Object: Are fundamentalists really that ignorant?
When I was a fundamentalist Christian, I remember hearing many
preachers say that one of the reasons that Christianity is true is
because it is the only religion to claim that its saviour died and
rose again. Now that I am an educated person, I know that practically
every doctrine in the new testament (atonement, eucharist,
resurrection of saviour after 3 days of burial, 12 disciples,
resurrection of dead, final battle of good vs. evil then eternal
bliss, etc.)was stolen from preexisting religions like Mithra and
Zorostariansm. My question is do preachers really not know about these
religions or do they know and just keep quiet? How can anybody still
believe in Christianity when faced with the overwhelming evidence that
it came from pagan sources (even the fall of man comes from sumerian
mythology; for that matter, all of Genesis 1-6 comes from sumerian and
babyloniam mythology)? I would like Christians and atheists to
respond.

Even a casual reading of the Sumerian text compared th the Hebrew scriptures
is like comparing first grade fantasys to high school composition. Did you
even read through some
of those stories. The difference is even if some of the texts are older it
matters little. God gave to Moses the truth concerning and conveyed it like
history What the Sumerian and others is handed down by word of mouth and
finally turns to myth. Read the flood story as an example and tell me which
is more credible.

Dude, everything in the bible is word of mouth. Nothing was written down,
apparently, at the time it was supposed to have happened, but more like 50
to 100 years later. Did you really not know that?

Waht all this really comes down to is does the Christian theistic God exist.
If he does and their is good evidence then miracles are possibler. If he
conveyed thru men his truth then it is not second hand.
Jesus offered 4 lines of evidence as to his deity.
1. Fulfilled prophecy that even to the skeptical reader is beyond natural
since all the old testament was completed before he was born. Where he was
to be born, when, how, and dozens of other very clear prophecies. Not like
Notradamas, laugh, laugh.
2. Supernatural miracles unlike any before and witnessed by thousands.
3. A sinless life , he even ask his accusers if any convicted him of sin.
4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he freely
layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up again.\
As such Jesus is God in the flesh. God can not be wrong about what he
knows. Therefore what is written in the scriptures is true. He claimed the
old testament was truth and he promised to bring to remembrance for
posterity to the apostles what they had witnesses and heard.

OK. Since you've used the bible as your evidence that this Jesus was
really god, all you have to do now is prove that the bible is a true and
accurate account of things that really happened.

Even if he was the nicest magician ever, that says absolutely nothing

Actually, you're right! It does! Got any hard evidence to that effect?

If he does and their is good evidence then miracles are possibler. If he

But how do you know which men are lying and which, if any, aren't?

Jesus offered 4 lines of evidence as to his deity.

No. The guys who wrote what they wanted the Jesus character to do offered 4
lines of "evidence" as to its deity.

1. Fulfilled prophecy that even to the skeptical reader is beyond natural
since all the old testament was completed before he was born. Where he was
to be born, when, how, and dozens of other very clear prophecies. Not like
Notradamas, laugh, laugh.
2. Supernatural miracles unlike any before and witnessed by thousands.
3. A sinless life , he even ask his accusers if any convicted him of sin.
4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he freely
layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up again.\

Since we can't be sure the Jesus character did any of this, it's worthless.
All you have is some unnamed author's insistence that this is what Jesus
did. Boy, your standards of evidence are low.

As such Jesus is God in the flesh. God can not be wrong about what he
knows. Therefore what is written in the scriptures is true. He claimed the

None of the flood stories are credable and there are two of them in the
christian bible.
Which is more crediable two different stories in the same book, both claimed
to be true by current readers or one older version without nearly the scope.

This skeptical reader who reads these so called prophecy wonders how long it
took to make up the links. They can't even get the name right and the Jews
point out that Christ, if he existed, did not fill many of the things they
were expecting.

2. Supernatural miracles unlike any before and witnessed by thousands.

And with no mention anyplace except in one part of the NT, the gospels. You
would think that they would have been mentioned in at least the rest of the
book.

3. A sinless life , he even ask his accusers if any convicted him of sin.

My life has been sinless also.

4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he freely
layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up again.\

I can produce proof that they *didn't*. For example, the book of Matthew
says that Jesus was born of a virgin, and that this fulfills the OT
prophecy. But it doesn't. The OT, in the original Hebrew, says that the
Messiah will be born of a "young woman". Whoever wrote Matthew relied on
a faulty Greek translation that rendered "young woman" as "virgin".
Apparently the Hebrew words are similar. Oops.

4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he freely
layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up again.\



"Resurrections" were a dime a dozen at a time when medical science did
not exist.

In fact, medical science has documented instances of people who seemed
to be "dead" reviving. It doesn't happen as much today, but it still
happens. Apparently severe trauma can make the body go into shock and
stop breathing-a shock that goes away and causes the sufferer to
"resurrect". This is probably the origin of the myth of the resurrected
god.

When I was a fundamentalist Christian, I remember hearing many
preachers say that one of the reasons that Christianity is true is
because it is the only religion to claim that its saviour died and
rose again. Now that I am an educated person, I know that practically
every doctrine in the new testament (atonement, eucharist,
resurrection of saviour after 3 days of burial, 12 disciples,
resurrection of dead, final battle of good vs. evil then eternal
bliss, etc.)was stolen from preexisting religions like Mithra and
Zorostariansm. My question is do preachers really not know about these
religions or do they know and just keep quiet? How can anybody still
believe in Christianity when faced with the overwhelming evidence that
it came from pagan sources (even the fall of man comes from sumerian
mythology; for that matter, all of Genesis 1-6 comes from sumerian and
babyloniam mythology)? I would like Christians and atheists to
respond.





Even a casual reading of the Sumerian text compared th the Hebrew

scriptures

is like comparing first grade fantasys to high school composition. Did

you

even read through some
of those stories. The difference is even if some of the texts are older

it

matters little. God gave to Moses the truth concerning and conveyed it

like

history What the Sumerian and others is handed down by word of mouth and
finally turns to myth. Read the flood story as an example and tell me

which

is more credible.


There goes another Irony-O-Meter.

Dude, everything in the bible is word of mouth. Nothing was written down,
apparently, at the time it was supposed to have happened, but more like 50
to 100 years later. Did you really not know that?

Waht all this really comes down to is does the Christian theistic God exist.
If he does and their is good evidence then miracles are possibler. If he
conveyed thru men his truth then it is not second hand.

Jesus offered 4 lines of evidence as to his deity.
1. Fulfilled prophecy that even to the skeptical reader is beyond natural
since all the old testament was completed before he was born. Where he was
to be born, when, how, and dozens of other very clear prophecies. Not like
Notradamas, laugh, laugh.

And of course, there's no evidence any of the above really is true.

2. Supernatural miracles unlike any before and witnessed by thousands.

So the writers claimed a long time later.

3. A sinless life , he even ask his accusers if any convicted him of sin.

So the writers claim. Kind of like the kooks who claim George Washington
was 6'4" tall. Ever seen his clothes?? I have. Not even close.

4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he freely
layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up again.\

So the WRITERS CLAIM. Doesn't make it true. No proof.

It is simple to fulfill a biblical prophesy. Just write another chapter in
which a previous prophesy gets fulfilled. It doesn't even have to be true.
Just lay claim to thousands of witnesses, and you'll satisfy the
multitudes.
Case in point... the Book of Mormon.

2. Supernatural miracles unlike any before and witnessed by thousands.

See what I mean? I prophesied that.

3. A sinless life , he even ask his accusers if any convicted him of
sin.

If he even existed, it could be reasoned that he committed suicide. So
much for sinless. He also called people fools, which according to Matthew
5:22 registers him for a vacation in Hell.
4. His claimed and accomplished his own ressurection. He siad he

freely layed his life down and that he had the power to raise it up
again.\

Just another claim, backed by claimed witnesses, and unverifyable by any
other means than those of a south-sayer.

As such Jesus is God in the flesh.
God can not be wrong about what
he knows. Therefore what is written in the scriptures is true. He claimed
the old testament was truth and he promised to bring to remembrance for

As such is Harry Potter in the flesh. J.K. Rowling can not be wrong about

true.
