Christianity

[Jimmy]

You said: I think the majority of Christians believe in Jesus’ physical resurrection. That pretty much defines a Christian.
I said: So what??? What I meant is this: Why would it matter what people believe? People believe all kinds of things but does not mean they are actually true.

Ok

Two billion people believe a man rose from the dead. What does that tell you? Do you mean to tell me two billion people are out of touch with reality and need psychiatric help? I doubt that. What’s really going on? Think about it.

If one man could make a mistake so could two billion people as long as they are humans, please, right?

Regards

Well nobody came forward to quote from Jesus/Yeshua- the truthful Israelite Messiah, in first person in a straightforward and clear manner that he rose from the dead, please?
Does it mean that it is a fabrication/accusation of the Hellenist-Paulian-Church that it has got nothing to do with the reality and or that Jesus rose from the dead, please, right??

Don't know quite why you started a new thread on this that's practically identical to the last one. Didn't you like the answers? Anyway, my answer is the same

Jesus

So 2 billion people that believe Jesus physically rose from the grave are wrong? Wow! That’s a lot of gullible people! Haha.

No, it doesn't mean they need psychiatric help, lots of people just don't think very much about traditions, religion and culture. People on this kind of forum who debate and attempt to reason (with varying degrees of success) about them, are the exception. Most people aren't good at critical thinking in general either, as can be shown in responses to many problems that have been put to the public (sometimes even the majority of people who should be able to tackle the problems do very poorly too).

That people can believe any nonsense if it suits them.

People have been posting the same threads over and over for years here. Did I not wait long enough? Lol

I know it can be a bit repetitive here but you basically started the same thread on consecutive days, when the first one was still active. Why didn't you just add your additional comments to the first one? Again, did you not like the answers you got?

Only 2 billion? Yikes! That leaves more than 5 billion people who don't believe in resurrection.

Yes, they are completely out of touch with reality.

Christianity is more a social culture than a belief, so it has nothing to do with the masses of people who never seen or read anything else but an old ancient book of mythology and happily living in pretty stained glass enclosures wearing rose colored glasses while mentally mastrubating with their imagination over various tales of grandeur, promises, and adventure.

I believe Jesus soul rose from the death, not his body. So i believe in spiritual resurrection. I am not a christian but I know many christians believe in spiritual resurrection. But it is not bad or wrong to believe in physical resurrection. Its part of the christian religion. And no, two millions people do not need psyciatric help. Religion is not madness.

Your view makes sense. These other folks, many cremate their dead. How are ashes going to resurrect?
