Pointless asking, the Lord is all knowing and therefore already knows exactly what you are going to ask and will already have prepared a cryptic answer just to confound you.....the smug git!

Matthew 13:13

Great! He caused further confusion for the already confused by talking in riddles. If they didn't understand straight talk how were they supposed to unravel parables? Why would they even bother?

Precisely.

my question to him would be if your father is so wonderfull cancer in children,what sort of god does that"

I would ask him to stop people on this site posting anything about religion.
Yet another boring diatribe from the self satisfied, smug, entrenched position,small-minded fundamentalists who revel in being holier-than-though.
Whatever you think about JC,I bet he had a more sophisticated sense of humour than any of them.

I'd ask him, if he'd had the chance, whether he would have voted to leave the EU?

Is this Jesus the only white guy in the Middle East or do you mean they guy from Brazil that was in fast and furious :D

Take a close look at the opening post in this thread, and ask yourself the question. Do you honestly think that was posted by a fervent religious believer?

It's not directed at him.You must know who it is?

It isn't hard to guess, but I'll make the point again. Since it wasn't that person who started the thread, why do you appear to be holding them responsible for it?

Shussssssssssssh, don't go telling people Jesus was a black man, it's the best kept secret in history. ;)

He was a Palestinian Jew.

Conjecture at best.

Probably fabrication.

No it's true, they found his robe and sandles in India. :thumb:

Yet you just used one of the most offence words to try and make your point .. you didn't even try to quote it ..

:nono:

Kinda sums up the mental state of believers this doesn't it.. take a joke and become offended for the sake of it.

JTaylor are you offended? :Suspiciou

No. I don't think your post was particularly funny, but perhaps I just don't get the joke.

Luke 23:34 reminds me of how Jesus reacted to His torturers and killers and mockers. I'm to emulate Him.

Jesus didn't exist!.

You can't prove Jesus didn't exist but then it can't be proved that he did exist either.

after all that's been written about the Christian wars all those yrs ago. If Jesus did actually exist, surely their would of been something written down to prove it.

Is it not generally accepted that he probably did exist and that the stories in the bible are just embellished versions of reality?

I don’t want to get to pedantic (he says before being pedantic)

But the concept of “proof” in these types of discussions is often misunderstood

So you can’t “prove” he did or didn’t exist in the same way you can’t prove evolution does or doesn’t exist or even the earth is older than 5000 years old

What you can say is “based a consilience of multiple lines of evidence “so and so” is more than likely true"

And on that definition I think the evidence suggest an historical person called Jesus did exist and so did at least some events as portrayed in the bible – The King Herod census etc

and if you take an opposing view - you have to demonstrate why the evidence is flawed and also (in the realms of science) put forward an opposing position that explains ALL the evidence

I can see your point in that sense. If he did exist he was probably just a prophet or someone that people looked up to. But I can't believe that he had healing powers or the power to heal by just touching someone.

You're confusing science with oral traditions and texts that have been many times rewritten and re-interpreted. A good question might be: If they existed why didn't Jesus, or for that matter Buddha and Mohammed, write down a single word themselves? Perhaps they couldn't read or write, instead relying on the debatable memories of acolytes, with their personal biases and interpretations. Not good preparation if God had a hand in their words.

sorry, your confused

my reply was about the concept of proof - using science was just an example

there seems to be documentary evidence for an historical figure called jesus

proof - NO

evidence - YES

The concept of religious "proof".....

****ing hell, it's taken many years but I've finally found someone that actually understands why the vast majority who claim god does/doesn't exist are idiots.

As much as that image is good for a chuckle, he's wrong.
