How do pagans do miracles?I believe Jesus clearly identified himself as God's Son. To some opposers, Jesus said; "do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?" (John 10:36) Jehovah acknowledged Jesus as his Son at his baptism, saying; "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved." (Matthew 3:17) Throughout his life, Jehovah empowered his Son to perform miracles. Jesus pointed to those works as proof of his Father's backing. (John 10:37,38)
Well, Krishna was killing demons sent to assassinate him when he was a baby. Actually, so did Hercules, sorta. There are lots of superpowered beings who have done way cooler stuff than Jesus. It seems like all Jesus ever did was argue with demons and throw pigs off a cliff.I have not heard of anyone greater
Go read the Prodigal Son story.ALL are God's children?.....no judgement call?
what then of Hitler?
picture Hitler, Judas and Jesus sharing bread and a sauce bowl.....
looking each other in the eye
I show up and go "are we for real this time or am I going to wake up again?".what then is your scenario?
Jesus liked to dine with all the COOL people. Jesus didn't tell the tax man he was going to hell for just doing his job. Jesus didn't spend much time with the REAL people who were "sick" ... the self-righteous people he said were bad. Be like Jesus?Hey. Jesus had his ownn betrayer at his table. Why not hitler?
Hitler: Thanks for the invite, Jesus. I was THIS close to destroying the world.headed in the wrong direction.
brotherhood is more to whom you are willing to stand alongside.
Judas?....Hitler?.....brothers to you?.......or just friends?
Jesus: Well, I keep meaning to get around to that myself. The whole world should burn.
Hitler: LOL, I know, right?
Jesus: But ... there are so many good movies coming out soon ...
What stopped God from forgiving? Was He all like, "Ok, been doing the forgiving thing for random people for, like, AGES ... I need a break ... Jesus? Go do that thing for Me for about 3 decades. I need to unwind."If Jesus is not the son of God.....with all the grace he carried.....
the rest of us might have some difficulty standing before God and heaven
Well, there's just so much to clean ...Why are many christians uncomfortable with life ending in dust?
My great-aunt, sister of my maternal grandmother, was terrified to die. "What if I suffocate in the coffin?" I don't think many people got "the talk" when Fluffy died when they were a child.
I want either the "turn you into a coral reef" thing or a "turn you into a tree" thing done. Suffering from depression, I don't always feel useful in life. I want to be useful in death, not just some skeleton in a box.True. Its not. Why are christians uncomfortable with that fact of life? Why beliefs over facts?
I would think if God's grace is so all that ... He'd re-friend Satan (assuming the fall happened). I mean, your love is equal to the person you hate the most, right? Maybe that's why the end of the world never happened: God and Satan are drinking buddies again, like the old days.Any proof of such grace?
I'd think that was cool. My faith in Truth and Morality doesn't need any particular deity. I go with the one with the most evidence at the time.IF
Now I have a question for you.
What if you died and met the greek gods? Or the Norse gods? Or Allah?
