Christianity is rooted in fulfilled prophecies and is strongly supported by the historical and archaeological evidence. The death of the Messiah by crucifixion, along with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, are the two most well-attested events in ancient history. You will need to follow the evidence if you hope to escape fantasy land and meet “the only true God” (John 17:3).

Muslims and Mormons believe certain things that are rejected by the vast majority of religious and secular historians and archaeologists. Muslims blindly accept the Quran’s denial of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, while Mormons blindly believe in the mythical locations highlighted in The Book of Mormon. In other words, Muslims and Mormons are essentially living in fantasy land, as compared to the evidence-based faith of Christianity.

The Quran makes this claim about Jesus of Nazareth in Surah 4:157: “They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but another was made to resemble him to them.” This erroneous claim stands in stark contrast to the historical evidence.

Tacitus was born in 55 AD and is “widely regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by modern scholars.” He wrote, “Christ, from whom the name of Christians originated, was put to death by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate” (Annals, 15:44).

“A secular source in the Roman Archives of history states: ‘Christ had been executed in Tiberius’ reign by the Govenor of Judea, Pontius Pilate.”

In addition, “the Jewish Talmud, a historical writing that is not biased towards Jesus, includes the historical event of Jesus’ death on the eve of the Passover.”

German biblical scholar Gerd Ludemann wrote, “Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable.”

The Apostle Peter wrote, “Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God” (1 Peter 3:18). And the Apostle John presented the Gospel in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
