Jesus must have at least written in the snow.

Why Didn't Jesus Write?

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It offers no timetable other than that, so why would we assume that they waited long? And why would that be the criteria by which we interpret the story? They heard what Jesus said. The story gives no indication as to what he was writing, but it tells us what he said. There is no good reason to interpret it any other way. So, again-- why would you choose the least likely explanation when the more likely one is also the more sensible one? Quote:I floated that idea out there so you would acknowledge God being a viable reason or support structure for him to write or not write.That doesn't make sense. YOU acknowledge God as being a viable reason for anything, so your claims would presumably take that into account. I am pointing out that your excuses give us a scenario that works just fine without God. Quote:And I'm pointing out that he has already done what you are suggesting he do with the OT, and it did not work out so well. Do try and keep up old sport.And I pointed out that this doesn't look good on his resume. Quote:Actually you are right, that was not the question. the original question I was answering was could Jesus READ And Write. I answered it with John 8 where it is recorded Jesus was writing.I wasn't referring to the original question. Quote:I'm now asking why wouldn't Jesus want to write down what he wanted... Hmmm Let's look at what happened when God took his finger and spelled out what he wanted. for over 1000 years the jews worship those writings as if they were God Himself. then after God stripped those stone fragments away they took the law and added to it perverting it till it became a burden not reflecting anything resembling what He wanted. Till Jesus walks in and points all of that out.So Jesus failed and wanted to avoid another failure. I already pointed that out. Quote:Or one smart enough to know that stupid 1/2 breed monkey decedents tend to make idols out of the scraps God uses to simply communicate, So he clears the planet of them.He tends to have clumsy solutions to problems of his own making, I have noticed. Quote:God did not fail 'smart guy.' We did.That doesn't make sense. God is unable to create plans that will account for a condition that he bestowed upon humanity. He is forced to deal with a situation of his own making and can't figure out a way around it that would convince everyone that he exists and how to get to know him. It's a situation that suspiciously resembles a world where he doesn't exist. Quote:Or if you weren't scared to work that little mind of your just a little harder, just a little past your typical shut down/close down point you'd see, that "He's not God, would have been the CORRECT answer if He allowed 2000 years of a Christ written gospel to corrupt the new covenant as the last handwritten document from God did with Judaism.God needs to hire a better writer. Quote:No If Christianity were a man inspired/fueled religion you would see the same failures the Jews made with God over and over again. starting with how God's word was issued.*facepalm* Quote:Let say for a moment God decided to simply create an account on AF.org and directly answer a few of your posts... how in the ff's would you know you were talking to God if you idea of Him was all screwed up in your little head, that says God can only be ABC?Why is this question always asked in the context of God giving us one piece of evidence for his existence? "If god showed up and performed a parlor trick..." Maybe you expect too little from God. You make him sound weak and incompetent.

I expect nothing from any fucking god and even less from dripshit.

In fact, Pilate's reaction seems best described by the phrase "who is this fucking guy?" I wouldn't be surprised that all the stuff about Romans accepting Yeshua as son of yhwh comes from the period when jesusim was made the state religion of the Empire, some time in the 4th century. At the time the bibles were first written the imperial cult was riding high, so positing a being higher than even the imperator divi and hoping he'd be acceptable to Rome would be a foolish idea.

Maybe he did write things, but it was rubbish so they had to make up other stuff.

Jesus said it. Matthew recorded it inerrantly in Holy Scripture and fucking Paul changed it . . . . Way to go Paul, invalidate the goddamn faith, Jesus fucking Christ, what kinda bullshit fake reward did Satan promise, you get to fuck Judas in the ass or something ? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
