All the kids go "But bunny's dont lay eggs?"

    Seriously all this is true except that last part there are several people who lived the same life Jesus did. Im not 100% sure if I spelled his name right it has been awhile.

    unsubtantiated claims made by people trying to refute christianity or religion in general..there is no way to prove any of that.

    "but there is no way to prove your faith either!!"

    Yes well that's why they call it "faith"  You can have your faith, and I can have mine, but don't make claims that you have no way whatsoever of proving about MY faith, and I will do you that same courtesy


    The burden of proof lies on the person making the unsubstantiated claim. You claim a big invisible man created you and wrote a book, you carry the burden of proof. Why would I have to provide proof that he doesn't exist? That makes no sense.


    You need to learn how to read more carefully, it's already in my post...you are truly the most mentally dense person that I have ever come across on an internet forum.


    All I see in that post is that I can't disprove your faith, which is exactly my point. Faith is the undying belief in something you have no idea about, and when asked to prove, you can't. The burden of proof does not lie with me to "disprove" your faith. If I'm missing something from your post, please hilight the part that proves God's existence and everything.


    again completely missing the point and iignoring everything but what suits your chance to bitch at me...do you TRY to be this dense?  I never said that I could prove the existance of God, highlight where I said that please.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    How about we attempt to create the world's longest quote chain.

    There is no point in me providing you with a counter argument and point, I have repeatedly answered questions of yours in different threads and you simply come back asking the same questions but with different words.(all starting with the Catholic debate)  At this point I don't even know why I bother with you.  I give you frequent answers, site frequent examples, and yet you persist, asking the same questions, asking for proof of everything that I say, while using cop out arguements yourself to render your vague and broad points, such as the sitation that it's impossible to prove the existance of God...well Modjoe...umm, DUH?  How the hell am I supposed to provide you with a counter argument to that, it's so blaringly obvious that nobody can prove that, that trying to would just lead us into an even bigger chain of quote threads.  So this time, I'm going to just back out, you aren't worth the effort anymore.

    I can't for the life of me understand why it is that you seem to intentionally search out my posts and attempt to find a hole in them.  Of course you are going to find holes in debate about religion...my origional point was that there is no way to prove that there were "multiple Jesus'" and that people tend to conjur things like that up for themselves because they seek to disprove something that really can't be proven or disproven.(Hello DaVinci code)  Your initial flame on me in this particular thread really had very little to do with my actual point...burden of proof lying with me?  Actually it doesn't, because I did not start the initial discussion about the existence of multiple people calling themselves Jesus, so how about you talk to the person that I origionally quoted and ask him?  Or is he just not quite as fun as me, because he doesn't provide you with quite so much reading material?  Don't bother answering that, I'm pretty sure you'll just say something along the lines of "no but you make unsubstantiated claims and I will not allow that"  or something of that nature...please, spare me, because again, you would be missing the point entirely.

    I will pray for you tonight, and I'm not telling you that because I am a pig headed, self righteous Christian...I tell you that so that you will know that despite what I have written here, I sincerely hope that you will find whatever it is that you are looking for, and that it will be good enough to satisfy your obvious contempt for something, though I'm not quite sure what that something is.

    And you never answered my question about that fight you picked with a pothead. I'll just assume you didn't see it, as you conveniently avoided it.

    Here's a fact that might just blow your mind, the oldest copy of the bible was found in Ethiopia, and is what rastafarianism is based on, contrary to popular belief theres alot more to being a rasta than smoking weed, like never cooking food, and never consuming hard drink (even vinegar), also they call christ "the blackest jew to ever walk the earth".

    All the hylie sylasie stuff came many years later.

    The Catholic Church is not just the source of one interpretation of the bible, but dozens, because jaywalking became such a problem in the vatican city people tried to get the pope to declare it a sin so people would stop doing it, right there is proof of how common it is for the roman cathoholics to manipulate gods word.


    Wow. That's truly amazing.

    So, do you have any sources to back up these grand revelations, or are you just talking out of your ass again?
  • LilithIshtarLilithIshtar Member Posts: 667
    Im still trying to figure out who this so called "jesus" person really is.

    No one's really given a good enough answer.

    And saying "No no it's a fact!" is NOT a good enough answer.

    Did you know that the Catholic Church is the source of the Bible?

    I noticed you never responded to the first half of my original post, which details the argument.

    Here's a fact that might just blow your mind, the oldest copy of the bible was found in Ethiopia, and is what rastafarianism is based on, contrary to popular belief theres alot more to being a rasta than smoking weed, like never cooking food, and never consuming hard drink (even vinegar), also they call christ "the blackest jew to ever walk the earth".

    That's a nonsense statement unfortunately. Considering there are over 10 accepted versions of the Bible, the oldest one cannot be from Ethiopia, because it's not the same as all 10 of the other versions. Make sense? No? Good, because it shouldnt, because like I said, it's nonsense. You should have said 'the oldest copy of a book similar to the other Bibles was found in Ethiopia.' Now the statement has so much less weight though.

    All the hylie sylasie stuff came many years later.

    The Catholic Church is not just the source of one interpretation of the bible, but dozens, because jaywalking became such a problem in the vatican city people tried to get the pope to declare it a sin so people would stop doing it, right there is proof of how common it is for the roman cathoholics to manipulate gods word.

    God damn americans. 'Jaywalking' isn't a crime here in Europe. I've walked right down the middle of streets in Rome, and there's no law against it - it's not even looked down upon, also, traffic in Vatican City is hardly bad, and therefore 'jaywalking' presents no real issue.. Thus, unless you can provide me with a cite to prove your completely ridiculous claim, move on, find a different thread to spread drivel in please.

    Peter is THE (not a) rock on which the Church is built.

    This clearly makes him its leader.

    No, it doesn't. Peter himself said that Christ was the head of the Church. Peter did not authorize himself as it's leader.

    As I have already proven, with historical citations,

    You proved squat. All you said was some guy, wrote some letter, to some emperor, stating something about Peter being the pope.

    Yah...Wow, proof.

    Peter did indeed become the first Pope. He DID create a hierarchy when Linus succeeded him. He DID command all the other Bishops, being the Bishop of Rome.

    Proof.

    These actions which he took are Biblical because he was given a leadership position by Christ himself. He had Biblical authority to do as he did.


    Take note of 1 Cor 1:11-13. Just because some Christian decided to put certain importance upon Peter, believing that Linus succeeded him, etc. etc. Somehow means that Peter took what Christ said as such? Hardly. Just look at Paul for example.


    Linus did in fact succeed him. I've got letters from way back that cite the succession.

    It's obvious that Peter took what Christ said as "become the first Pope" because he became the Bishop of Rome and exercised Papal powers over the other Bishops and Christendom in general.

    Proof


    Paul wrote Thessalonians. What does this have to do with Catholics?

    He as well wrote Corinthians. This is the same guy that said that Christ is the head of the Church.


    He was instructing Christians of various groups to follow tradition. And you said tradition does not equal truth? Obviously, to Paul it did, or else he wouldn't have exhorted them to maintain it.


    Did you even read the scriptures? Or are you intent on bending the truth to somehow suit it to pertain to catholic tradition?

    My God, Aldaron. What level of proof do you require?! In all scholarly societies, what has been presented surfices as proof until proof is given to the contrary. These are actions that happened two millenia ago. TWO MILLENIA. It's not gonna be on www.papalhistory.com now, is it? Having asked the professor teaching Christianity and Scripture at my local university (my mum attends her lectures) , she agrees that Peter did indeed become the first Pope. So until you provide your credentials as to why you can refute the proof given (it IS proof until you can dispute it with counter-proofs), I'll stick with a professor of the subject in question.

    Indeed. A dramatisation, if you will :p You know what I was getting at. I love that you tried the link though hehe.
    Having asked the professor teaching Christianity and Scripture at my local university (my mum attends her lectures) , she agrees that Peter did indeed become the first Pope.
    So?
    A professor in the subject agrees that the proof given is proof, and has believed this for the majority of her scholarly life aparently.
    So until you provide your credentials as to why you can refute the proof given (it IS proof until you can dispute it with counter-proofs),
    The burden of proof lies upon the person making the claims. It is not my job to refute something that was never proven to be true.
    If someone says they saw a unicorn in my backyard, it isn't my job to prove that they didn't.
    But if they gave you a videotape of the unicorn in the backyard, it suddenly becomes your job to refute that proof and prove they lied. You HAVE been presented with proof. Those letters constitute proof when looking this far back in time, until you give counter-evidence. If you wanna bury your head in the sand and deny it's there, go for it, but until you actually provide counter-proofs, the argument is won and the letters given ARE proof.
    I'll stick with a professor of the subject in question.

    Jesting has always been harder to get over the internet. Didn't know if you were serious or not.

    Having asked the professor teaching Christianity and Scripture at my local university (my mum attends her lectures) , she agrees that Peter did indeed become the first Pope.

    So?

    A professor in the subject agrees that the proof given is proof, and has believed this for the majority of her scholarly life aparently.

    A key rule of thumb is that there are always one or more people of the same credentials with a disagreeing opinion.

    Just because she may be educated, does not make her right.

    But if they gave you a videotape of the unicorn in the backyard, it suddenly becomes your job to refute that proof and prove they lied. You HAVE been presented with proof. Those letters constitute proof when looking this far back in time, until you give counter-evidence. If you wanna bury your head in the sand and deny it's there, go for it, but until you actually provide counter-proofs, the argument is won and the letters given ARE proof.

    I was shown absolutely no letters(proof). I was given vague quotes and references. So far, there is nothing to refute, because there is literally nothing there except amorphous words.

    I'll stick with a professor of the subject in question.

    Hell, for the second reference I gave you chapter and section. You call that vague?

    Tell me what you would constitute as proof and I'll find it for you. A book these words are published in? A reputable website? What more do you want?

    At one point did I say that I could prove that God existed?  You are not only putting words in my mouth, you are also using those words to argue with yourself.

    I have no idea what you are talking about "when you picked a fight with a pot head"  I think maybe you should go look at the thread where you calculated how much you spend on booze and "not so legal activities" and make sure you aren't spending so much that you have started to hallucinate...not that you should need to, as you have already pulled me saying that I could prove the existance of God out of thin air.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    I posted that because some guy was talking about a fight that he recently had, and my "I beat up a pothead" story was the last fight that I had been in...it wasn't a "look at me I'm a black belt and can beat up drug users" post by any stretch..it was just me sharing a similar experience.  The fact that the guy was a pot head was inconsiquential, and only came about because for whatever reason, I chose to call the guy a pothead for two reasons, 1:because he was one 2:Because it was the first thing that came to mind after he did something stupid.  I also fail to see how that even remotely relates to a post about God, or you putting words in my mouth and saying that I could prove the existance of God...but good try at bringing up something totaly irrelevant and trying to act like it should matter!

    And it's not Holier than thou bullshit, I actually legitimately thought that maybe you were too drunk to remember or maybe so drunk that you started just making random stuff up...you can't go around talking about how great you find alcohol and "not so legal activities" and then make outlandish posts and expect people to take you seriously.

    by the way, I've never been drunk, or high, and I can count the number of times that I broke the law on one finger, and that was a speeding ticket...good try though.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    @Necran:  I think a lot of people got the wrong idea about this forum.  They saw the initial error in your request and went on a huge tangent.  Let me clear the error up: Jesus Christ didn’t just exist historically, born of a virgin, crucified and rose from the dead.  Jesus’ claim is to be God.  This changes things to: God descended through a virgin, allowed us to kill Him as a martyr, releasing the Holy Spirit upon the world, and came back afterwards as the living God.

    As to why you should believe on Jesus Christ as the only living God, who sacrificed Himself for your sins:

    Sinning is to transgress or fail to meet up to a standard God  set.  Because He is holy and perfect, while we are imperfect, it goes to reason that all of us are sinners, and must pay some penance.  The Jews believed in animal sacrifice until the temple was destroyed, and now obtain atonement through living a good life, Hosea 6:6.  The Muslims believe genuine repentance, shown through acts of faith will suffice, Sahih Muslim, 37:6621.  Christians believing on Jesus Christ as God become a new creation in Him, surrendering their life to His cause as a living sacrifice, Romans 12:1-21. 

     Muslims and Jews believe that, in addition to afterlife consequences, God punishes us for our sins while we are on earth.  Christians believe that, in addition to afterlife consequences, sin separates us from God’s protection against Satan.  We can no longer receive of His blessings when we fall out of His commandment, and we don’t really desire to leave His side.   When we ask Jesus into our hearts, we fall in love with Him … all we want to do is please our Heavenly Father, John 14:21.
