That fact of the matter is that the bible is the only place where this is written.
Outside of that there is precisely fuck all.
When you have something that backs up the bible come and see us.

I love Christian "witnessing" like this. They don't present any arguments or evidence. They just repeat the dogma over and over in the hopes that eventually someone gullible enough will come along.
It's really less about trying to convert people than it is about trying to look like a good little servant in the eyes of Jesus.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I think we should elevate this post to wider audience. The headlines will read "Man believes what he believes which is pretty much what he hears repeated everyday all around him, namely that Christ is lord!" So news worthy! [/sarcasm]

You mean Snowtracks?
I have no idea. It usually takes a man to be so pushy about something so stupid.

I'm sure our resident Egyptian would say something similar about the god of the Qur'an...and be unable to identify with the god of the bible...
So... which is it? Either is ok? Both is better?
Quote:Jesus predicted His death and resurrection while He was alive. He tomb was empty on three days after His death. He appeared to His disciples. These men's lives were changed and God used them to change the world. Paul and 500 others have seen the risen Christ. The early church grew greatly even with terrible persecution speaks of the power of this Truth. Greatest evidence is the transformation of millions of lives of born again believers.
Praise Allah!
Praise Shiva!
Praise FSM!
All changed men's lives, all of them exist, so we must submit to them all.
Oh crap...aren't some of those mutually exclusive?

Woman?
No, if a good christian like that was a woman, she'd know she was forbidden to preach, right?

I choose to believe that your post is a metaphor too.
