That's a rare LEVEL HEADED evangelical pastor!

[actstasi]

I've had atheists dogmatically telling everyone "there is no heaven and no hell' REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW? Simply narrow and dogmatic - and so much more evagelistic than the evangelists themselves! Stuffing their opinions down other people's throats.

@dlbattle100 then why havent I met a missionary proselytizing his resurrection? Why did his resurrection not spark a change in the world order? Why havent so many people died to tell others about this person? Sure, eyewitness testimony cant always be trusted. But what you can trust, is the impact the event had on the people that saw it. It would be a greater miracle to say there was no resurrection of Jesus, than to say there was one, simply by the impact it had on the people there.

He is particularly familiar with philosophy, that I must appreciate, although he is not being overweening by overly applying the philosophical arguments. He is being both accessible and intelligent. A admirable path to preach.

@dlbattle100 haha nice scam :) im sure he came back to life LOL. get your facts right. wiki and sources on the web are free, even for people poor in knowledge like you haha

So, if Craig Venter scans his brain (he already scanned his geneome) and then dies and then people use his dna and brain scan to resurrect him, does that mean that everything he ever said was absolutely true? What is it about surviving execution that has anything to do with truth?

[dlbattle100]

There are millions of eye witnesses (still alive) that say that Sathya Sai Baba died and came back to life, and that he reproduced all the other miracles of Jesus. Eye witness testimony of uneducated credulous people who lived before we knew about germs and atoms and the placebo effect are worthless.

KJV Luke 16:19-31

24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
