In nearly every debate, people always seem to insist on using "I believe this because of my religion" or "it's in the bible."
However, are these actual valid foundations for debate? |

Wasn't it the Romans who had a court system who rebuilt the Bible by taking out "chapters and scriptures" of all sorts to fit their government? Or is my information incorrect?
And having idols, pictures/drawings, engravings, etc... of God and his creations such as heaven, angels, prophets, etc... is a sin. Why do Christians have crosses, pictures of jesus, pictures of prophets and their followers, why do they have pictures of mary? Why do Catholics pray to Mary? Why do they pray to idols such as pictures, crosses, and statues? Why do Christians believe in confessions? Or atleast the Catholics do. Is it not a sin to confess your sins to anyone or anything for that matter but God? Jesus CANNOT change the laws of God. God does not give Jesus that privilaige. If God did... prove it. Also why do Christians believe in these new prophets... supposedly there's these couple of men claiming to be prophets and they preach to thousands of Christians. God closed the seal of prophet hood... so what's the deal? Jesus was given a test, a test to prove that he was worthy enough to become the Messiah. He passed the test, he defeated temptations over and over. Also... unlike the Qur'an which you can take literally... the Bible has random scriptures where you take literal and many times not taken literal... what's with the mind games? |
