Just everything you want to hear.
Many good people struggle with their faith, especially when they hear or read attacks on the validity of Noah and the Ark (or any of many other Bible stories). God did not leave His existence without clear and convincing proofs that can be found inside and outside the Bible. One cannot use the story of Noah's Ark as the foundation of one's faith.
Ok..... Noah comes from Ziusudra, Moses is Sargon etc..... Most of your bible stories are shown to have come from the Sumerians. Have you read or even heard of the original stories? Until such time i don't think you can talk to me about validity. The bible is a translation of a translation of a translation gathered from Sumerian literature and stories handed down by people. You are obviously aware the bible is a multi-translated book but why is anything i quote from it mistranslated crap and anything you quote is absolute truth? Do me favour- go read Ziusudra. That would be a start.
And what do you mean using Noah's Ark, (Ziusudra), as the foundation of faith? If you refer to my quotes there was just one relating to Noah. The rest were from several different passages throughout old and new- I can give many more examples but felt i had made my point with those few. Of course it would be pointless of me to do so 'cause you'll just consider it 'mistranslated Greek'.
No where does the Bible suggest that God intends for believers to blindly, mindlessly follow without ever questioning.
Yes it does...Pretty much all the way through it. Have you even read the bible? Oh let me guess.. that was ignored as it was just mistranslated Greek?
The undeniable proof of His existence and the evidence of His love and power
Wow there's
Undeniable proof!! Well, kindly show it to me please... Oh.... you mean the story in the bible about the ressurrection? Man that's just mistranslated Greek.
I've had this discussion before... There is no 'undeniable proof'- don't be a fool or at least show that
undeniable proof. Regardless to this, even if a man did ressurrect it's proof of nothing. Sumerian texts are stacked with stories of people ressurrecting from the dead- they were aliens with that ability. Jesus could have been one of their kind- and i have evidence to suggest that.
Does it now make it
undeniable proof that aliens were here and ressurrecting because it says so in Sumerian texts? Well... what's the difference?
"Undeniable proof" is a very bold statement to make and one naive people like you shouldn't wave around so freely. I don't think any of you actually know what it means. Remember you live on 'faith' - Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
Once I became one hundred percent convinced that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead
Make up your mind.... one minute you have
undeniable proof the next it's nothing more than being 'convinced'. Show us all this
undeniable proof and we wouldn't need to be convinced- we'd accept and know.
The only conclusions that can be reached about Jesus Christ is that He was a legend, a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. Which conclusion have you reached?
He was an alien. What does it matter what conclusion anyone reaches? They still have no right to class it as
undeniable proof. To do a good job in anything you must start at the beginning and work towards the end- not just find the end and sit there.
Go out and read up on Sumerian texts etc. It explains many other ressurrections, has the original Genesis- the original Noah- the original Moses and so on.... If you haven't read any of it what position do you have to claim anything as
undeniable proof? It might open your eyes a little to your own belief. Even simple things can be found if you have the courage to look- For example Elohim that was incorrectly changed to meaning one God in the bible when Elohim in fact is a plural word meaning God
s. We are at the very beginnings of understanding- to understand further we search, ask, question and study. You on the other hand seem to think you've found the one and only truth- everyone else is just reading mistranslated Greek. Shocking.
If you don't yet trust the Holy Bible as a reliable witness
Well i prefer the original works. You yourself are aware the bible is mistranslated. How can mistranslation be reliable? Well?
then please read the evidence that comes from historical extra-biblical sources.
I think that's what you need to do.
The evidence is overwhelming, for those willing to take time to study it
So.. take the time. But frankly the evidence isn't overwhelming of anything.... You try and attribute everything, (apart from the bad things), to being God. Truthseeker used a great quote from the bible- what the evidence showed was it was talking about the sun. It was an early man way of explaining the planet, the planets in the sky- the events and catastrophy that happened etc... 2000+ years ago how would you describe an eclipse? How would you explain naturally occuring acid rain? Sand storms? Hell how would you explain falling fish etc? This is a proven occurence that to this day reasons can only be speculated about. What about comets? Shooting stars- which would have been a constant occurence without many street lights. Every year a million tonnes of rock falls from space- we don't see it too much cause of urban highly-lit areas. How would you explain that 2000+ years ago? What if Jesus didn't actually die... merely appeared dead? This is a proven 'illness' that does happen. People to all intents and purposes are dead. They eventually, (hopefully not too late), 'come back to life'. What is to suggest otherwise? The remaining friends of his would have written he ressurrected and buggered off into heaven. There's no
undeniable proof of anything. That's a fact. The simple fact i deny it and offer alternatives show it is in fact the opposite of undeniable.
I think people get confused by understanding it from a modern mans perspective instead of a 2000+ year old shepherds perspective. What you see and know as the sun, the moon, an eclipse, a tornado etc has been given to you by Science. Without that science we'd be closer to the thinking of shepherds.
What sickens me the most is this perverted down-grading of the value of human life. Frankly it's pathetic.
No where does the Bible suggest that God intends for believers to blindly, mindlessly follow without ever questioning.
That is exactly what you're doing.....
