Jesus claimed to be the Christ (see Matthew 16:15-17) - and indeed is so.
Jesus said: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will last for ever."
It was Jesus, in fact, who "invented" the Christian religion.
And since when is oral history less reliable than written history ?
Well, yes - it didn't create itself.
Created by nature or natural processes ?
But it was God who created them.
The First Cause of everything must be either God or blind Chance.

Hell is a magnet drawing wicked people - but they only go there if they choose to.
No one is sent to Hell by God (who is infinitely merciful and forgiving) - unrepentantly evil people merely gravitate there.
By God's grace, people can do right;- and who is a true Christian (a true believer) in the eyes of Jesus Christ - who is a good person - only He has the right to say.

That is a rejection of all goodness and kindness - a rejection that may...
Pornography is by its very nature and purpose, corrupt and corrupting.

What is self-evident is neither invented nor in need of supporting evidence.
It is those who deny the self-evident, who are bearing false witness.
Well, everyone's a sinner. But not everyone is afflicted with a sexual deviation such as homosexuality. And many people of homosexual orientation practise chastity.
Again, you are clinging desperately to your character-assassination ploy; of pretending that everyone who says that homosexual...
The world's two largest religions, Islam and Christianity, do agree with me; that's a large number of people.

Hence the saying: "Contraception has abolished Atheism."
