    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Really? The line in all four gospels is "If you ask the Father for ANYTHING in my name he will grant it..." I don't see anything in there about asking for God's will to be done. I only deal with the words in the promise. I don't get into all this malarkey about, "Well, what Jesus REALLY meant...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    You sure about that, True? Read Luke "In his torment in hell, the rich man looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus resting on his lap. So he cried out: 'Father Abraham, take pity on meand send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony here...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Of course they would. Picture Philo of Alexandria in Jerusalem during Jesus trial and his walk to Golgotha. According to the gospels Jesus was so famous over all Israel and Judea and even beyond into neighboring countries, he was like Donald Trump. He was a rock star. Someone that famous would...

    Yes it is.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    That wasn't the issue. It was a deflection from someone who can't face the truth.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Why not?

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    What I mean is what most scholars outside the Christian community mean: the gospels are NOT eyewitness accounts to Jesus' life. There NOT written by any apostles, certainly not Matthew and John. All the names of the gospels were added circa 180 CE by Irenaeus. "The majority of New Testament...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    You don't believe in hell. Fundamentalists do, others believe in universal salvation, still others believe in annihilation, some believe in purgatory, some do not. All this should tell people just exactly how scatterbrained Christian thinking is. Where is God or Jesus in all this to straighten...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    The point of the article was that NO prayers get answered that scientists could discern. They tested about 1800 patients. Divided into three groups. Two groups were prayed for. One was not. Members of one of the two groups prayed for were told they were being prayed for. The second was told they...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    I have to fill you in on a little study that was done on prayer, Trail. Here it is: Long-Awaited Medical Study Questions the Power of Prayer Prayers offered by strangers had no effect on the recovery of people who were undergoing heart surgery, a large and long-awaited study has found...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    It is somewhat presumptive of you to try to tell me what I believe and don't believe, isn't it Coulter? And to say not everyone wants to survive has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard a Christian say. But I am not surprised.

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Here's where we get back to the "Just believe God on faith. Don't ask questions,don't ask for explanations--JUST BELIEVE!" I don't subscribe to such an approach, especially in a religion that is lousy with conmen coming out of the woodwork. When I was a Christian, do you know how much money I...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    That's called using the Bible to disprove the Bible. ;)

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    An apology is in order. I jumped the gun and thought you were referring to my OP. But let's take what you post here and examine it. I couldn't disagree more. Even Paul is wise enough to say that a Christian should never marry a non-Christian. He was wise enough realize that was like mixing oil...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    I pride myself on the fact that I NEVER tell a lie or falsehood to further my position. I'd be happy to debate you on every single point you claim I am wrong on. Let's start with this: My source: Scholar Bart D. Ehrman says there is no record of Jesus having lived in these sources. In the...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    The outside sources say there is no evidence for the Jesus of the gospels, sorry. Read it for yourself. “In the entire first Christian century Jesus is not mentioned by a single Greek or Roman historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher or poet. His name never occurs in a single...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    More like the perfect copout, no offense. When anything in the Bible gets to convoluted or contradictory or, let's face it...ridiculous, then it's always "Ohhhhhh, God works in mysterious ways, don'tcha know? His ways are so much higher than our ways." Well, if God is going to be SO cryptic and...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    URAV, I don't know where you got this interpretation but it's just only one among maybe a thousand different interpretations of this troublesome passage that tries to whitewash God of the ugly things Paul says God is going to do. Instead of going into the Millennium and Jesus in hell and Pharaoh...

    When are the Christians going to wake up and realize that?:rolleyes:

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    This is not true, Coulter. John 6:37 makes it perfectly clear that it is the Father who makes the first move, not us of our free will: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me" We do not have the power to come to God of our free will. We were born in sin and dead to God as Paul makes...
