    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Richar Career is an “Atheist Version” of Kent HOvind or Ken Ham, he simply throws a bunch of fallacious information, in a way that he sounds smart and convincing If you pick randomly any of his claims it is easy to see his falsehoods I am I not aware of romans 13, but form his words alone, it...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Paul and Mark are not independent. There are dozens of examples of Mark's use of the Epistles. A few are here. The principal works to consult on this (all of which from peer reviewed academic presses) are: Michael Bird & Joel Willitts, Paul and the Gospels: Christologies, Conflicts and...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    That book has to be the most overstudied, and overrated thing, ever.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    NO, Mark is the source. There is no testimony, just a story. The Romulus story is historical and claims miracles, Muhammad claimed miracles, which were witnessed by many people. These are just stories. There is no verification these happened. There are thousands of historical religious fiction...

    Christians, which Old Testament Laws to obey, and which to ignore?

    I picked 5 as examples. There are others, however most laws, especially the moral laws are literal. I am not going to quibble about how many laws are in the NT. I will try to follow all that are in it.

    Christians, which Old Testament Laws to obey, and which to ignore?

    Cherry picking means exactly what it means....... I'm not needing to refute anything, simply observing objectively. You picked FIVE laws from the 613 in your attempts to show that they were spiritual...... you got 'em all wrong because they were meant literally. I have snatched several NT...

    The True Church

    Jesus never claimed that He was God. Jesus died some 2,000 years ago, so who fills the role now? Perhaps the Autographs were inerrant, but those have been lost to time. All we have are copies of copies, that were influenced by men. Yet it was men that wrote every single letter in the...

    The True Church

    I come from an atheist point of view, and it seems to me that the one true church is always the one you happen to be in.

    The True Church

    Agree I think you failed to mention the most important identifying mark of true Christians 1. They would display Christlike love for one another. (John 13:34,35) 2. They are no part of the world, imitating Christ. (John 17:14, James 1:27) 3. They worship only Jehovah and make his name known...

    Agreed. Add John 13:34-35. But dude, drop the name dictator.

    No 1. Shouldnt you say that Jesus is not God, but the son of God? Sounds better, doesnt it.

    The True Church

    1. Bad translation. Should read "In the beginning was the spokesman, and the spokesman was with God, and the spokesman was a God." Jesus is not God Almighty. 2. Only a church which believes in modern revelation can claim to have Jesus as their literal head. That narrows it down...

    The True Church

    Great post, "thedictator" is a very unwelcoming and unbecoming name. I'd add also living as the true church, not just teaching. Acts 2:42-47.

    Liberal Christians: Do you consider sex before marriage to be a sin?

    As a liberal christian, I would have to go back to the original Greek text, then study the history and society of Thessalonia to determine what the original Greek word meant in the context of that culture at that time. Following that, I would have to find some information to determine what was...

    Liberal Christians: Do you consider sex before marriage to be a sin?

    I suppose that "God changed His mind" is one way to put it. I think it's very important to look at the Bible as something that addressed the issues of its time. We should inspect these sorts of passages nowadays with a critical eye. The Bible condemns fornication to encourage a conservative...

    Liberal Christians: Do you consider sex before marriage to be a sin?

    Okay, I'm not a "liberal" Christian and I do believe sex outside of marriage is a sin. That said, I don't intend to try to debate the point. I'm just wondering how "liberal" Christians interpret scriptures such as 1 Thessalonians 4:2-3, which states, "For ye know what commandments we gave you by...

    Christianity a religion or the character of God

    It would be arrogant of me to claim that the knowledge was coming from my own intelligence, but I know and tell that it is a gift from God. In 1 Corinthians 2 - 10 to 12, we read, "For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. for who...

    The True Church

    I have a couple of questions. What exactly is the point of being baptised? I myself am not. If a baby is born into the world free of sin then why baptise it to rid it of sin that they don't have? Also, is anyone allowed to get baptised at any point in thier life? I'm sure that they can but...
