Christians. Could you be wrong?

If a 'real christian' is one who can perform Jesus' miracles, then there's no such thing.

I bet you think you're one of the elect, though. Every Christian seems to.

RE: Christians. Could you be wrong?
Jesus said he would be right back. He didn't show. For two thousand years every generation has predicted his imminent return; each generation failed in its prognostication.

Christians are those poor bastards that were promised a blind date with Prince Charming, but aren't smart enough to get on after being stood up.

Actually he stated that the end would come when the Gospel is preached to all the world.

You must then also accept that there is a 2000 year old wandering Jew; otherwise, you are dismissing or explaining away what's inconvenient.

You gotta be more sophisticated than the Aztecs and Incas were when the Spanish showed up in their stinky ships.

Circular reasoning isn't evidence.

No other religion makes that claim. Because they simply can't.

Quote: I would argue that you never met a "real christian". The Bible has always stated that the "elect" would be few in number. Only 2 people out of the original 2 million that left Egypt made it into the promised land.

Out of interest, can you perform the miracles that Jesus purportedly could? Thinking

Which world? The small, flat, geocentric world described the bible or the real one?

@professor
-How sure are you that your name is what you and others have been calling yourself since you were born?
Would you be afraid to say you have absolute knowledge of your own name?

I can be maximally certain over my name and not break the laws of logic because the claim that I had the same name since I was born is socially regular. I can show you my record in the registry books as proof that my name was the same as it is today. You see, I follow things that can be demonstrated to be factual, because they lead to rational and reasonable explanations. I will hold to the position that my name was the same since I was born until you can show me evidence that it wasn't.
You, however, have admitted that nothing would ever change your mind. That means, even if I can give you an undeniable piece of evidence that the Bible is false in its entirety, or demonstrate to you that Krishna is the one true god, you will still continue to believe what you believe.

-How about this question: Are there absolutes in the world?
Yes.

Is there anything that could convince you that the God of the Bible may not exist?

How did it miss this thread?

If all you need is evidence, then simply A/S/K (Ask Seek Knock as outlined in Luke 11.) and God will provide it.

What would convince me God does not exist? If He told me He didn't.
