“Show me factual evidence Jesus resurrected and was taken to Heaven. Show me factual evidence angels appeared and said this to the Apostles.”

Acts 1:11 - a concurrent, written account, after extensive research, in the timeframe of witnesses (any of whom could have said it didn’t happen that way). Acceptable as a reliable account in any court.

Please contrast that with any of the wild claims of mormonism???????

I disagree with your last comment. It is not about me. It is about the historical record of Jesus Christ, witnessed by thousands, which are facts.

Go to the Holy Land, turn over a spade of earth and what you find supports the Biblical record.

Mormonism, however, makes wild claims about early America for which there is not evidence or facts. You have a made up book, supported by feelings, with no fossils, no metal objects, no graveyards that contain hundreds of thousands of skeletons, no cities, no remaining foundations, etc.

Turn over a spade of dirt here and you have dirt.

You simply have wild claims and feelings Ben. You testify that your feelings confirm the wild claims. Yet you don’t even know that your feelings are not demonic in origin.

Now, there is nothing wrong with coming right out and saying, “I’m a proud mormonic follower! I believe the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith is a horndog and a prophet! I have absolutely no facts, evidence or logic, but I feel it in my bones, my bosoms and my hindquarters! And I don’t care! I have my feelings!”

But of course, you mistake your feelings for facts, evidence or logic and are left with an attack on others to cover it up.

best,
ampu

Have you spoken to these “thousands of witnesses?” Did they all write accounts of seeing Jesus Christ resurrected?

Yes, there is dirt in Jerusalem. Yes, the cities in the bible are accounted for...but that does not mean Christ actually walked on water. You can’t PROVE that he did. You go by faith. You believe it. There are no facts substantiate it.

I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected. I have no empirical evidence. Nor do you.

I also believe Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ as a resurrected being just like the Twelve Apostles did.

Faith is faith my dear brother. Just as the original Greeks and Romans believed in their Gods, so do we believe in ours. I will never convince you of my faith and you won’t ever convince me my faith is wrong and yours is correct.

Good day to you sir and carry on fighting the good fight against liberalism and tyranny this administration had inflicted upon us all.

Ben
