Fact or opinion?
I have many opinions about things...
It is my opinion that 'Friends' is the best TV programme ever.
It is my opnion that Alice Cooper's song 'Poison' is brilliant.
It is my opinion that pink is a great colour.
It is my opinion that sprouts ruin a Christmas Dinner.
It is my opinion that Brad Pitt, despite being in his 40's, is still gorgeous.
These are my opinions and I appreciate that not everyone would agree with.
At the end of the day those topics can never have a definite answer, I mean, who can decide what is the best TV programme ever and which songs are brilliant? They all depend on the individual person - so for me 'Friends' is the best TV programme but for you it may be 'The West Wing'. They are up for debate.
They are opinions not facts.
Here are some facts:
Matt Le Blanc plays Joey in Friends.
Alice Cooper's dad was a vicar.
My dressing gown is pink.
Sprouts are green.
Brad Pitt is 40 something.
Unlike opinions these are not up for debate. It's just stupid to say well for you Matt Le Blanc plays Joey in Friends but for me it's _____.
And if you're reading this you're no doubt agreeing with me.
So why does this logic go out of the window when you mention Jesus? I was speaking with a friend a while ago and mentioned Jesus. She said, "That's just your opinion that Jesus existed." Well, it can't really be an opinion, can it? Jesus either existed or he didn't. Like Richard the Lionheart either existed or he didn't. It's not an opinion. It's all about the evidence.
So what evidence is there to prove that Jesus lived on earth? (I'm not talking here about what he did) Well there are 100's of historical documents that write about Jesus, that tell of his existence. It's not just in the Bible that you read of Jesus. Josephus was just one 1st century historian who wrote of Jesus - check for yourself if you don't believe me!
Historians show Jesus lived on earth. But many people choose not to believe them as they still insist that Jesus living is just people's opinion. So I want to ask what about other historical figures e.g. Florence Nightingale, Henry VIII, Julius Caesar - did they exist or are they just people's opinions as well? If you believe Henry VIII lived on earth then why not Jesus?
