This thread is quickly becoming yet another prove Christianity thread. As much as we are tempted to debate Chrisitianity, let's keep that discussion in one of those other threads. We can also continue in private if you like Mystech. I cannot prove the existence of God yet (and I doubt that we can), but I have evidence to prove the Bible's accounts.Mystech said:You've got to be kidding, what are you even talking about here? Most of this stuff is working against Christianity and certainly disproves any literal interpretation of the Bible in many cases.
The Hindus have idols that drink milk, buddy, let's see your blinged out crusifix do that.
Drink milk? Really? I can pull a rabbit out of a hat! Pharoah could turn staffs to snakes. Magic gives not weight to anything, even Moses firgured that out.
The thing is that since the hearts of men never change, their writings apply today just as much as yesterday. For instance, when Paul writes to the churches, I am in awe how history repeats itself when we don't learn from our mistakes. We are becoming more and more like the ancient nations.Mystech said:Well I suppose this could be considered true to some certain degree, in that there are a lot of religions in the world and some of them happen to be younger than Christianity. Then again, Wicca and Scientology don't exactly carry a lot of weight in the world, and other than those Christianity is still sort of the new kid on the block. If age alone were a good qualification for validity of a religion then you should probably convert to Judaism, or seek some of that good ol' Eastern religion. Personally I'd go and spend some time with the Aboriginals of Australia, chances ar they've got one of the older religions in the world.
Then again some might see extreme age as a failing of Christianity. After all, looking to the mistranslated writings of an ancient nomadic desert wandering tribe who couldn't possibly comprehend the world we live in today, for all the answers both metaphysical and practical in the world seems kind of silly when you really sit and think about it.
You misunderstand. You need faith to go against rational thought.Mystech said:Hahaha, go ahead, I encourage you to start such a thread. I'd very much like to see this evidence and proof of Christianity as the one true religion. What ever happened to faith? You start going around and saying that empirical evidence and demonstrate some spiritual or theological truth, and you're setting yourself up for some heartache.
Don't misunderstand me, I cannot prove that Christianity is not mythological to those who do not have faith. I can prove Christianity vs any other religion in terms of absurdity. I can prove that it is the least absurd, and the one with the most evidence. The illogical teachings of other religions will make any atheist laugh more than they do at Christianity. What is the point though? Should I waste my valuable time doing that? How many souls could I save? I don't think it is worth my time. I need a reason to make a case such as this.
