    Why do people believe what they believe?

    You're free to believe whatever you want, it just doesn't make it true that's all, there no 'orders' in the bible either, we have free will.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    There is no version of the truth, just THE truth, 'My truth' is simply a nonsensical statement.

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    The correct statement is that SOME Christians do not agree, just like some Muslims do not agree on their faith. Most Christians agree on the fundamentals, that is the truth of it. We're not at that point in history and haven't been for a long time. Yes, it's a generalisation. I don't live in...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    You could always try and debate the actual facts and data, provided by Governments' own sources that prove the case, instead of dismissing it without even having read it., that would be a start. I don't pretend, Cancer has been cured in various ways for over a hundred years, though to be fair...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    You either haven't read the bible or didn't understand it. It's quite clear we live in a fallen world, governed by the powers and principalities of darkness ( an evening in front of the TV is all it takes to verify this ). So I'm stood under my umbrella, in my wellies, and you've helpfully told...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    You're incredibly wide of the mark there, I don't take orders, I have free will, and I freely choose to accept Christ as my saviour and try to live a less sinful life based on the teachings of God written by men divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. In my experience this is infinitely preferable...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I know very well how forums work, the established pecking order, how newbie's are treated until acceptance or rejection, it's human behaviour, nothing new under the sun. People don't like being challenged by noobs, were supposed to doff our caps and do our time, I'm just not the 'meek' Christian...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    A child, or a life, is created at the moment of conception, you can play semantics if you like, but we both know what I'm referring to. Murdering children at whatever stage is a sin in God's eyes for obvious reasons. At what point do you humanists decide a life was created, how many weeks from...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I literally gave you a complete book to read, that easily addresses all the points I made, it's too long a subject to cover, it's not a one sentence answer. You could also go and check the check the discoveries of Ron Wyatt, use Odysee, Youtube is not keen on you knowing. For example, Noah's Ark...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Would these be the same 'humanists' dismembering babies, telling men they can have babies, telling men and women they can 'have it all', injecting poisons into humanity, overseeing the worse health outcomes in human history? Is the humanism and progressivism we can expect? a world where we're...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    No, obviously I don't endorse Islam or 'theocracies', so that's a bit of a strawman isn't it. When you have no moral or ethical roots you are damned by man's propensity for violence and sin, we're seeing it all right now, how's that going for everyone?

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    That would require you to conduct the same investigation Lee Strobel did, but you could always read his book and then tell me what you disagree with. I regularly investigate and question scripture and its meaning, I've yet to find out that the word of God is wrong. Of course I expect you not to...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    No, it isn't based solely on the scripture of that religion, it's based on the geography, historical events, eye witness accounts AND scripture of the religion, otherwise we just have a competition of essays. It just so happens that Biblical scripture is backed and supported by all those things...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    In secular societies how has that worked out so far? Nazism, Communism? not great is it.

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    How can it be a 'silly semantic game' to explain why there is only one valid religion when discussing that exact point? They accused me of being arrogant on that point, I explained why that is a ridiculous accusation based on scripture. I don't assume it, it's what the Bible tells us. You don't...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I don't have all the answers as I'm not God, but if you have been baptised, accepted Jesus as your saviour and repent of your sins, then you are saved, scripture is quite clear on this. Now if you continue to wilfully sin for the rest of your life then you will be judged by God accordingly, as...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Firstly, It's not 'my religion', Christianity is for everyone who chooses it. Calling God arrogant is not wise, the second commandment is quite clear, and God re-enforced that commandment with the Great Flood, an event recorded world wide in all cultures and evidenced geographically everywhere...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Anyone can claim anything, without evidence a claim is all it is. I didn't exclude anyone, I just mentioned the main players from a Western perspective. No, Churches where I live don't vehemently disagree on all these things, most are minor disagreements, you could pick any faith and make a...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I'd be genuinely interested to hear why you think that, and why you think you were 'indoctrinated'? I'm going to predict that the people you may describe were not Christians by deed, as is always the case. Why do you think life is better without a relationship with God?

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Yet you cannot explain logically how 'you know', because that is not true, you do not know, for instance how many of your claims are labelled 'theories'? Big bang? evolution? shall I go on? The community that is paid dependent on them pursuing the prevailing narrative? that community? And the...
