I have answered so much crap and I will not be called stupid by a **** ant whiney pot.

You know my premise disprove The Christian God, for now.

At no point did I say you were stupid. I did however give you a choice between stupidity and not being able to admit the flaws in your logic.

You chose stupid not me.

Look I know you aren't/can't answer my question. You are of course showing the complete lack of intellectual maturity that you and much of your xtian brethren show repeatedly on this forum.

I'm just highlighting it for the rest of the participants in this thread.

You could of course prove me wrong by answering my question but i won't hold my breathe.

Why won't you answer my question archer.

Is it because you are too stupid to answer it or because it damages your argument.



This is so typical of ignorant bible thumpers, they come across an argument that goes against their beliefs and instead of taking it in and thinking about like a logical rational adult, they refuse to accept it and ignore it.

It's truly pathetic.

Answer my question, it's a simple enough one.

-Q

The fault is with your understand of what I have said. Or you do understand? I think you do but want to have a little fun, I do to no problem:)

But when you say ignorant Bible thumper it is just a tad over the top.

If you have a claim about the invalidity of my God, or any other historical God, don't invent a God then post it, I will only respond to what I know, Christianity, and some other stuff:)

To disprove any concept you must understand the concept, God is like a concept, and if you understand you will believe and if you believe you will not want to disprove.

Psalm 22

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, and am not silent.
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the praise of Israel. [a]
4 In you our fathers put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5 They cried to you and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by men and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their heads:
8 "He trusts in the LORD;
let the LORD rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him."
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you
even at my mother's breast.
10 From birth I was cast upon you;
from my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Roaring lions tearing their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted away within me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me [b] in the dust of death.
16 Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced [c] my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing.
19 But you, O LORD, be not far off;
O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20 Deliver my life from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save [d] me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22 I will declare your name to my brothers;
in the congregation I will praise you.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or disdained
the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
but has listened to his cry for help.
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you [e] will I fulfill my vows.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
they who seek the LORD will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness
to a people yet unborn—
for he has done it.

Psalm 22:1 Hebrew Texts and Analysis

Yes, some of the Prophecies were of the 2nd coming. Why do I not say I believe they were? Because all of the old testament Prophecies have yet to be fulfilled. So I know not believe!

After a study of the Old Testament prophesies and the parallelism some of them share with Revelations it is pretty easy to draw this conclusion.

Humanistheart, keep it up:) this allows me to get some of the dust off of the olde brain:yes:

What on earth is the point of this psalm, Archer? Are you trying to characterize it as a prophecy? Of Jesus? How odd. Where on earth did you get that bizarre interpretation?

Probably from the Gospel According to Matthew. The Christian practice of taking the Jewish scriptures completely out of context has long roots.

Matthew 27:
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi,c lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”d


I have nothing else to say about my last post as it is evident if you know about the crucifixion.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 30They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion
32As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 34There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.b 36And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews. 38Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”
41In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42“He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi,c lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”d
47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Sone of God!”
55Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

I'm not sure what the point of posting scripture is. Anyone with a bible could just look it up. But first, you have to demonstrate why the bible is reliable and is valid. Bible versus mean nothing if the bible isn't an accurate source of information.

It is! As to the scripture, people want to say this and that and not present backup. At this point this thread is in scripture mode.

Yes it is! It may be worded differently from translation to translation but it is accurate.

No, what I'm saying is, are the scriptures reliable as an accurate source of true information? If you can show that they are, and you'd be the first. Than you might have a case with posting scripture. If not, than it's kind of pointless. No offense.

AHHH:) I thought you were going to go with that "you are misinterpreting crap".

No information can meet that standard if it does not have, a living witness or physical evidence. Even WWII history can be vague. I have no less reason to doubt the Bible than any other historical document.

That being said I did link the Hebrew text as I am sure if there were any way to refute this it would have alreafy been done.

Really? so, you believe the qur'an is accurate the vedas etc...? Wow, so, you're not only a christian, but you're a muslim, hindu etc... thats impressive.

The most interesting thing is, according to most theologies, if one god concept is true...all others are wrong.

If the Muslims are right, then the Christians God does not exist.
If the Hindus are right, then the Muslim God does not exist.
If the Jew is right, ........
and you can go on, and on, and on...

These religions rely on revealed revelations.
In each case, the deity expressed the revelation to a select group of people, to be spread to others.
The God who desires worship. Or commands acknowledgment, and sets forth laws for the people to follow, is restricted in direct communication to a select few, and expects others to suspend rational thought and accept hear-say as a direct communication from God.

This obvious limitation in communication between an 'omnipotent' deity and its supposed creation creates confusion in translation and interpretation, multiple denominations, multiple religions and sects. And most revealing of all, numerous god concepts in contradiction with each other.

The illogic of accepting any one 'omnipotent' god concept over another, without any evidence that you have selected to worship the 'correct' version of god is in itself evidence that there is no omnipotent, interventionist, revelatory god. For if there was, it would, by it's own omnipotent power, make itself known to all.

I believe those books were written as a way to reach and understand God. I will not comment on this. I know my texts are true, I know if I do not follow my texts I will be in jeopardy. I am not God and I will make no comment on this.

ok, thats fine. But I thought you were trying to convince other people. So, what reason do I have to believe that these texts are true? I understand that you believe they are true.

Please stop posting these long scripture passages; it's annoying. If you have an argument to make, make it. That's a very silly interpretation of the psalm; did you dream it up yourself? It doesn't even make sense! Aren't you the anti-interpretation guy? Well you just blew your credibility.

Just the opposite, I am showing the futility of telling one there is no reason to believe when ones faith can not be disproved.

Well that's silly. Some historic documents are contemporaneous, have known authors, are written for nuetral purposes, are corroborated, or have other reasons that lend them credibility. The gospels are written by unknown authors, for obvious propaganda purposes, generations after the events described, and are completely uncorroborated. But apparently it's all the same to you.

I assume you treat the q'uran the same way? It has comparable indicia of reliability.

I was showing parallels. So let me get this straight. It is fine for people that are Anti faith to twist what they want how they want with no backup, but a believer cant simply use scripture for their post as nothing speaks better.
