Then why did His followers die for their beliefs? (Puzzled frown.) People
don't die for what they know to be a lie. (It was documented by the
Romans that eleven of the twelve apostles were brutally martyred.)
The Gospels were written within (about) forty years of Jesus' death
(which is a matter of Roman record) by those who saw what happened.
Either they wrote the truth, or they got together and wrote a bunch of
lies and then died to defend those lies. (Many things in the Gospels are
shared between them.)
