Skeptic Bible Study: Dunce Disciples Part II

Reloaded Video.

http://www.godvsthebible.com

I was accused by more than one YouTuber of strawmanning when I noted the episodic nature of the Gospel miracle stories and how the disciples must be such dunces to be amazed each time. To defend my point, I selected one Gospel, Matthew, and did a thorough list of all the reasons anyone who knew Jesus had to believe he was no ordinary man. Somehow, after all this, and after being told not once, not twice but three times what was to come regarding his death and resurrection, Thomas still had doubts? He was the biggest dunce of all.

If only "Jesus" was in the White House--healthcare resolved--that would be a "miracle" Or would that be considered "socialized" healing?.

Jesus would never get elected. The Republicans would smear him for being a socialist.

Jesus did hang out with hookers and lepers so why not the mentally disabled?

[DeistPaladin]

Ha, good point. I can't argue with that. :)

Why does Jesus keep performing these miracles in front of audiences (much like Peter Popoff) and then tell them to keep quiet about it?

And why are his miracles so trivial? Why doesn't he cure them all? Or, if he doesn't want to break to many physical laws, why not just tell them about germs and penicillin?

No, he's just going to cure this one blind guy and then tell them that diseases are caused by demons.

Seriously, wtf??

This whole story about Jesus resurrecting a little girl has always been strange to me. When he says that the girl is only asleep, the people laught about him! HELLOOO!!! A girl just died! That's no laughing matter!

Did Abraham name god? Lets see:

Genesis 22:14 -

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehova-jereh; as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

No big deal, right? Turn to Exodus.

Exodus 6:2-3

And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH I was not known to them.

No wonder they call them the Abrahamic religions, literally.

Could there be any more golden classic event in all of YouTube than when John bitchslaps the disciples for not remembering the two other times Jesus made bread out of nothing.

2 things.

It would not be socialised since he shouldnt need anything from us besides maybe prayer for him to heal all people. I dont think he ever even needed prayer in the bible.

But the repubs would hate him for it anyway because they think it makes people worthless to get things for free.

Your supposed to work hard for everything. I admit, I forget how the last conservative person i talked to put it. But the supposed business owner didnt employees getting ffree healthcare was good for them.

Who would get tired of turning water into wine?

That's John's Jesus who did miracles to show off and prove who he was. Mark's Jesus was always angry, did miracles reluctantly and told the people no to tell but they always did. Matthew's Jesus wasn't so angry but only did miracles out of compassion but wouldn't do it to prove who he was. He did make a women get on her hands and knees and bark like a dog before healing her puppy, er, daughter. Even Matthew's Jesus could be a prick.

Then jesus might have done something that could help everyone in the long run without the fame and popularity and that's not how jesus operates.
