Christianity and the 10 Commandments

[chi pan]

Yes it is based on faith just like its based on faith to believe there is no god

Indeed it is,such a claim also attracts the burden of proof .However, I have made no claims. I assert only"I do not believe due to lack of credible evidence,".That is not a faith based position.

You cannot prove a negative and I'm not going to be suckered into doing so. I'm not trying to prove his sinless nature

The burden of proof means that the person who makes a claim has the obligation to provide credible evidence in support of that claim.It's basic to the scientific method.

You are not being suckered into anything.You put yourself in that position by making an unprovable claim.

It is you who made the positive claim that Jesus was perfect (without sin) in all his actions. If a claim cannot proved,it may be dismissed.


I really don't care about your personal superstitions. If you come to a forum full of atheists and skeptics and make truth claims of any kind,be prepared have proof demanded. If you are unable to provide proof,be prepared to dismissed as just another apologist with nothing of interest to say

Bored now.

The entire article is worth reading.

Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary says that scientific method is: "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses."[3]

The chief thing which separates a scientific method of inquiry from other methods of acquiring knowledge is that scientists seek to let reality speak for itself, and contradict their theories about it when those theories are incorrect[4] (see Falsifiability. Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methods of obtaining knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses via predictions which can be derived from them. These steps must be repeatable, to guard against mistake or confusion in any particular experimenter. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. Theories, in turn, may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.

Scientific inquiry is generally intended to be as objective as possible, to reduce biased interpretations of results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, giving them the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established.

The question I answered was not scientific it was philosophical. You said him being perfect was a contradiction and I proved this wrong. The conversation did not start with the burden of proof that he was perfect it started YOU saying its not possible because it contradicts the very definition. That's it. I answered the question and that's all I'm obligated to do.
