OK, Christians! I have my KJV!

Whatever.

Every picture tells a story.

Only back when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood were good together!

Sounds like my religious library.......  

Seconded on the book of morons.  That one pretty much loses me right from the start.  I even tried skipping..see if it got better toward the end, right?  Not so much, imo.

If I were to take your bible and show you everything you believe to be true, a lie. you would hate me and or God for destroying how your little world works.  

That said if you have a question or there is something holding you back, now is the time to ask it.

Why do you continue to believe in manifest bullshit?

Do you not understand the word manifest?

Hmmm To believe in what has been manifest is to believe in what is obvious to the eye or mind by definition 1. So to answer your question I believe in what has been made manifest because again it is obvious to my eye and mind to what the truth of God is.

Lets say you were leaning over to definition 2 the one I had in mind when I read your question.

Hmm seems to me to be made manifest is to in this case have God make Himself real before you... 

Well He did. and I continue to believe because I absolutely know that He did and continues to support and care for me. In essence you are asking why do I believe in face of all the evidence God has granted me....

If this is truly your question then know your mind heart have grown so cold to the truth you do not care what truth is you simply want to follow what you think is right.

Obvious bullshit is obvious, lol.

I believe that Jesus was a Jewish apocalyptic prophet who was born and raised in northern Galilee.  As a child, Jesus probably suffered from some sort of neurological disorder, but he became a charismatic preacher who developed a small following with his belief that the "Son of Man" (an angelic being) would come down (Jesus believed in a flat Earth, as did his contemporaries, Paul included) from Heaven to deliver the Jewish people from the Romans.  After a year or two of preaching, some of Jesus' followers convinced him to take his message south to Jerusalem; after arriving, Jesus found his way to the Temple, and there was an altercation between Jesus and the Jewish establishment.  The Romans intervened almost immediately, and Jesus was arrested and taken into Roman custody.  A short time later he was interrogated by a Roman official (he and Pilate probably never even met), and Jesus was found to be eccentric and given to flights of apocalyptic imagination and statements.  The Roman authorities, as they did often, consulted with the local Jewish authorities, and it was soon thereafter determined that Jesus needed to be put down.  Pilate gave the order, and Jesus was publicly executed by crucifixion.  After his death, his body was taken down, tossed into a nearby pit, where it was consumed by ravenous dogs.

Heartbroken, some of Jesus' followers began to have visions of the "risen" Christ, and stories began to be circulated about his teachings and life, which were retold, redacted, and eventually, began to be written down in some 40 different "gospels" a generation to two after Jesus' death.  Paul, an epileptic, also began to have visions of Jesus, and he, as with Jesus, had some neurological issues, which led him to go off the religious deep-end.  Eventually, the new religion began to form itself, from the bottom-up, and with embellishment after embellishment, the new religion began to remake Jesus and his teachings in its own image.

Well sure, when it's Hindu stuff, or Muslim stuff, or Scientology stuff. But Christian stuff comes with it's own guaranty of unbullshittery !!!

No sorry. It doesn't work like that.

All you are doing with your word salad is the same thing people of other religions do.

"Manifest" in the way you treat it all your are arguing is "It is obvious to me."

THAT is not an argument.

It is "manifest" to Muslims and "obvious" to them Allah is correct.

It is "Manifest"" to Jews and "Obvious" to them Yahweh is correct.

It is "Manifest" to Buddhist and "Obvious" to them Buddha is correct.

It is"manifest" to Hindus and "Obvious" to them Brahma is correct.

GET IN LINE, take a number.

I once dropped a hammer on my foot.  That was when I learned about 'manifest density'.
