    Does Atheism Lead to Immoral Behavior?

    There are many places in the Bible where God says He will fix (restore) things. https://marisadamore.com/verses/40-bible-verses-about-restoration This one is a good promise from God: Acts 3:21 – Restoration of All Things "whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things...

    Religions answers to the suffering of innocents

    Christianity does not seem to have all the answers. Blaming God for suffering seems to be true in the sense that God made this universe and the potential for suffering and that God uses our suffering for our good at times. Blaming those who are suffering for their own suffering seems true at...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    I have just been listening to a short video from someone who seems to have been a Jew who became a Christian and realise that the video answers/speaks of some of the points that you raise.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    The OT is the word of God together with the NT. Even though the Jews who rejected Jesus disagree, the ones who accepted Jesus and Christians today say that what Jesus did fits the OT prophesies of the Messiah. OTOH Islam straight out denies the accuracy of parts of both the OT and NT. The...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    To me, what you just said means that you deny the older scriptures, the Hebrew and Greek scriptures and replace them with the scriptures that came from Muhammad, saying that Muhammad knows best and the Book that the people of the Book believe is wrong.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    It appears to be all made up imo. All made up by people without faith in the power of God to prophesy and to set up cross references in the scriptures which really happened. These people actually see made up stories where real history exists because their aim is to discredit the gospels and the...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    That does not make sense for a start. What do you want me to do, argue against your cut and past quotes of modern historians that you assume to be correct? In the 4th gospel John is writing to Gentiles mainly and uses concepts familiar in Greek philosophy I guess, but with the centre being...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    2Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    So believe the Hebrew scriptures which say the same thing.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    Luke 9: 22“The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.” Islam denies what Jesus did by His death, iow Islam denies the gospel message. It sounds spiritual and even...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    And opinions about the historicity of the gospels and the evolution of Christian beliefs are not "history" even if you might think that those opinions are what actually happened. I have met people who say that the only reason that people cannot fly is that they have been told that since they...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    All I have to do is to look at Paul and his writings to see that the existence of Jesus was known to the early church and that nobody was saying "Jesus? Jesus who?", not even the Jews of the time. Jesus was a known historical figure then and nothing has changed. I hope you don't think it an...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    Does that mean that you think that it is impossible for God to ever resurrect the dead?

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    There is evidence that the resurrection is true, but there is not proof of it. I believe it to be true and others believe other world views without proof. There is no reason to think that the resurrection could not have taken place and did not take place. If I had evidence that there were...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    Jesus did predict to his disciples in the gospels that he would be killed and rise again from the dead. He also told His disciples that the Messiah's suffering and death was needed and prophesied. By denying it, Islam denies that Jesus died for the redemption of many.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    You want things proven that cannot be proven and it is not a matter of proving anyway. It is a matter of believe or reject. They are claims, opinions, that is all.

    And your glasses make you look so intelligent. I guess they must be because you are half blind.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    At least you have evidence that the 6 days are not literal.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    It's usually interpretations of history. I'm not as important as that. However what you said highlights the fact that people of different beliefs probably start with different assumptions and don't realise it and make logical fallacies without realising it. And of course Christians do that...
