What makes your faith true?

[Harry Nevis]

I certainly did more than see it. She still writes to me.

 My faith in this is different.

She went away from her people; I don't know why. Then an angel was sent to her; he manifested as a man. She told him to leave her alone if was good enough; but he told her that God sent him to give her a son. Then we don't know what happened, then she delievered the baby; her community questioned her about the infant, so she pointed at him; the infant spoke. That's Jesus.

Our faiths differ a lot! You seem to believe in the theory of invisibility.

You should focus more on the bolded part.

Then you must be really lonely person


I mean really what ideals? The guy was a liar, thief, hypocrite, coward and so on. Like when in Luke 6: 1-4 says, "It came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he [Jesus] went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days ... ?"
Here Jesus and his disciples not only violated the sabbath by picking ears of corn thereon, but stole property as well. The ears of corn were not theirs to pluck, any more than the Gadarene swine of Luke 8:33 were theirs to destroy.

Or his cowardice like in Matthew 12:14-16 says, "Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him .... And he charged them that they should not make him known." In other words, Jesus wanted his whereabouts kept secret. John 7:1 says, "After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him." John 11:53-54 says, "Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death, Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness."
In other words Jesus was a coward who could not keep himself safe and yet people expect for some reason that he will help them?! How?

In Matthew 5:44 Jesus said, "Love your enemies; bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you." But in Matthew 12:34, 23:15, 17, 19, 27, 33, Luke 11:40, and John 10:8 Jesus called people "fools," "vipers," "serpents," "hypocrites," "whited sepulchres," "thieves," and "blind." Who would equate adjectives of this kind with loving your enemies and doing good to those who hate you? What a hypocrite! How can you honestly say you admire his ideals? Or are you maybe writing from a prison?

I don't agree with anything you wrote. Your whole method is wrong because what you're doing is cherry picking from here and there, it's possible to disagree with anything if all you do is cherry pick. Look at what the meaning or message of the whole of the Bible is. The message is to love yourself, love your neighbors, love your relatives, encourage goodness in people, the only thing Bible teaches us to not love is either hate or evil.

Guess we get different messages from the bible. Or reading different books. Or, of course, I'm reading it wrong.
