of knowing Christ. And no one can take it away!!
