How is the Church doing?

[Acriku]

Edric, you can think whatever you want, but it is the truth. You can ask scholars at your disposal, ask them did Jesus teach Pharisaic Judaism. Of course every scholar has his/her own opinion, and history is hard to prove beyond that of even a couple years with insufficient evidence, but believe what you want. If you want to believe that Jesus taught his own teachings, different than any Judaism teachings, that he really did perform supernatural miracles, that he really died and was resurrected, that he is The Son of God, that he Is God, I won't stop you. And the beat goes on...

[Edric O]

There is just as much evidence for what I believe about Jesus as there is evidence for what you believe about Jesus: None.

But at least I admit it's all a matter of faith, while you don't.

[Acriku]

Heh, because you admit it is all a matter of faith you are such a big guy now? Is that what you needed in your life? To have someone you are superior to?

How could I not be putting faith into my beliefs? The thing is edric, I don't have to admit it. It's already implied. I "believe" it to be the truth. I have "faith" that it is correct. Was that so hard?

[Edric O]

I have no idea what you're trying to say... superior to who?

[Acriku]

To me, the inferior, I didn't admit I had faith in it before, so you must feel superior to me, no?

[Edric O]

Huh? Where did you get that idea from? I only pointed out that you don't have any more proof than I do, so from a logical standpoint, both our beliefs are on equal footing.

[Acriku]

But at least I admit it's all a matter of faith, while you don't.

You said this in the manner that you were "better" for admitting your faith.

Excuse me, about the Jesus proof thing. They did find proof he existed (they think), in the form of a bone box of his brother James. Its been all over the news in the past few weeks.

[Acriku]

Ordos we discussed that before, in some other thread. Check up on it in a search, search for something like "proof of jesus" and put forum to general.
