    All gods are created by humans, and you are correct there are many, each as valid as the other. :worship:

    You have unequivocally stated you had definitive proof that Christianity is false. But by your latest response I see that you do not.

    Comparing Jesus's story to Odin's story or Hercules or Thor or Osiris or many others which are agreed to and referred to as mythology is there any particular reason this one should be considered

    different? It is just like those.

    Now your just acting like a 2 year old, or should I give you at least 8 year old.

    The Bible proves God's existence, it's just you choose not to read it, and only make assumptions and what you have heard about it. Read it.

    The bible proves nothing.

    My logic is sound... what upsets you is it is your logic used to prove you wrong... you know the same logic where you demand I prove god isn't real even though it is you making the claim and refusing to prove god is real.

    Your response uses words like "thought" and "theory" never "fact" or "truth", which doesn't help validate much.

    The book, the Bible is considered to BE, "Truth"; that is called Faith on my part. If there was proof on Creationism and God, then it would be all to believable and there would be no reason to have Faith, believing in the unseen. I'll take that leap in the dark towards a God who will catch me any day.

    You can't ask for visible/tangible proof from a religion that preaches Faith.

    "The Bible proves that God exists."

    "How?"

    "Because God wrote it and God always tells the Truth"

    "How do you know that?"

    "Because it says so in the Bible, which God wrote."

    "Ahhh...gotcha." :)

    The reason I use these terms would be because in scientific and rational thought things like "Truth" are used only when complete data and verification can be used to back it up. Thus do "Faith and belief" carry no weigh with me.

    I have a story about a person who was a powerful being...who had the power to turn water into wine.

    I have a story of another person....who had the power to resurrect himself from the dead.

    I have a story of a demi-god....who was born of a virgin human woman, who was impregnated by the Supreme Being.


    Are those myths?

    Then let that be your decision; to not have Faith, instead a belief system that can't comprehend 'what they cannot see' and let Christians believe what they feel is real and to be truth.

    I've never heard of Mary being a demi-god. If you've never read the bible don't regurgitate inaccuracies you've found.

    The Bible tells us the history, present and future. When perfectly accurate on these prophecies or predictions, it is only obvious that it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    if Jesus was the son of god and woman then that is a demi-god exactly like hercules.

    I suggest you don't assume inaccuracy where none exists.

    If it is any consolation I no longer believe in the Virgin Birth Theory and........ it was a near death experience account that changed my mind on that one.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...longer-believe-virgin-birth-jesus-yeshua.html
    I no longer believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus/ Yeshua!
    I did until December 2012 when I read The Thomas Book Near Death and a Quest for Another Gospel by the Twin Brother of Jesus.......

    This book has the potential to transform the relationship between Jews, Christians and Muslims!

    In November of 2012 I probably would not have believed you if you had told me that within two months I would no longer believe in the Virgin Birth of Rabbi Jesus/ Yeshua.... but then I purchased Bruce F. MacDonald Ph. D.'s book and went through a major theological crisis!!!!!

    Yes, I too have seen false churches. But keep in mind not all are false.

    The church I attend is true and loyal to Jesus.

    Those attending this church claim it is the true church, who are you to say different?


    The same claim made by those of every church.

    Well, mine is truthful.

    But if you don't go, you won't know.

    And since you haven't attended the one I referred to you can't know.

    You misunderstood my words.

    My words were not that that church was false my words were that all christian churches are based on false claims.
