Of course since Christians have always insisted that Christ was the fulfillment of hundreds of Old Testament prophecies the whole argument is nonsense. In regard to the resurrection, Christ Himself brought up Jonah in the belly of the Fish. Too many modern scholars in areas, such as archaeology in the Middle East, that require a good understanding of Christianity, are obviously woefully ignorant of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-85651732806273227812008-07-07T21:28:00.000-04:002008-07-07T21:28:00.000-04:00There's a clear image of Pentecostal Fire in Virgi...There's a clear image of Pentecostal Fire in Virgil’s grand epic, but did we hear Dante complaining of a shaken faith from that?
