Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth.

I've also never seen a woman spring from one of my ribs. Unfortunately.

You prefer the lights off for soixante-neuf, huh?

 

[Lothian]

Don't be ridiculous!
He never said nicely (First Peter 2:18.)

Well done you found it

 

[Mashuna]

It is better to have a brain to think than an ear to hear.

Pardon?

 

[Hokulele]

Pardon?

 

[kurious_kathy]

Why thank you.

Oh I see you think intellect is all that matters? Can your intellect save you from hell??

The evidence for the New Testamnent and Jesus is all around you, but you must have faith before you can see.

Yes.

Well why didn't you just say so?

Yes, but they have seen airplanes take off many times and have often seen them in the sky, but I doubt if any of them have ever seen something smaller than an atom become 100 billion galaxies.

But believing in a big daddy in the sky that is all knowing, is all powerful, and always was, without any proof, that explains nothing about how things work, and of course you know how it feels about everything. This is OK with you.

Oh, that idea about atoms, about planets being other worlds, that stars are other suns, galaxies can have a 100 billions stars or more and that there are 100 billion galaxies in the visable universe etc are not in the bible at all, in fact, that bible doesn't say anything that is right about the universe.

If faith equals being blind to the world, no you can keep it KK. Your world is way way to small for me to live in. Way to limited in scope, way to limited in understand.

OPEN YOUR EYES.

There is no evidence for the existence of Hell. Even the bible is wildly contradictory over the concept.

The evidence for the New Testamnent and Jesus is all around you, but you must have faith before you can see.

Really? Care to offer a specific example?

If such evidence is unapparent until you already believe, can it really be called evidence?

Why do we have it then?

The evidence for the New Testamnent and Jesus is all around you, but you must have faith before you can see.

Nope, many had/have faith but see no evidence. So either your evidence is in your head, or God is picky about who gets to see the evidence.

 

[ClassyElf]

So this is invisible evidence that can only be seen through jesus glasses?

I'd really wish you'd show and explain the evidence for DNA's contradiction with evolution that you mentioned earlier.

Oh I see you think intellect is all that matters? Can your intellect save you from hell??

Can Jesus save you from the Muslim hell when it turns out that Allah was really pulling the strings?

 

[joobz]

Oh I see you think intellect is all that matters? Can your intellect save you from hell??

Can your logical fallacies save you from Glagnotox?

The evidence for the New Testamnent and Jesus is all around you, but you must have faith before you can see.

So you are back to "You must believe to believe!" argument?

Well for starters, Nero who was of that same era was the most powerful man in the world. He killed his mother and his wife, not to mention burning alive, feeding to the dogs, and crucifying Christians. And Herod supposedly killed all the male babies in Bethlehem.

...The world was messed up in Jesus' era, even more so than now.

First, there is no evidence for the slaughter of the innocents. No records - in the obsessively record-keeping Roman empire. No contemporary reports or commentary - on an incident that should have horrified anyone who heard of it, and certainly the parents whose children were murdered.

Even your buddy Josephus seems to have completely ignored it:

The incident is not mentioned by the contemporary Jewish historian Josephus, nor in the other gospels, nor in the early Biblical apocrypha, its first appearance in any source other than Matthew being the 2nd century Protoevangelium of James 22.[2] Most recent biographers of Herod therefore do not regard the massacre as an actual historical event,[3] but rather, like the other nativity stories, as creative hagiography.

"...creative hagiography," just like all your other blether.

Second, we now have much more awful weapons and much more efficient delivery methods.

Where the Romans had to travel by foot and beast of burden to annex a relatively small region, we can now destroy thousands of square miles and hundreds of thousands of people from great distances in just a few hours.

Now if you don't want to believe that, then how bout the fact Herod killed 2 of his sons. I would say Christ lived in an evil time.

Now, if you don't want to believe that, how about the fact that Saddam Hussein killed two of his sons-in-law? I would say that we live in an evil time.

Do you ever think or is your posting more a form of automatic writing?

Yes. It can even save many lives in the here and now. It can even make the present better. In fact it can even magic away your delusion.

The evidence for the New Testamnent and Jesus is all around you, but you must have faith before you can see.

Please stop asking people to be stupid. It is insulting.

Wow, you use a lot of constant self reinforcement.

I think she is preaching to herself.

Keep dreaming.... COD is never going to capitulate, and he seems wholly incapable of realizing anything (that goes against his religion).

And I've never seen the dead come back to life. I've never even seen any thing that would require that conclusion.

But logically speaking isn't it be easier to believe that a living creature that was alive once could come back to life then it would be to believe that something that was "never alive" could come to life (as science believes happened to the first living thing).

But (in science) the first female organism must have come from the side of something that wasn't female,

 

[kmortis]

But (in science) the first female organism must have come from the side of something that wasn't female,

Why? Since, for the most part, it's the female that bears the young, it seems more logical that it's us males that are the adaptation. Besides, in the case of asexual ants, it's the females that exist, not the males.

I don't think it's even possible to sex a bacterium.
