MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[The Valkyrie]

So, has Jebus resurrected yet?

The Trinity is the doctrine that the Father, Son, and Holy spirit are three separate beings/persons, that share the same Deity of God....kinda like how you, jenny, and parkers are three separate persons, yet you all share the same nature..human nature.

Sweet Reason, not only do you provide no evidence, you don't even know what you're claiming.

The Trinity is more than just Jesus and Yahweh are both similar gods. The Trinity is the assertion that there is only ONE god. The reason Jesus can forgive sins and be the divine intercessor ("no one comes to the Father but by me") is because Jesus is God. And the reason Jesus prays "not my will but thy will be done" and "no one knows the day, not even the Son but the father only" is because Jesus is not God. Jesus is fully divine and fully human, fully part of God and yet fully independent from God, depending on the needs of the story at the time.

That you don't even know the theology you're defending, that I as a non-believer must explain Christianity to you, is probably the most pathetic part of this entire thread of yours.

And that's saying a lot.

I'd like to debate the Resurrection as a whole...the Gospels are just one part within the subject...which is why I tried to build a cumulative case for the Resurrection starting with Part 1, and then just build from there...but Fidel wanted to pull his God card and he kinda messed up that for me...and now you know how my case is build so the element of surprise won't be there, at least, for how I'd like it to be.

Tell you what, I'll be generous.

Just tell me the story of the resurrection. You don't need to provide any proof that it happened. All you have to do is reconcile ALL FOUR GOSPEL ACCOUNTS with one another. You are not allowed to cherry pick. You are not allowed to omit anything. You are not allowed to contradict any part of the Gospels.

Tie it all together in one coherent, non-self-contradicting story and I'll be impressed.

I'll bet you would. But you know your doctor doesn't think your lobes are ready for any heavy lifting yet. You should content yourself with stray ideas .. if you get any.

That's why I invited him to take some baby steps.

So basically, the Staff has the right to play God...got it.

Admin hat on.

Tiberius owns the site. He has empowered the rest of the staff to run the site according to a set of rules and principles that developed over the last six years.

If you have some constructive criticism for how the site is run, we have a forum for that here, and you're welcomed and encouraged to use it. Alternatively, you know the way out, I trust.

If you're just going to be a bomb-throwing antagonizer in discussion threads, stow it. It's disruptive, the staff won't stand for it, and it will not end well for you.

Huh... turns out that some gods really do exist.

Hopefully Majestic_Folly will suck it up and soldier on. Our souls aren't going to save themselves you know.

After rereading post #1, I have to agree. I remain unconvinced.

On which page did you choose to reread post #1? You have many from which to choose.

After humiliating himself on this thread and failing to prove any of his claims, all he has left is to provoke a banning so he can claim persecution.

This.

This is exactly what he will do.

He'll then run to various Christian sites and claim he was banned when the atheists couldn't answer his questions or dispute his "facts".

He's displayed dishonesty here, why would he do anything different on other sites?
