Do you think Lincoln existed? What about people like Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar? Was there really a person named martin luther? We have an impasse here because we have no common basis for discussion. If you accept the existence of people who lived centuries ago based on written evidence, then, at the very least, you should accept the existence of Christ and peter and paul, etc. whether you accept that what is written regarding them is true or not. That would hold true for all people who are mentioned in writings which refer to things which we cannot verify by personal observation.
How do you think we find out what is true and what is not?
By personal experience and observation?
Thanks for your kind words about my eyes. I am 45 but my eyes are closer to 80!
best wishes for the new year-
walt
