If each atom in our body is replaced then are we really the same person? Are we ever the same person after any experiance? Are we a paradox?

@KingLucentio I appreciate it. Will be using those for my IB presentation.

@M3t4lManiac Again, my personal conviction. I do believe that theologians are wasting their time with rationalizations and reconciliations that wouldn't even be necessary if they simply abandoned the ancient text. But again, the purpose is engaging dialogues with people who aren't quite ready to let go of their faith. We must take baby steps until they find a deeper meaning in Christianity than the mere words of the Bible.
-
@KingLucentio PS. Actually I think what you showed in your last comment that Christianity is impossible.
-
@KingLucentio But indeed that must entail leaving Christianity?
-
@KingLucentio Sure, but then it's surely all useless. If the infallible source is inconsistent and even self-contradicting, then surely you don't have any choice but to abandon the entire code? Anything else will be a personal or outstanding belief-system.

@M3t4lManiac Sorry about the reposts. Did that from my phone. Anyway, the criteria for salvation as outlined in the Bible is inconsistent. Sure you have the whole, "no one gets to the father but through me" business, but then you also have things like Matthew 5:17-20. Compare Luke 14:26-33 and Luke 18:18-22 and then tell me how to be saved.
Doubt is perfectly apt to help move away from an unsubstantiated faith claim.
