    Disbelievers in Christianity Answer Please!

    I have always said that Jesus was a comforter and that the Holy Spirit is the other comforter that Jesus promised to His disciples (of 2000 years ago) and that the Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of Truth. All these things are plainly stated by Jesus. Jesus was a Comforter who sent another...

    Jesus - First Born?

    The exhortation is to be humble with those who are your equal. Phil 2 tells us that Jesus was equal to God and gave up that equality to become a servant, a man,,,,,,,,,,,,, lower than the angels. If Jesus was not equal to God then it was a silly example to use. Phil 2: 5 Have this mind among...

    Jesus - First Born?

    The pre human Jesus is called "The Word" at John 1:1. All things were brought into existence through the Word (John 1:3) just as the world/universe was made through the Son. (Heb 1:2) So the Word is the pre human Son of God.

    Muhammad disagrees with the words of God in the Hebrew Scriptures and with the gospel message.

    We both say that Jesus promised another Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, and that the first comforter was Jesus. It is just that you are claiming that the promised Comforter is Baha'u'llah and I am saying that the promised Comforter is the Holy Spirit---just as John 14:26 tells us. I am also...

    John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,6 to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and...

    Jesus - First Born?

    You are missing the point again. Heb 1:2 tells us that God made the world or universe through the Son. You are concentrating on "through" and completely missing "the Son". "The Son" shows a living being, not a quality such as "wisdom" or a command such as God's Word. So I use the same argument...

    True. Nevertheless even if answers were found that is still going to be speculation based on the presumptions used. I like to call it educated guess work, but for many it is no doubt more than that because the presumptions (eg no supernatural input) is the facts for them. It is treated as such...

    Life From Dirt?

    In a democracy someone is going to push their morality onto the people. I do not completely agree with wanting to force people to comply with the morality of conservative Christians in the USA however. I can't speak to how it might be there however as I am in Australia.

    Life From Dirt?

    Joshua was told to build an altar on Mt Ebal and to read the curses and blessings of the Law to the Israelites. There is an altar there and I think possibly another under that one. If the curse tablet is true then both the altar and the tablet are evidence for the truth of the exodus and...

    The evidence for God is obvious but still rejected by many imo The evidence for Jesus is prophesied historic events confirmed by witness and all many people can do is say it is BS and that they won't believe unless they see Jesus for themselves and put their fingers in His nail wounds and put...

    Yes, as I said, it's all crazy stuff. They believe Baha'u'llah when he praises the Bible and then in the next breathe they deny the Bible. It's so easy to see for those who are not in it.

    Yes it's crazy stuff. @Trailblazer will reply to the post I just did and sincerely say that John 14:26 does not say or mean that the Comforter is the Holy Spirit. Confirmation Bias is a mild definition of what is happening.

    With John 14:16 you see that Jesus is a Comforter but miss that the other Comforter that is promised, is promised to the disciples to whom Jesus was speaking. So that eliminates Baha'u'llah as the other Comforter. If we look at not just John 14:16 we can see that this other Comforter is the...

    Life From Dirt?

    Modern skeptical approach to history has trashed the historical value of the Bible for many and has turned a presumption that the supernatural is not true into historical fact that the Bible is BS. It's a bit like you wanting the existence of God to be proven before the Biblical evidence can be...

    There is no evidence for a spaghetti monster, anywhere. There is evidence for a creator God but it is just evidence that science cannot use. So basically you are demanding scientific evidence and OK that is the way you think and see reality but it is not the be all and end all of thinking and...

    The errors etc in the Bible and the historical mistakes have been greatly exaggerated imo.
