God Options

[waccoon]

i really see no reason to believe in him. there are so many arguments to his non existence. come on, you religious fanatics. bring it on.

Those who have written these verses have long believed in the same faith. They grew up already believing or were already looking for something/someone for salvation. God was the perfect choice because they were taught that He is loving and kind. These hundreds of thousands of men who wrote it doesn't convince me of God's existence because they're only saying that they've experience this 'revelation' of knowing God exist >>>

Excuse me unispiredfae?! Have you even read the Bible?

For one, the men who wrote the Gospel of Jesus (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) were born around and even before Jesus. So, tell me how they "grew up already believing" that Jesus was the son of God?

They didn't.

They all four, along with thousands of other people witnessed Jesus and the two criminals crucified on Calvary Hill and wrote their own accounts, seperate from each other, about what they saw. Amazingly, four men (and these are only the one's whose testimonies were saved) not even communicating with each other at the time all witnessed the exact same thing; that the marginally larger than thousand pound boulder which covered the entrance to Jesus' tomb was moved, and his body was gone.

Since you're so intent on logically proving something -- logically prove to me how one man, two thousand and four years ago, moved a stone of that size.

The pulley wasn't invented. Nor cranes. You can't fit 1,000 men on either side of the boulder to move it.

Just because it may be beyond your 2004 logic-thumping mentality and your insatiable desire to explain things like the philosophes and Voltaire in the 1700's. They got nowhere, and neither are you.

You ever comprehend that some things that are beyond your understanding, like the rising of Jesus from his tomb to Heaven, may not be a load of nonsense just because your so-called "advanced knowledge" and 2,004 year headstart have their skepticisms?

It's called open mindedness. You might try it sometimes, Voltaire.
