I am in a discussion with a lost person who says I have not proof of how the apostles died? He is right? Does anyone know where the evidence can be found? I am trying to prove to him that men would not die for something they knew was a lie and that none of the apostles recounted their stories that Jesus was who he claimed to be even at the point of death. Yet, I can't prove it other than wha t others say tradition says.
