They pick and choose what they want to believe. Then when a christian is questioned about it they just give excuse's.

If you know what the bible says you should know that it has many great examples of how we should live and act and then there should be no trouble when you have to answer questions. reply to post by funky monk
So you obviously believe gay people should be stoned to death then?
The testimony (supposed, as the work in question is now lost) of Thallus is also worthless on the historicity question. Julius Africanus, in a surviving fragment, states that Thallus in the period before 221 A.D., wrote that the darkness which supposedly covered the earth at the time of the Crucifixion was due to the death of Jesus. He is merely telling what the Christians of the time believed. We have no evidence at all that there ever even was an eclipse at the time when Jesus was supposedly crucified.
