    umm one Christianity didnt come up with the Ten commandments! Two i said most which is not all once again you are being selective im not being arrogant
    Again, the number of commandments doesn't matter. What you said is that they are originally based on the TC, which is what I'm calling arrogance. Religions existed even before Judaism and Christianity, and there is every possibility that the men who penned the TC were inspired by these religions. To think it was partially or wholly based on the TC is arrogance and sheer stupidity.

    I believe that Jesus is divine because of his virgin birth, and Resurrection. The works he did, miracles he performed and hearts and souls he still touches today such as mine
    We can talk about the virgin birth later on because I would like to discuss about the Resurrection at first.

    Why do you think that the Resurrection makes Jesus divine??

    If I may quote Matthew:

    "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose" Matthew 27.52

    Also, Lazarus was also resurrected.

    The resurrection of the dead seemed to be a banality at the time of Jesus which means that the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth wouldn't make him divine.

    I must point out that Andrea still hasn't refuted my post about the TC being a poor moral code due to ignoring slavery and child molestation, to name a few of the crimes no mentioned in it.

    I am the kind of person who considers all religions and not just the one he was born into.

    Correlation doesn't imply causation, which is a very important concept in science.

    The fact that Jesus was allegedly present at these resurrections doesn't imply that he caused them.

    We have no primary sources written by eye witness of these events and no further evidence to suggest that Jesus caused these resurrection.

    Therefore, a belief that Jesus was divine because he was resurrected cannot be justified if we take into consideration the lack of evidence(which we must, at all times).

    How about the evidence of what I said before, cowering hiding apostles at the time of crucifixion, but after ressurection, all of them going to their death, refusing to denounce Jesus or his ressurection?

    What evidence do you have that this happened?

    I want an account written by an eye witness of these events.

    If there is no concrete evidence that these events took place, as far as I am concerned, it is irrational and unjustified to believe that they did.

    I am a history student and in history, you have to treat all historical sources with this standard and Christianity shouldn't be an exception.

    If you have no concrete evidence, we'll have to accept that the resurrection was a banality and not necessarily caused by Jesus.

    How on earth can the the executions of Peter and Paul be evidence that Jesus was resurrected??

    Please, don't mention the History Channel. That poor excuse of a channel doesn't have any standard on historical truth, which can be easily seen on their dozens of documentaries on aliens and conspiracy theories.

    A reliable evidence would be a primary source written by an eye witness of these events.

    Peter and paul were killed for not denouncing Jesus as the Christ and not denouncing his ressurection! You dont die for something you made up! If the ressurection didnt occur they wouldnt have died for it!
