I haven't heard of anything like this. There seems to have been little contemporary references to Jesus in Roman sources so such a letter would be priceless. \n\nHowever, Dennis Lemon of Gay News was convicted of blasphemy in 1978 in Britain for printing a letter from a Roman centurion claiming that he loved Jesus. There is no basis for thinking that such a document existed. For a start, many centurions were illiterate.

May have to do something with the Roman emporer Nero who was feeding Christains to lions at the time the passage was written; some parts of the Bible are meant to be taken from a historical context and some for moral teachings.  This, from what I understand, was a way for Christians to convey what Nero was doing (his name or birthday converts to 666) much like they used the symbol of the fish to let others know who they were in times of adversity and persecution.

Well, since the Bible is referenced in historical texts, more than any other book, and the story of Jesus is told in the Bible, I think that is considered historical proof. These stories are not new. The concept of Jesus' existance is harder for the modern day person to believe because we are 2000 years removed from that time. However, several texts, scrolls, letters, etc. were written soon after the death and resurection of Christ. Also, do not forget that zealous Jewish priests were persecuting Christians in order to try and get them to deny the message of Christ. This went on for a long time, and yet, the message has survived until now...2000 years later. Is it possible that it is all made up? I suppose there is no 100% evidence that it existed. But then, can you 100% proove that your great (time 5) grandfather existed? If you never met him and no one alive on this earth ever met him, how can you "proove" he existed. The simple fact is, you can't. But you believe because 1) you have faith. and 2) all the evidence presented supports that he did exist. All the evidence supports the existance of Christ. \n\nI suggest you pick up a copy of the book "The Case for Christ" by Lee Stroble. This presents the stories in a very "judicial" method. Giving the evidence and the opposing sides views and why the evidence supports the message of Christ.

Question\nI'm trying to find on the Internet information of saint George his birth and death and other important dates through his history can you help please Tracey amas \n\n\nAnswer\nThis answer is posted on behalf of Philip.\nAlmost nothing at all is known about the person who we now call St George. He was a Roman, but we don’t know where in the Empire he came from. Not do we know when he was born. We do know he was probably of noble origins, and that he was put to death on 23 April 303, under orders from the Emperor Diocletian, in Nicomedia. Diocletian ordered a persecution of the Christians . The Roman soldier we now know as St Sebastian was also killed during Diocletian’s persecutions. I would suggest looking online using a search engine, for the search phrase ‘Diocletian persecution Christian’. This will give you much valuable background information about the times that St George lived in, even though it won’t tell you anything much in detail about the man himself.\n\nAnd that is really all that is known about St George.\n\nDuring the Middle Ages a mythology grew up around him, and many stories date from this late time period, but they have nothing much to do with the man as an historical figure. If you are interested in this side of things, then you could do a web search, and put in the search phrase ‘St George mythology’.

The primary question, as written, demands an answer of "nothing." There is a considerable amount of written text attributed to Jesus' followers, though perhaps to no one who actually knew him. But I've yet to run across anything that claims Jesus' own authorship.

Why is "The DaVinci Code" not fiction anymore? I missed that announcement...Anyhoo, if you want to hear solid evidence for Christ, I suggest reading The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel. I am reading it right now, so I can't tell you too much about it, but he talks to all sorts of scholars, some Christian Bible Scholars, some atheists like himself. He presents the evidence (eyewitness, documentary, corroborating, rebuttal, scientific, psychological, circumstantial, and fingerprint evidence). I'm still in the chapter about eyewitness evidence, but it is really, really good. Reading this is a great way to get multiple views, so you can choose.

:}\nNo electronic coppies are available. National Geographic holds the rights to the translation and will be publishing it for sale. not yet released.\nThe Internet is full of rumors about what it says, if you care to google it.  \nThe rumors are probably as accurate account of what it contains as it is an accurate record of the life of Christ.

That's a pretty tenuous interpretation ripped out of context.\n\nAnd it is generally agreed by scholars that Peter did not write that letter.
