So if he says he doesn't just believe God exists but knows God exists, you'll give him icecream?

And who are you to know or say what it teaches and doesn't teach?
Do you read your Bible or pretend to read it?
You haven't seen Bible pages promoting slavery, misogynism etc?

So do you believe every single thing written about Socrates including the contradictory things?
Just because contrary things were written about him doesn't mean he did not exist . Secondly, many narratives of today are not 100% accurate...


In case you've forgotten, here's one of the blunders made by the modern day historian (aka the Media) and it will forever be recorded in the archives

The question is not about whether he existed or not, my question was do you believe everything written about him including the contradictory things.

Exactly. So you cannot say to someone everything in the Bible written about Jesus is true because there was a person called Jesus.

1. Which sinner saw him?
2. Writing together a bunch doesn't mean it's a sensible sentence. If you had any understanding you would have known Jesus didn't tell them not to stone her. Just like the rest of your other assumptions it shows you speak more on things you know little about and you neither listen to answers of questions you claim to ask.
3. Are you not so fixated on your twisted logic that you would even deny the very God that did not command human sacrifice but condemned so gods and demons that did, abolishing the nonsense men practiced in their search for power.


Morality and righteousness that comes from God does not change. If you like agree if you like don't agree. Men are still free to create their own form of morality and righteousness, or even self righteous. Whatever men create is only a copy of what they have seen
1. If Jesus is Yahweh, then its obvious the sinners he healed saw him. Question is, as a Christian, have you seen Yahweh?
2. If you can read properly I said stoning adulterers is okay in the old testament. Did I lie? In the new testament, Jesus didn’t tell them not to stone but he didn't allow them to stone an adulterous but he advocated forgiveness, reason why he said 'he without sin should throw the first stone'. Did your Yahweh advocate for forgiveness when he made commandments to stone adulterers? No! Is that not a morality paradigm shift?
I realized you didn't even counter any of the points I made, you just said i comment on what I know nothing about, without stating specifically what was wrong. That's a deflection technique y'all theists exhibit.
3. You just said morals came from many gods, didnt you? So why get offended when I mentioned some of them?
By the way, which god demanded Abraham offer his son as sacrifice? Baal? Allah?
We didn't say morals didn't come from your yahweh, but the point was it was dynamic, relative and of course, wasn't the only source of morals

Our focus was on his existence ...not miracles nor His divinity. Which brings me to my point : Jesus did exist , and if he did , then the bible's account must be true. Therefore, it will be foolishness not to believe in the existence of a God. It's as simple as that
Lol. Doesn't it bother you or sound odd that the only non-bible mention of yahweh and jesus, the creator of the world, the man that resurrected people and even resurrected from the dead, was a sentence?
If someone performed miracles and even resurrected from the dead, do you think its only one newspaper that would carry that news?
Lol. christians are a special brand of stupid. A severe type of psychosis

It seems you're not following the thread but I'll update you on it.

Josephus and Tacitus (two non-christian historians) admitted in their annals , that a man called Jesus existed . These men were known to be neither biased or religious in their accounts of historical facts . Which makes the validity of Jesus's existence true . Besides that's, other eyewitness accounts from the Bible verify the truth of the man Jesus .

So I don't see the connection here between New York and Spiderman .
I just showed you Josephus's account was faked. And Tacitus used a sentence to describe Jesus. For all we know, it may be another Jesus since its a common name.
Besides those accounts doesn't justify anything about the deification of Jesus. That means he was a common regular folk, not a god like y'all say. The only place he was deified was your bible

Number 1 you said if, and Jesus isn't Yahweh. You were expecting me to counter shocked sorry to disappoint you, my response was the best answer for you. And I never said morals came from gods.

There's no point having a conversation with someone who isn't following the discuss nor remembers correctly what was written. I am not offended by you just disinterested in discussing with someone that seems to be talking with someone else. Honestly your posts are disjointed.

You haven't answered any of my questions have you? You came up with an illusions that I am offended by you mentioning gods I don't care about.

The only point you have made is to disagree with me that God Almighty didn't teach morals to the first man, because you believe you originated from monkeys. Since that's what you absolutely believe stop wasting your time asking questions you don't want the answers to. And live the life you believe in

see what I am saying how does me reading the bible give you a right to teach scripture or speak about the intent of it.

Here is what I asked you
And who are you to know or say what it teaches and doesn't teach?

There have been devils, demons and agents who have claimed what scripture taught and there are those trained to understand what is written.

You can here claiming the Bible promotes slavery, when the God of the same people recorded in the book delivered his people from slavery. Sent his servants to delivery the people from slavery to sin.

How do you live with yourself lying about things you know little about. Does it give you joy or what shocked

Who told you we came from monkeys?
How does the Great Ape translate into monkeys? Hope you know our DNAs are almost the same. In fact if I bring ape and human bones together , you wouldn't know the difference. And of course, there is scientific evidence we came from the great ape. Is there evidence of creation? No. Even the catholic church realized how wrong creationism is and are trying to inculcate evolutionism, Big Bang into their teaching.
Jokes on you, theist
oh I am sorry forgive me. Didn't know your ancestor was a great ape and not a mere monkey grin wink cheesy cheesy
