Quote:glob.. You are seriouly just going to drop a personal insult to wipe away a proclaimed historical fact? Do you reall think your 'nut-huh' carries that much weight? maybe to your light minded members but serious thinker do you think attacking me changes what I said?Keep smoking the apologist crack
that (meaning the converted) my short sighted/unfamiliar with logistics friend is called a base or often referred to as a foundation. Without a deep strong foundation or base Christianity AND Judaism would have failed long before now.
So despite what your little mind likes to hear, and despite what minnie says to himself. Christianity had to start out like gang busters/a wild fire in order to sustain the numbers during the persecution of the church and the destruction of the temple in 70AD by Rome.. without Christianity's strong base and ties to judaism the jews would have been lost to time as well, (Ever hear of the septuagint? ever wonder why it is in Greek and not Hebrew) Because as all their texts books of law genealogies ritual items were lost to rome and fire in 70AD. (ALL the sadducees died which where the majority ruling class) It was Christianity who reset the jews even during their own persecution, which means members floated or went both ways for a while. which also points to a very large and strong religious foundation, which again points back to massive member base... Which also explains why Jews today believe in an after life as the were reset pharicacial jews and not a sadducee. (because Christians believe in an after life.)
So then if members were not being won over in the early days when in your little mind did Christianity begin to take off? after the Christians were labeled enemies of the states and were hunted down not only by the jews but by rome as well? No. you have to go back before when so many saw Christ and so many were healed by him and first hand accounts were all over the place and strong, not to mention having 11 eye witnesses claiming the same thing who were again focused on jewish conversion.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
