Sorry about the ambiguity. I am referring to how you differentiate the validity of the faith that you say was bestowed upon you from the validity of another person's faith that is just as strongly held is something different than yours. My point in bringing up contrasting faiths is how it is...

As opposed to the work of men CLAIMING to speak for God.....

Rudo, how do you verify that YOUR faith and what it entails is directly bestowed upon you from the creator of creation as opposed to another person's faith that has an equally convicted opposing viewpoint?

The scriptural support for this is sorely lacking. Instead, the scriptures say that man became a living soul, not that man has a living soul that comes into him. Where's the issue? And this POV is backed in scripture, where? You are seemingly projecting your beliefs into an explanation of...

It appears that you are conflating the concept of a resurrection with life continuing after death when the 2 are far from one and the same. It seems that in scripture, the dead remain dead UNTIL they are raise BACK to life in a resurrection. While they are dead, they're actually NOT living.

2 Thessalonians 1:4-2:12 would appear to be able to be summarized as follows: In the above text Paul begins by championing the endurance and faith the Thessalonians exhibited through their persecutions. He tells them that God would repay the ones persecuting them and at the same time would...

In 2 Thessalonians 2, we have a discussion pertaining to "the man of sin." Who do you believe is being talked about in that passage? Who this "Lawless One" is or was is debatable. Many think it is an endtime antichrist while others claim it was a 1st century figure like Nero or Titus, and still...

Matthews Mishaps......

I doubt the writer's claim that men who saw the resurrected Jesus existed. The allegations are that the writers of the NT were either misled or flat out fabricating what actually happened in the decades prior to them pinning the gospel accounts. The 1st century believers are not the ones being...

You seem to be connecting me to Darwin as if I am some sort of religious follower of his words. I'd only accept a teaching from Darwin, or anyone else for that matter, as truth IF what they say is supported by evidence and reality. Darwin is NOT my pastor. I will perhaps delve into the content...

Unusual is a HUGE understatement. Try IMPOSSIBLE as it better describes the second hand narratives written a generation after said events would have occurred. Again, eyewitness testimony is lacking AND please also note that eyewitness testimony is not exactly the gold standard for evidence...

If they don't apply to him them the idea that he fulfilled them loses all relevance. Additionally, many lack specifics or supernatural prophetic substance that would demand the involvement of a power greater than man. Of the 356, can you share with me just 5 you see as the strongest so we can...

Read the post it is a response to. That post asserts that "someone has to be right" and my response illustrates that that is if fact not the case always as all answers can be incorrect as they are in my example. Stop it friend. I am well versed in your version of the Christian doctrine so no...

SO says the writer, Luke. Again, there's no way to corroborate his account to determine its accuracy.

It is credible to believe figures the those listed above lived. The difference between them and Jesus is that one is better categorized as mythical than historical due to the nature of what's attributed to him. Was there likely a person in early 1st century Palestine known to the region as...

Huh? I just SPECIFIED a period of existence from whence consciousness begins. Everything we know about consciousness ties it to a biological life form's life. If, big if. If someone that was dead were to return, I'd definitely give ear to what they say. Too bad that scenario has not proven to...

No, Christian baptism began in the 1st century. The timeline for what Ezekiel mentioned was likely referring to a time centuries earlier.

Accept it's not as we can point to a beginning period where consciousness begins for each individual. The lack of consciousness prior to conception, birth, and development illustrates the fact that consciousness is in fact finite and begins due to a traced biological process. If it begins as...
