If I were a God, I would not have created a son that was a serial killer and being an All Knowing God I'd have known about sin and Satan (which by the way is a Christian interpretation of the serpent).
Gale wrote:I believe that even if you say "MR. Brown, you suck", it's still impolite. You're right. Many Christians should not even have the right to call themselves Christians if they judge other people. No one has the right to judge. However, do you not think that Satan is the one pushes them to the limit? Putting that voice in their heads "it's okay to be rude", "you're right about everything". Oh sure, it's THEIR choice and THEIR fault for saying such things (not sarcastic), but someone has to put a seed in their head.
What seed? Faith without works is dead. Truth comes from understanding and NOT by repeating religious dogma hyperbole.
Gale wrote:Not sure what you mean. The bible was written of hundreds of years by over 40 men who lived on 3 different continents in 72 lands (most of them never even knew eachother) and yet NONE of the books contridict themselves and they all fit in chronological order. You think that's coincidence? And it doesn't matter what people believe - but it's been proven that Jesus was an ACTUAL person. Some people say he was a good teacher, some say the Son of God, some say a liar. But he WAS a person.
Wow. Where are you getting your facts? There are numerous contradictions. Actually, an incredible lot.
And where did you get your sources of information as to the authors of the bible? Many of the New Testament Scholars have no idea the true number of sources and thanks to King James, many of the books no longer exist as gospel. And the chronology of the current King James version was used for the baseline of all subsequent versions out of simplicity. The Dead Sea scrolls do not support the KJ time line. The letters of John were ordered as propaganda after his death and were not sequenced as written. There is a very large body of evidence that many of the New Testament texts were written by only a few people some 20 to 160 years after Jesus died.
As far as proof of Jesus, the name was quite common but there is absolutely no proof that a Nazarene named Jesus was ever considered a holy man or the only begotten son of God.
Gale, it's okay to believe and spread his word. But be objective. The Bible is a great source of inspiration, but do not let the
belief get in the way of the
Truth. And to run away from a debate because you feel offended??? That's so incredibly typical.
