[@Jacen777]

That's about right. Unfortunately

[@Gek1177]

Well the academic determination is that the various books of the NT were written between 20 and 90 years after the death of Jesus by anonymous authors educated in koine Greek. The only part of the NT written by a known author are the Pauline Epistles which come between 20 and 40 years later.

[@oreally8605]

​@Gek1177 you just heard what Frank said. And we're supposed to believe you?

[@JakeLeidahl]

​@@Gek1177 ......known author ........according to whom? Some liberal scholars 2000 years later? Atheists on the internet? We absolutely know the authors as not only is it self authenticating but we have sources that confirm in the 1st and 2nd century. The books were written in the lifetime of the eye witnesses by the eyewitnesses. If you would like proof we can have that convo again but last time you deleted your post when proven wrong. Creeds existed immediately after Jesus was resurrected. Most ppl did not have books as we have today but the message was preserved in letters from the people who knew Jesus and saw for themselves.....and died for Him 2000 years later ppl disrespect them on the Internet with false claims

[@2l84me8]

There’s nothing wrong with the youth. They are simply rejecting the immoral fairytales from the older generation. This is progress and you think it’s a bad thing.

[@shalomsister]

​@@Theo_SkeptomaiThe verse is Romans 1:22 and the "they" are the ungodly and unrighteous. Rom. 1:18-21 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men , who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and God head, so that they are without excuse, because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." And that's who"they" are. People think they're so wise and that those who believe Biblical truth are fools. It's the opposite because you can become very wise by reading, meditating on and believing the Scriptures. God bless you!😊✝️🫂❤️

[@Theo_Skeptomai]

@@matiasnunes7250 Do you believe the gospels to be true and factual accounts?

[@ChiefsShawn]

@@Theo_Skeptomai KZbin unfortunately isn’t the greatest place for these types of discussions as I only access it via mobile device. I was agnostic until 2018. My open mindedness probably varies from topic to topic to be fair. Ex: there is no openness to the idea that the Chiefs get “all the calls” or are “favored by the refs”. All that to say I had a direct intervention from God that brought me an agnostic directly to my knees. I would be happy to record my testimony if you have interest. Ultimately, I came down with an illness that made it impossible to have kids and potentially would kill me. It caused me to have suicidal thoughts as I knew I had wanted children since I was 12 and my oldest nephew was born. The rest of my story is better in video form. We all have different journeys towards what we deem to be the truth. I would say when it comes to finding Christ it’s a lot like searching for a whale, and if you only search on land you will never find one. If you really want to see if God is real you will need to open your heart to the possibility and attend a good church. Unfortunately as I am sure you may ask what designates a good church, there are many but also some that are bad. Bad churches are one of the most common reasons I find that people leave the faith. Generally speaking it has a fair amount to do with the congregation and pastor(s). If you take nothing else from this, read “The Case for Christ”. It was written by an Atheist from an Atheist’s perspective. I wish you nothing but the best truly.

[@cinny.]

From the beginning it makes me think that he doesn't know the bible wasn't written in 1 whole book all at once. It sounds like he thinks it was "published" as a whole like a book in the 21st century when it was written on scrolls, passed down orally, collected from several books, and combined with letters and other forms of text.

[@nathanielalderson9111]

@@mattr.1887 Ill try to explain why. 1. This request of personal attendance by God to our questions (of many atheists and Christians alike) is based in ignorance and ego. 2. Flesh and Divine do not mix. Why? Because sin gets burned up in the presence of the Holiest God. The closer you are to God, the more urgent and important it is to deal with one's own sin, before God deals with it. 3. That's why Jesus Christ is considered necessary, because according to the Bible, God saw that humanity is incapable of keeping the requirements of the laws of the God King. 4. Jesus Christ is God, in human form, conceived in Mary, and birthed as a huMan. Sinless. Without the corruption of the first man, and continued sinless until His physical death. He's the ONLY human that can stand fully before God and not perish from the overwhelming Holiness emanating from God's very Being. Think of it this way. A steel girder that is weak, or has any rust in it, is not suitable to carry the weight of a skyscraper. It is not fit for purpose. Sin is like rust and corruption. Jesus has no sin. Jesus can carry the weight and burden of The Holy God. If you want your questions answered, I invite you to stand on or under Jesus. Join the family. He's the One who can, and will, give the answers we seek.

Whew boy. He wasn’t doing his atheist brethren any favors by showing up unprepared and looking like that. That shows his blatant disregard for the gospel accounts. He thought he could hand wave it off like many of the more ignorant ones do. A Google search? Let me tell you, if Christianity and the gospels could be so easily disproven and discredited as by a mere google search, don’t you think that would have been accomplished already?! You think you’re the first? Come on, man.

[@mattslater2603]

Uhhh it's even easier then that. All you need to do is point out... correctly... that not even one of the silly supernatural claims of Christianity have ever been shown to be factual... And it should die right there. If the person is just commuted to being a delusional zealot with no critical thinking skills... Then they're already lost.

Your response reads differently. “No proof as usual.” Sounds like you lean a certain way to me. “Proof,” for anything, is always there when you want to see it. And my statement is basically, right. No sloppy google search is going to just upend Christianity like he thought. If you’re going to deal a mortal blow, it’ll take more than that. Christianity has a surprising amount of historical verifiability that makes it hard to dismiss.

[@harryfaber]

I had just walked in from work, banged the TV on, saw the news, went back to my office, asked if my boss had seen it, he hadn't, by then it was already being repeated and was becoming very clear that it was no accident. We started 'planning', how would we react to something similar in London. The following day, I spoke with people who worked in London who dealt with the businesses, the people, that worked in the Twin Towers. I remember the sudden lack of aircraft in our overhead. The shock of what had happened and the fear of what might follow. I also remember hearing the bang from the bomb that killed Airey Neave, where I was when I heard about JFK. I remember the mood of the people around me, I do not remember the dates, but I can look them up. I can still hear a woman called Molly Dunmall saying 'that was a bomb' when Airey Neave died.

What?!? Identify just ONE _evidentiary fact_ that suggests this supposed resurrection occurred.

[@kinggenius930]

I too would be curious of non-Biblical evidence for the Resurrection

[@Theo_Skeptomai]

​@kinggenius930 I have studied this topic extensively for nearly 40 years now. I have not found ONE _evidentiary fact_ that suggests the historicity of Jesus, much less the supposed ministry, trial, crucifixion, or resurrection of Christ. The supposed sources are from Cornelius Tacitus, Gaius Suetonius, Pliney the Younger, Mara Bar Sarpian, Flavius Josephus, and a few others. NONE of these speak authentically or directly to the historicity of Jesus.

[@mattslater2603]
