What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

[Brian37]

Just because you're butt hurt over not having any good arguments for your position, don't commit ad homs on the rest of us.

We are rightly sceptical of Jesus claims for the simple fact that there is no evidence at all supporting them. There is the claim, and that's it.

Well, except for the evidence we do have (which I will repeat as often as you make your silly, juvenile claim): The churches spread throughout the empire within 15 years of Jesus' death, the the 27 different authenticated writings discussing Jesus and his teachings, and ancillary works and references throughout the first century.

You may not like the evidence, but there is large amounts of evidence that points to the fact that Jesus not only walked the earth, but people genuinely believed he was the Son of God that came to make possible a relationship with God.

No such thing as a human with magic super powers. Nobody is born with invisible god goo  without a second set of DNA. And nobody survives that act of torture intended to murder someone dead. You do that to a human in reality, they would die AND STAY DEAD.

I rely could give a shit less what you claimed happened. There is no record of his existence outside what the bible claims. All that crap was manufactured and put in the NT AFTER THE FACT. But I really don't give a shit. If you found the body of a man all that would mean is you found a MAN, not a fucking magician.

Nobody was born a virgin. Nobody poofed water into wine. Nobody walked on water. Nobody cured the blind. None of the fantastic claims the bible says he did happened. All mythology, nothing more. Other religions back then and prior also had deities and heros who made claims of performing fantastic feats. 

It is simply another underdog wins the day story. Nothing more. The bible could claim Jesus turned a frog into a prince or claim he farted a Lamborghini out of his ass and it would still be NONSENSE.  None of the fantastic claims happened. Nobody saws the woman in half either.

Christian "Christianity became successful and spread"

Me "So what" 

Jews "We finally became a nation"

Me, "So what".

Muslims, "We have billions of members"

Me, "So what"

Buddhists, "We have billions of members"

Me, "So what"

Hindus, "We have large numbers too".....


Yep and? Still does not mean humans have special powers or talk to a hero from a divine place. 

All religions are successful for one reason only, people buy into them. 

Most humans do have a pet claim, but you do know what claims are like, everyone has one.
