Perhaps one of the best arguments based off empirical evidence, the more we learn about this planet and the universe, the more momentum this argument is actually getting. Having finished a year of…Continue

Ava Wilson replied to Adam Weber's discussion 'Who/What is a 'True Christian''"A true Christian follows the Bible to the letter in respect to Jesus. That being said, most Christians do NOT do this. Of course you can nitpick through the passages and pull out all the good ones of what the ideal Christian would or would not…"

Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"The contradictions are of minutiae, not substance; in essentials the synoptic gospels agree remarkably well, and form a consistent portrait of Christ. In the enthusiasm of its discoveries the Higher Criticism has applied to the New Testament tests…"
Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"Instead of making stuff up, you should read some credible scholars."
Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"Christians were known as Jews ;). Christianity started as a Jewish sect and quickly evolved due to become anti-semitic, or at least not very semetiic."
Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"Do you have any credible scholars to back yourself up? or is the pseudo-scholarship?
The Jews were monotheistic but lived in a polytheistic world. Granted the Jews probably spent most of their time being polytheists (Read 1st & 2nd…"

Oh boy, clearly we are not talking about the Rabbis who have degrees in theology or philosophy."

Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"Why are there only four?
The early church decided these gophels were credible and had authority.
They do all tell their own story, each story is different. "
Adam Weber replied to Sophie's discussion 'How many of you think that a historical Jesus never existed?'"Kept a sacred? Not at all. Christianity did spread like a wildfire. It went into Africa, Asia and Europe very quickly."

What is a ‘true Christian’?A lot of Christians claim that the people involved in the crusade, Inquisition and other crimes against humanity were not ‘true Christians’ and they had a distortion of the truth.Since Christianity is the largest religion people have had to define what a Christian is/was. Usually people define a religion by its beliefs, or at least its apparent beliefs. They believe that Jesus rose and died again, they also believe in some sort of eschatological ‘second coming’ and…See More
Adam Weber replied to Ingrid S's discussion 'One more soul to the call'"Welcome the think atheist. Although I am not an atheist (I am an Agnostic Christian) and also have doubts anyways. The God Delusion is not a very good book, philosophically speaking.
If you want a good book about Christianity and defending…"
Adam Weber replied to Hope's discussion 'The most harmful religion'"Hold on a second. You do realise all the great recent philosophers were Christians/theists (that includes the John Locke who 'invented' empiricism).

elaine kilshaw said… OK Adam, you can have your opinion. I know I wont go to hell because there is no heaven or hell. How wicked is that thing called religion that tells you one thing then another to suit their purpose.
Enjoying our banter, anything I say is not personal. What does god look like if he exists, or she, or it, Show me and prove to me that a god exists until then I will continue loving everyone, not ill treating them and have compassion. Which it seems a god should be able to do and therefore would help starving children.. How many priests will be in hell then if you believe in it. A lot maybe who have abused little children. Get the world straight before saying there is a good god. He must be rich if he exists as the rich always look after their own.

Proof has not been forthcoming in support of Jesus as the son of god, perhaps it was Joseph who impregnated Mary. We only have the word of many who never lived during the time. . In the name of an evil god there has and always will be an excuse for killings. Those who are white believe in a white god, black -a black god- chinese believe ....- etc. Your god hates me and wants me to go to hell. Nice eh.
