Has anyone met a Christian?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I think it's funny that some atheists here think they know what the bible says, argue with some theist who doesn't know what the bible says, then the atheist gets to argue from both ends such as erroneous paradox's

Aren't you supposed to be under Hawaii right now? But seriously, how is it you think that atheists can't know what's in the Bible? Is it like that on you home planet?

I don't mean someone who claims to be a Christian and can't tell you what that means. I mean someone who lives exactly like the NT says they should live.

"Christian" transliterated from christianos. First we have the Greek adjective christos, which means: anointed, with the Latin adjectival ending meaning: belonging to, usually in the sense of a slave. It was a name given us by outsiders.

Apostle Paul: "To live is christos"--anointed with a purpose and a destiny.

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the zOE-Life". He is the Good Shepherd that I follow that I might have zOE-life in His fame. It ain't about what I do! It's about what He did and is doing! I'm a stupid sheep.

And by the way, I am the ram nuzzled up to Jesus with the really, really big'uns horns if you want to butt heads!

Well, you didn't say "take me to your leader".

An atheist can know what's in the bible erroneously translated and misrepresented for 2,000yrs by a hand me down seminary instructed clergy taught the same tools of, "How To Translate and Make the Bible Say Any Damned Thing You Want!" With their magic bag of grammatical tricks with complete disregard for legitimate Greek grammatical inflection rules to support their erroneous theologies.

If the clergy don't know, NONE of them, then the average theists don't know! How then do the atheists know?

You simply can't produce an authentic 2,000 year old Greek language Bible.  All Greek language Bibles are translations.

You know that's not really a problem for the atheists, in that comparison, right?

The NT was written in Greek. Therefore, Greek NT are copies, not translations. Some copies are more faithful then others. We do not have any originals but we do have several copies spanning centuries from which to apply the science of Textual Criticism.

Question: "Textual criticism - what is it?"

Answer: Simply stated, textual criticism is a method used to determine what the original manuscripts of the Bible said. The original manuscripts of the Bible are either lost, hidden, or no longer in existence. What we do have is tens of thousands of copies of the original manuscripts dating from the 1st to the 15th centuries A.D. (for the New Testament) and dating from the 4th century B.C. to the 15th century A.D. (for the Old Testament). In these manuscripts, there are many minor and a few significant differences. Textual criticism is the study of these manuscripts in an attempt to determine what the original reading actually was.

I know this is way off topic but, just what is a beer/barrel-aged Gin snob? I for one, am a big time Tanqueray fan and love it on small ice as it should have no mixers in my opinion. That is, unless someone enjoys headaches and hangovers. Yet, it's not a hangover if you hang on! Yes, I love being "filled with the spirit" of Gin!

Yet, I realize it's a manly pursuit and NOT FOR GIRLS! Like whiskey and cigars!
