On Hell and Forgiveness

[Amarok]

1. Why do you think the authorship was uncertain?

Why shouldn't we ?

 Certainly the people at the time knew who wrote the gospels.

Why we assume that?

Do you think they were left on a doorstep? 

They would not need to be to be suspect 

Was Paul (a well established author) certain that Jesus rose from the dead? 

It does not matter if he was 

2. Superstitious society?

It was 

 Isn't that question begging?

Nope

 Do you imagine that the people of the NT didn't know the difference between people who survived crucifixion and those that did not? 

Yes 

3. Political benefit? 100% the opposite. Most early church leaders had hard lives with bad endings. 

Pure mythology 

4. Different accounts by different authors is EXACTLY what you want. No evidence of growing over time.

No you don't and yes there is 

We can skip to the end--you can't win this argument. The most you can say is that there is not enough evidence for YOU to believe. ]

There isn't evidence period it has nothing to do with me 

Fine. I don't doubt that--however I do doubt you are even familiar with the contents. What you cannot say is that it is not evidence for other's belief in God. 

There is not any evidence 

Because in order to do so, you would have to prove it wrong--but that is simply not possible. 

No i would not one can say their isn't evidence for others to believe and remain suspension of belief 

Your second paragraph just proves your question begging reasoning you employed from the beginning: miracles don't happen, the NT does not contain miracles so there is no evidence of miracles.

Nope no question begging simply your religions failure

 would characterize God as having the essential property of perfect love. It is 100% informed, 100% dependable, 100% sufficient (perhaps a couple of more adjectives preceded by 100%). "God is Love" is christian shorthand for saying this.

Yup and it's hyperbolic nonsense as Khem pointed out earlier simply putting adjectives on it changes nothing .
