    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    So, what happened to his physical body? If he was resurrected in spiritual body, his physical body must have remained and decayed normally. You understand that this theory raises questions as to whether Jesus resurrection was literal or spiritual. Not true. On all his post resurrection...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    That means nothing...There are other translations without comma... Peculiar and fictitious story for me. Firstly Jesus appeared to lie, or at least to exaggerate matters. Secondly that was the most easily given forgiveness, without the culprit accept Jesus as savior and not even repent for his...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Gospel writers are unknown.

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    I think the gospels writers over reacted in their writings concerning the post resurrection period, making it difficult for people to believe the stories. I mean honestly, you have zombies coming out of their tombs and running around Jerusalem and nobody else writes anything about them, neither...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    I'm sorry, but according to Augustine of Hippo, the term 'angel' refers to "the name of their office, not their nature", as they are pure spirits who act as messengers, clarifying: "If you seek the name of their nature, it is 'spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it is 'angel': from...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    I agree, in which case there will never be anything supernatural established and therefore we are wasting our time discussing it. It is the same as the discussions regarding whether God exists.

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    No, I don't think that is reasonable, since as you said, nobody can establish if the "supernatural" claim exists. It's the same as claiming that is reasonable for fairies to exist.

    Well, from 1964 to 2015 nobody won the James Randi prize money...:):shrug:

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Just a few more explanations please.. Why nobody recognize Jesus after the resurrection? Also why in Luke 24 his companions could not recognize him, but a couple of hours later they could? Was it a game? How could Jesus eat, drink and also pass though walls?

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    So what about Jesus words to the thief “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise”? Did Jesus go to paradise that day? Or in the underworld? And didn't these Jesus words, contradict his own words in Matthew 7:28 and Revelation's judging of the dead?

    Morality of the Old Testament

    I agree.

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    So you need to believe first, then pray and then God may give you the interpretation.. But if you come to believe, then you don't need anyone to give you the interpretation. You will find it yourself easily.:shrug:.

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    The key to deciphering any biblical text is to view it in context. Isaiah 53 is the fourth of the four “Servant Songs.” (The others are found in Isaiah chapters 42, 49 and 50.) Although the “servant” in Isaiah 53 is not openly identified – these verses merely refer to “My servant” (52:13, 53:11)...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    :laughing::laughing: Wrong once more..The suffering servant is Israel and here is the proof from the same prophet... Isaiah 41:8-9 "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham my friend, 9 whom I have taken to myself, from the remotest parts of the earth and...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    If you maintain that the Synoptic Gospel writers, as John suggests, recorded miracles with the intent of inspiring belief in Jesus, but they considered more miraculous the healing from fever than the greatest miracle of Jesus on earth, then we can not have any discussion. Maintaining this...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    I disagree. Firstly I mentioned the greatest miracle of Jesus whilst on earth and then I compared it with Jesus resurrection. But if we are to compare resurrections, Lazarus was the greatest and the reasons are: 1) Both resurrections were caused by God (John 5:30 "I can do nothing on my own")...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    My opinion on this discussion is realistic and unbiased. Your replies are extremely biased when the only excuse you can offer is that each gospel has material that others don't. In all synoptic gospels almost all other miracles are mentioned by their respective authors. For any reasonable...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    Your claim is not true. The more we go back in the last centuries, the more Christians we found. You probably didn't read the Pew Research's findings. In 1972, when the GSS first began asking Americans, “What is your religious preference?” 90% identified as Christian and 5% were religiously...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    Hmm.. that may be your idea. What we experience is that as education increases in civilized and educated countries, the percentage of atheists/agnostics is slowly but constantly increases. 1. How U.S. religious composition has changed in recent decades No, but considering that John wrote that...
