i watched this documentary on NBC last night about the first noel... very interesting about the archeology and historical evidence for the Christmas story, and the life of Jesus even outside of the Bible.
i guess it makes it harder and harder for people to just pass it off as a fantasy story.
merry christmas.

One Solitary Life
Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty.
Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself.
While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves.
While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth – His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.
I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navys that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that

I'd have to say buddah and mohamed are right up there with jesus as far as sphere of influence and contribution to modern society went.
2 billion chinese can't be wrong.

I guess the difference would be... that if you attend the grave sites of Muhammad & Buddha... you are forced to say, "here he lies...".
With Jesus' grave you must say... "Where is he?"
"... he is not here, he is risen."

well, there's not 2 billion just in china, but I betcha there's about 2 billion buddists in asia.
