Have you ever heard that two world leaders during Jesus’ lifetime actually investigated Him and came away convinced He had divine power?

One was the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Based on reports - including from his own official Pilate - he concluded that Jesus had worked genuine miracles. Pilate sent word of these events to Rome, and Tiberius, far from dismissing them, responded: "We had already heard several persons relate these facts; Pilate has officially informed us of the miracles of Jesus."

Even more striking is the case of King Abgar of Osroene. Not only did he believe the reports, but he personally wrote to Jesus asking to be healed - and after the resurrection, one of the Apostles went and healed him. These letters were preserved in the official Edessan archives and later published by early historians.

Eusebius records the correspondence and its miraculous result: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/250101.htm

And the royal Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi confirms it in his own account: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0859.htm

That healing changed history. Armenia would go on to become the first Christian nation, and it all traces back to a miracle performed for its king by one of Christ's Apostles.

Two governments investigated. Two rulers believed. Add yourself to their number!

BASED.

Who cares. I have the King James Bible, that's all I need.

Agbar's conversion and the letters that prove it are likely false. The story is told through many accounts, but zero of these sources work together in social cohesion, they all contradict each other. Many historians speculate that the whole story was made up to increase support and conversion to Christianity during the Christian Roman Empire.

New Advent just has mostly old loeb translations. So long as you don't look at anything else it's fine.

Every Christian clergy I've ever talked to only has the most textbook apologetics answer to any question, they don't think for themselves. I seriously just want the truth and God at all costs, I don't care whether it's Hinduism or Christianity or Judaism or Zoroastrianism. I've separated my ego and destroyed my own beliefs half a dozen times already, I don't want to be comfortable, I just want the truth and nobody else seems brave enough to

the "historical Jesus" was the last Selucid Prince of Edessa, which was also the first stop on the First Crusades. Lots of "interesting" Bible history around Edessa that the "experts" either genuinely don't know about, or SHUT. IT. DOWN. every time it comes up.

Check out @RalphEllis on YT. He's been way ahead of the curve on this for years. Fascinating stuff that's virtually impossible to deny.

"likely"...."zero"......"they all"....."speculate"....."many historians"......

You're just using all the fallacies at once, aren't you?

See, (((they))) get very nervous when you start talking about Edessa. Gee, I wonder why?

I find this to be something of a strange claim, to be honest I think you might be mixing this up with something else. Read Eusebius and Khorenatsi's reports there that I linked in the OP. What contradiction is there between the two?

What would you say is the #1 strongest piece of evidence?
