Jesus is the product of Christianity, not the source of it.

The thread asks What is the historical evidence that Jesus Christ lived and died? It isn't Could a magician called Jesus Christ or anyone at all who fancied themselves as the son of god have lived and died? Nevertheless, at the supposed time of Jesus Christ there is still nothing whatsoever...

There are very clear principles to be met before the historicity of anyone or providence of anything becomes valid. Bible Jesus doesn't meet with a single one of those principles. Not a single one. Although the period prior to, during and immediately after the supposed time of Jesus was replete...

Everyone is threatened and persecuted by ISIS and their murderous religious extremism. It is perfectly clear that ISIS doesn't care if they attack Muslim, Jew, Christian Hindu, black, white or anyone in between. Christians ain't special. Y'all just having a Christian Lives Matter moment.

If you create a universe which can be all good and then you introduce evil into it when you don't have to, that is the very definition of having or showing a wish to do evil to others.

Yet there's nothing but ego to say you go somewhere other than the oblivion you came from.

Then Epicurus was right. If there were a God then it is malevolent if it chose to work within a framework that is "red in tooth and claw". If it couldn't create an alternative framework, for instance one where you knew good without needing to know evil, then it is not omnipotent, so not a...

That completely misses Epicurus's point. Any God that had to create evil for good to exist isn't omnipotent. Any God that created evil when it didn't have to, is malevolent. A God worth its salt could and would create good that had meaning without any need for evil. If someone needs evil to...

Your refusal to understand or acknowledge the answer does not make it a non answer The Bible says nice things and the Koran says nice things. The Bible says nasty things and the Koran says nasty things. The Bible contradicts itself and the Koran contradicts itself. You recognize only nice...

...and again the answer is Islam and the Koran is every bit as nasty as Christianity and the Bible have been, can be and often are. If the Bible(New Testament) says to love your enemy, why does it threaten to slay an apostate, who is hardly an enemy? Pretty much both the same thing in...

I did answer your question Mav. See post #53. The answer is, both Bible and Koran are basically saying the same things. The Bible(New Testament) threatens punishment of death for an apostate who is hardly an enemy. The Koran threatens punishment of 100 lashes for the adulterer who is hardly...

If the Bible says love your enemies, why then does it prescribe death for those that don't accept being reigned over who are hardly anything like an enemy anyway? The Bible says those who will not be dominated and ruled over are to be killed. Both the Bible and the Koran books do exactly...

If the Bible teaches to pardon and exonerate and forgive, why then does it prescribe death to those who don't buy into it's commands? Matthew 23: Jesus Condemns Hypocrites!:finger: Of course the Koran teaches likewise. The real question I think is Mav, how come you seem to have decided...

You've found God when what he tells you happens to correspond with your own desires.

Luke 19 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Koran 64 But if you pardon and exonerate and forgive, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Nonsense and absurdity is never carried out so completely and cheerfully than...

you are arguing against yourself

The Universe - all of everything everywhere.:rolleyes: You read somewhere time came after the Plank Epoch. Plank Epoch is 10 ^43 secs after big bang. So you've read time started after time started. :D I can only suggest you keep clear of those creationist websites . Unbelievable:confused...

Considering the amount of violent text and "teachings" that reside in religious scriptures, Sieg Heil not God bless would be more in keeping. I can see you're trying to make religion respectable :sneaky: but quite honestly it isn't. Given the fact that many people are religious, it's...
