Part 38 of Post Your Tough Questions Regarding Christianity

You really think that a Hindu does not think exactly the the same about Vishnu that you feel about Jesus or a Muslim feels about Mohammed Tell me why you are right and they are wrong.
Please name the apostles who were persecuted and had a chance to recant? Then show what your evidence is please.

 

there is no evidence outside of the bible that the biblical character called Jesus ever existed.

 

God isn't about religion. Religion is man-made. I'm not saying that religions don't have any truth but truth is mixed with lies. Jesus died for every single person. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, didn't just die for our salvation but also that we could come before God. Jesus dying on the cross was the deepest expression of love for His creation.

Job 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

 

What happened to the evidence?
Why can't you explain why all the other gods do not exist?
It's amazing how quickly it all fell apart for you. Let's try a simpler one now, what evidence shows the atheist position to be absurd?

 

When I look at the amount of order that exists in the world around me, I know that there is a God.

 

Good for you, now do you want to give the evidence for that god being this Jesus guy as you stated? Or have you given up the evidence idea?

 

The Christ myth theory is not even a theory its a hypothesis. https://reasonsforjesus.com/jesus-exist-scholars-agree-certainly-existed/

 

The holiness, justice, and love of God in Christianity makes Christianity different from other beliefs. Christianity is the only belief where God reaches out to humanity, not humanity reaches out to God. Christianity is a relationship with God, not a religion. Religion is manmade concepts of who God is, not God the Creator and God the Savior. https://reasonsforjesus.com/7-differences-between-christianity-eastern-religions/

 

So you have given up on evidence?

 

Jesus removed the barrier of sin from between God and people. Job 9:33

Jesus is God. Jesus is the second person of the Trinity.

Job 9;33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

 

And yet another christian when challenged to provide evidence of their assertions can do nothing but quote from their magic book some extra special woo woo!

 

Psalm 19:1

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Nature reveals that the God who created everything is loving and righteous. https://carm.org/about-god/how-do-you-know-which-god-is-the-real-god/

 

"How do you know "Which God" is the "Real God" - sounds like a how to course on collecting stamps.

The question itself I suppose is not silly - but thinking that some book will give one the answer - never mind an apologist website - is silly indeed..

How about we have a "God" Contest - a contest between the myriad of Gods - the first one that shows up wins !

 

There is historical proof for the God of the New Testament. https://reasonsforjesus.com/7-differences-between-christianity-eastern-religions/

 

What happened to your apostles argument, could you not find the correct cut and paste to explain your beliefs?
Cut and paste Christians!

 

If Jesus is God, then he put that barrier there in the first place...

 

1) there is no historical proof for the existence of any God - only proof that some God had worshipers

2) Who is the "God of the NT" ? Who was God that Jesus prayed to and worshiped ?

A) God of Abraham "El" The Most High

B) God of Moses YHWH

C) Other ?

 

I was surprised when I saw that wording also...but it makes much more sense than the version that you quoted.
Here is your version....

Now see the wording in this version....
"When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment." John 16:8 NIV
He's saying the world is wrong about something referred to as sin, righteous and judgement....and he will prove it.
Would it be so hard for you to believe that Christians could be wrong about something.

 

Actually...he died because the religious leaders at that time...didn't want Jesus meddling with their flock.
The Scribes and Pharisees had a good thing going for themselves...they didn't like Jesus muscling in.

 

D) All of the above....ad infinitum

 

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.

 

The word "sin" is an archery term, used to describe how an archer was aiming for the target, but “missed the mark” when releasing the bow.
Brown-Driver-Briggs states sin is to miss the way, goal or path of right.

Jesus never actually "removed" anything....he just tried to show them that the barrier was a mistake to begin with.

Belief in the "barrier" is the "sin" (mistake)

 

Sin is real. Sin is behaviors that aren't godly. Sin separates people from God. Just like there are earthly laws we are supposed to follow, God has laws. https://www.gotquestions.org/God-hate-sin.html

 

"Sin" does not "do" anything.....people do.
People imagine themselves separate from God....because the Christians told them so.

 

People sin every day. The Ten Commandments are not so much a guide to follow, but they are a measuring stick to show us that we need a Savior. https://www.gotquestions.org/Ten-Commandments.html
