    Of course I've read the Bible--as a Christian for 60 years before investigating its origins and the shady shenanigans surrounding its development. I know for example, perhaps you don't, that the Greek scholars who wrote the gospels, far as we know, didn't have any sources--notes or documents...

    Certainly not Jesus. We have no proof he lived--no writings from him, no archeological evidence of him, no evidence of the purported apostles who supposedly accompanied him. We have zero, zilch evidence for the Jesus of the gospels--which are just basically religious advertisements for people...

    But then there's Paul Romans 10:9 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. But I agree the Christian doctrine is confusing as hell, being man-made.

    But if you don't believe he rose--based on absolutely no evidence he did--God will condemn you to eternal torture in the flames of hell. That's the Christian god that loves you with an unmeasurable love, lol

    1213 wasn't interested in knowing something that might be embarrassing to early Christianity, not surprisingly so I'll tell you all anyway: The reason only 4--not 3, not 5,not 6, not 7--only four was decided by irenaeus didn't have anything to do with Jesus or God or the inspiration of the HS...

    1213, I suggest you do some reading on how 4--and just 4 gospels, not 3, not 5 not 6 were chosen for the canon. The reason is so ridiculous that even you might be surprised.

    I don't say. Millions of people who have had NDE's say, not counting a handful of radical fundamentalists, notably Bill Weiss who post videos like this nonsense. naturally he's selling books:

    True enough.

    Christians don't like NDE's because what the vast majority of people who have had them say severely contradicts Christian dogma. No doubt this is why you vehemently dislike them. Millions of people ranging from Christians to Hindus to Buddhists to atheists who have had them say that there is no...

    Then take it all on faith. That's what I heartily recommend. Because without documented proof that's all you've got.

    the four Gospels circulated anonymously for decades after they were written. To some modern readers that seems surprising. Why wouldn’t the authors name themselves? Surely they named themselves. Didn’t’ they? The clear answer is, no, they did not. Why Are the Gospels Anonymous? | The...

    Because all we have are Greek manuscripts. It's pretty obvious.

    * show us the historical records of the apostles existing. The truth is you cannot. * you believe Matthew was written in Hebrew but can you produce proof? * if you want to believe all this based on faith I have no problem with that. Just be honest and say, "There's no secular proof for any of...
