EYEWITNESSES FOR JESUS CHRIST "I have heard from various atheist and other sources that there are no real witnesses of Jesus. By that, I mean there is no historical evidence from people who met Jesus when he was alive (or supposed to have lived). Apparently the only sources of information concerning him are hearsay documents (e.g, epistles and gospels) written decades after he supposedly died by people who never met him. I want to know if this is true, so I can rebut these claims. As your group is called 'Witnesses for Jesus', can you provide me with any real Witnesses? By that I mean writings or any other evidence from people who actually met Jesus." The gospels, epistles were written by eyewitnesses of Jesus. They were contemporaries of Jesus’ time and the evidence of their belief in Jesus can be see by the fact that before Jesus rose from the dead, they went into hiding, but once he arose and appeared to them, they no longer hid but courageously preached of His existence, even to the point of dying for their faith. Why would they die for a “lie” or “myth” they made up? The historicity of Jesus has been substantiated to the point that no reputable scholar can deny it. Not only is the reality of Jesus documented in the gospels and books Christians call “Scripture” but also in the historical writings of Tacitus and Josephus and archeological findings. If the existence of Jesus is a “myth,” what are non-Biblical writers such as Tacitus and Josephus doing writing about Him in their ancient historical documents?

Testimonials
I LOVE this site!
“I just wanted to write and tell you that your website is absolutely FANTASTIC and invaluable. Thank you so much for providing fantastic resources that true Christians can use to reach out in love to those caught in the lie of Mormonism and the Watchtower Society. I love this website.”
Your site is the best!
“Just want you to know that I love your website. What a wealth of information …I have been looking for a website to aid in my witnessing to my Mormon and Jehovah’s Witness friends. This is the best one I have seen by far. Please keep up the good work!!!!”
Your website is crucial in my witnessing efforts!
“Your website is crucial in my witnessing efforts to Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. I cannot get the Mormons to come back anymore, but I had my first study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses today. ...One has been in the Society for over 50 years!!! I was very intimidated by this. ...But the thing that really got them squirming in their seats today were the questions I got off your website regarding the use of the Divine Name. It was almost as if they had never heard questions like this before. ...thank you so much for what you do. God has used your talents in such a wonderful way to bring glory and honor to our King Jesus Christ.”
I appreciate the loving tone of your website...
“I need to say thank you so much to the people involved in this website! I am a Christian and have been in contact with a Jehovah's Witness for several months, and at the beginning I was very unfamiliar with Jehovah's Witness teachings. Your website has helped me tremendously. I feel much better acquainted with Jehovah's Witness teachings and able to question her on her beliefs, and point her to the Truth of Jesus in the Bible. I enjoy the thoughtful, loving tone your website has in pointing out the error of the Watchtower organization, and the error of Jehovah's Witness beliefs.”
Thanks for providing the documentation to back up what you're saying.
“I recently became acquainted with a girl who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, and I am a solid evangelical Christian. Despite our differences, we have become good friends ...I have had the hardest time talking to her about my concerns regarding the Watchtower because I understood so little about it. In my search for resources online, it is so refreshing to find a website that is not slanderous or based on opinion, but that simply provides the facts. Thanks for providing documentation to back up what you're saying. This is legitimate journalism and it has been incredibly useful to me.”
I Feel So Much Better Equipped!
“I just wanted to say thanks for the tremendous amount of effort it must have taken to put together this website. I am a Christian who has been visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses for about 7-8 years… I was online …when I came across your site. Having found what I was looking for, I continued on with browsing your site. There is so much useful information here! Recently, one of the young Witnesses that had previously come to my door ...came back to my door alone. … After reading many pages on your site, I feel so much better equipped to speak with her. …I hope to show her the joy that is in the freedom we have in Christ.”
