The death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ was to the ancient world what the Holocaust is to the modern world--a fact so well documented in so much intricate detail by so many different sources that to deny it brands one as a lunatic.
Thus Peter in Acts 2 could proclaim boldly in front of the crowds in Jerusalem:
"this Man...you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death...this Jesus whom you crucified." Acts 2:23,36
and the two men on the Emmaus Road could say:
"Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?" 19And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. Luke 24:18-20
Isn't it interesting that the most famous current day holocaust denier, Iran's President Ahmadinejad is a Muslim....
