Forgive me for making you sound like a smurf, but I didn't want to miss anything, Ive only got 10 minutes. You forgive me right? Those who don't forgive go to hell.
@benbranson007 All the first believers in the first 100 were non christian so millions have done it before. I grew up Catholic and no upbringing is worse to become a believer in Jesus than RCC. So don't blame or make an excuse of how you were raised if you don't or do come to belief. If you have heard the Gospel, you are stuck with a decision to either believe or not believe. No in between exists. You get to choose, so make it count. Read and think, is it worth the effort to believe??
@MRGV7373 If you accept or do not accept history is a choice of humans. WWII, WWI, Civil War - how far do you go back until something does not have enough validity. It does not make it true or false. The bible is the proof for the life of Jesus. God is real, or God is not real. You get to choose your for yourself what your believe. My hope is you choose Life, In Jesus but at the same time, If God is real then God will show Herself to you. Nature, History, good signs of God, but belief?
The whole bible has good history after Genesis 10. It is not full history. The NT is very good overall history. Is it perfect, not so much, but it still has a point. Either it is good history or it is not. The bible did not speculate about many things so what else is new. Jesus story has no reason to fake. If you want to believe it is up to you. I do believe since I think it is good history. If you don't want to believe it, welcome to America, you can choose what you want. Freedom
What chance have you got to be a Christian if your born in a non Christian country? There is no way children(in Saudi Arabia for example) will ever get a chance to learn Christianity so God will punish them. How does a murderer who believes in God and asks to be forgiven is ok but a man who does good all his life but doesn't believe get punished? I'm so confused:-(
@coyoteself - "And sorry, you didn't provide me w/ any information I was not already aware of"
So you knew about the relationship between Jesus and Titus? You knew about the Flavian trinity? How about the relationship between Suetonius and Revelations? Or Neros persecutions of zealot terrorists being mistaken for Jesus Christians? Constantine being the first Flavius on the throne since the Trinity? You knew all of that? I doubt it.
@Franknarfable I only responded in kind to your confrontational responses to me and yes I more or less called you a 12 yo "Jerk, " because you're acting like one. In your 1st few responses to me, you appeared to come across as an angry Bibull thumper and thus the misunderstanding. And sorry, you didn't provide me w/ any information I was not already aware of. In fact, you even choose to deny the resources of information I gave you to help prove YOUR point.
