Anything new to offer? He may very well be the 1,000,000th poster to post this same old argument, fortunately for him he is correct!! There is no proof!! Unfortunately for you however, no written text by men hundreds or thousands of years later of the he said she said conversations, qualify as proof!! Nor does any claims of prophecies fulfilled qualify as substantial proof either!! It's not of any difficulty to mold events to a prescribed outcome by TPTB in order to protect their religions formed around written scripts!! As I said to another poster not long ago, the burden of proof resides in the demented playground of christianity, and to date their has been none, zilch, nada!! ___________ If it expects, or demands worship, it is not divine!!

The burden of proof lays squarely on the shoulders of the naysayer. That would be the OP in this case.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 510347Exactly, they are looking for support in their denial of what the bible says. They don't trust themselves or their beliefs. "What if I'm wrong???" is what they truly believe! So let's take that a step further... If the OP is wrong in his beliefs and the bible is true then they will go to hell if they do not repent and trust in the finished work of Jesus before they die. If we are wrong and the bible is wrong then we have tried to live a life being obedient to a God showing love and caring for others. We die and nothing happens. I think the believer is the safer of the two options if you were going to look at it this way. Now granted, there are people that say they are believers but do not love others, or help them, or even obey what Jesus teaches in the new testament. Those people are not what Jesus calls "his brothers and sisters". They are wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't look at churches or individuals or denominations. Look at what the new testament says about what Jesus did and preached and do that. They you are given the power to be a child of God. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 510347 Canada 11/02/2008 04:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of people intending to commit themselves to an intelligent form of inquiry, instead often end up abusing such terms as 'facts', 'proof', 'evidence', etc. as if they were originally intended to snare an argument in a steel cage like some loose, wild and mad animal that requires domestication for our benefit. Those type of people neither understand nor correctly apply the definitions which each term summons in thinking about them. The Gospels purport to be writings of eyewitness testimony to events. They pass the rules for documentary evidence that are faithfully regarded by all serious critical thinkers as well as the rules for evidence required by law. There are far too many reasons to list here why that is the case. Any debate begins and ends with a mismatch of knowledge, understanding, and brainpower. It is hoped that the opponent will succumb to an overwhelming advantage in those areas, which in the end has more to do with a bully complex than any real search for truth. |
