Try thinking outside the box in modern terms mate, Jesus was technically an alien visitor ("I am not of this world") and had knowldege of a superscience ("If you do not believe me, believe the miracles"), so it follows that all open-minded truthseekers will want to listen to him..:)
How about it...
If you mean me ripping crackpot christian cultists to shreds, I can only assume they know my reputation from 19 years of putting the boot into them on other boards and are therefore giving me a wide berth in RF, or perhaps they're wisely huddling together in the DIR forums where I can't get at...
Yes there are plenty of crackpot cults and sects about, they'e "Vanity Cults" who like to think they know more than the rest of us poor slobs, you should see me hammering them around internetland..:)
Yes,anybody who deviates from Jesus is a "spiritual pervert" but they can't get under the bible's radar-
"If anyone preaches a perverted gospel they're accursed" (Gal 1:6-9)
I don't want to kill them, I simply cross the street to avoid them, although I do enjoy ripping them to shreds in...
How many eyewitnesses would you like?-
"Large crowds from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him" (Matt 4:25)
"And the common people heard him gladly" (Mark 12 :37)
Heck he pulled crowds of over 5000 and 4000 at two gigs alone (Matt 14:13, Matt...
The "Establishment" are the sick controlling authorities, they and their lackeys hate Christianity because it's onto all their sly little tricks..:)
Paul said "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world...
Alright try this quote of Jesus himself in which he makes it clear that his job was done, he doesn't say anything about prophets coming later-
"Jesus said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit" ( John 19:28-30)
Hardcore creationists might do that "disprove" stuff, but no true christian ever would.
Like I've said before, I fully believe in evolution, but I also believe God tweaked it now and again to keep it on track..:)
Look at this map, christianity dominates it, but the Islam countries are little fish by comparison, and most of their land is barren desert anyway.
So Islam simply doesn't have the population and land area to overtake christianity unless the statisticians include camels and desert rats in their...
Sorry i've lost track what this thread is about, and I can't even see which verse is being talked about.
But whatever it is, if it's not in the bible then its a phoney..:)
Nobody knows.
This is an interesting passage-
God said to Moses-“..you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.
When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand...
If the statisticians base their data on the numbers of people attending mosques and churches, that means zippo because many Christians don't go to church (myself included) so we don't get included on their pocket calculators..:)
Regarding any quotes from the bible, we can easily see if they've been messed about with by either picking up our own bible to check or consulting an online one..:)
The fact remains, Christianity has been leading the pack for 1400 years, and what might or might not happen in the future is just speculation and guesswork..:)
