Re: Is Your Child A Goth?

The Bible does not prove Jesus existence it is only escriptial evidence. No other historians' accounts or writings from the time period even mention Jesus, except for a select few. And all the accounts in the Bible are of second and third person. Basically, The Bible = a story book. On a separate note, Ezekiel, I find most of your posts are filled with bigotry (which seems almost common place with everyone on this forum) correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Jesus taught tolerance and to love "thy" neighbor.

Before coming in here making Judgments on us I suggest you read this Thread FIRST.

Re: Is Your Child A Goth?

Actually John the Baptist has absolutely nothing to do with the Baptist Church. John the Baptist comes from John the Baptizer also known as John the Forerunner. The Baptist Church finds its roots in the Anabaptists of the 16th century European movement, making it far younger then Catholicisms. Good try anyways.

Wrong again, God mocker. Take a look at THIS.

John the Baptist was a True Christian(tm) and so are we. That's all you need to know.

No other historians mention Jesus...except for the ones that do? That's your argument? There's no historical evidence, except for the historical evidence?

Re: Is Your Child A Goth?

I'm ignoring most of your rambling because you obviously know nothing of history or the Truth of the Bible. Instead I will focus on this one lie. Baptists were never catolists! We aren't even Protestants or Catholics. We predate them all, going right back to John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

For one thing, its not rambling. Don't crush his opinion about something if you think its stupid. or you simply don't have a second opinion. This man didn't just leave him ran and go on to bigger and better things, he too the time to write all of this just to voice his opinion. Last I checked we had freedom of speech, in which we could voice our opinions and not get killed or criticized for it. So be respectful towards this man, sister. Or don't reply to this post.

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

It's not. The King James Version of the Bible and the Book of Mormon are both extremely true. I have had they holy spirit confirm both of these to me. So I would exhort you to read each of these and pray of their truthfulness. You will find the truth.

Those of you who say Mormonism is false, have no clue. You haven't read the book. You haven't attended our church so who are you to say anything of the sort?

Re: Is Your Child A Goth?

Jesus is a proven fact. Moses going out of egypt is a proven fact. There are, indeed, a lot of proven facts. However, the Bible also contains a lot of metaphors (the creation of earth) or details that where changed for some reason, like the sea splitting and a pilar of fire coming down upon the egyptians to stop them (That one was written by the Jew's high priest because the jews where, yet again, slaves somewhere... Babylon, I believe).

While a lot of the basic stories are hystorically correct,almost everything is writen by humans, and certainly not by some God. The only thing which I can agree on are the ten commandments. But, for example, the first testament. The first gospel was written in abouth the year 60, and the last on in abouth 100... So Jesus would be dead for 27 or 67 years, depending which one you're talking abouth. None of the writers ever met Jesus, and because the average age wasn't to high back then, they probably haven't met many people who actually had met Jesus. Their writtings are based on the few eyewithnesses who were still alive, some mysterious text called the Q-text which we don't know right now and other, loose fragments.

Of course, there where more than four gospels written, the non canonical gospels. The death sea scrolls, for example, or one abouth Jesus years as a child (that one is almost sure to be completely made up). There where more, but I doubt we'll ever find them all. Most are probably destroyed anyway. I hope you guys know that the only reason the ones that are in the Bible right now are in the Bible right now, is because they where chosen, I believe somewhere after the year 300... I somebody gives you a lot of stories abouth the same event, and you have to choose four that are right and others are wrong, I don't think there is a lot you have to base yourself upon.
All of this means that, despite the fact that Jesus lived and that he was an extraordinary man, not his whole story is a fact.

It's also like I'm wrong right now, but I believe that the ressurection is mentioned in the qur'an. After all, Jesus might not be considered to be the son of God in that book, but he supposed to be a pretty important prophet. I'm not sure, though... But of course, for the other 'false' religions, that isn't an important thing, after all, Jesus has nothing to do with them.



For mormonism: You do realise Chrisianity started as what is today known as catholicism, right? You guys split off too... and for the Islam: It's a different religion. Mohamed has taken parts of both Judaism and christianity, but they don't even use the Bible. It's like a Jew saying that Jesus is nog important because he isn't mentioned in the torah (Which I believe is roughly the same as the old testament, right?)

And for the second part, I can again compare it to the Jews: Jesus came there, and basically start telling the word of God. There are still Jews around today, so I guess not everybody believed him... It's about the exact same thing. But for you Jesus is real, but don't forget that he lived quite some time ago.

Perhaps God thinks that his rules shouldn't be always exactly the same. I know that He is supposed to be all knowing, but mankind changes. We learn new things, we stop doing other things. As a lousy example, it would be useless if God let Jesus tell us what to do with video games; I think most people would have declared him insane because those didn't exist.

Another example: If you are the captain of a ship, you can't sail always to the east. For 200 miles that might be great, but then there is a storm, and even if you knew about this storm all along, going east was the best to do, but now it isn't anymore. The orders have to change.

Do you understand what I mean? Mankind changes, we discover new things, and let go of old things. If a God created us, he must have intended it that way, and he must know that after some changes the orders we reciever earlier are no longer correct, and so he sends a new prophet.

I know Jesus wasn't a regular prophet, so perhaps a lot had to change. after all, he did bring a huge change, Christianity is still the biggest religion in the world...

Yeah, sorry to say, but the whole Moses thing was never proven, there is not one shred of evidence proving that Moses led a vast number of jews around a desert for any particular number of years. Also, we only have historical evidence jesus was a prophet, thats it. Most of christianity has egyptian mythology roots, along with many other religions that come before it, making me wonder what makes people believe any of it. Out of the 10000000 religions out there, who knows who is right? I would love to know, but whatever. I will live life my own way, treating people nicely, while looking out for myself, and if that isn't good enough for god, then oh well.
Nice question presented though.

Well I sorta get confused on what church to attend? Is it LDS, RLDS, Community of Christ, just plain Mormon? I live in the land where you think Jesus will land on the building. *hint. *hint.

My freakin High School Graduation took place in that beautiful [sad]building.

Why can't you Just witness in a Jesus shirt that says, "The devil and me our brothers."

Haven't you read the story of Jesus in the New Testament? I highly recommend it.

If you're trying to imply that Christ is a nigra, then move on, pal. It's been tried. Take a look at THIS.

If you predate all other form of Christianity then why the King James Bible ? 1611 is quite some time after John the Baptist.

God gave us the One True Bible in His own way, and in His own time. Instead of grousing about it, you should be on your knees thanking Him.

Take a look at THIS and open your heart to Christ.

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

The great problem is, God knew that by the 1600s the world would be ripe for a proper, definitive exposition of His Book.

The KJV New Testament consists of the 27 books of the True Christian(tm) Gospel and apostolic works. However, there are many other "books" which are considered by various apostates as inspired by God.

For instance, what are Christians to make of "The Protevangelion of James" and "The Gospel of the Birth of Mary"? What about "The Gospel of Nicodemus"?

God, being omniscient, is not confused by forgeries and spurious Gospels. Once the English language and a tradition of historical scholarship were firmly established, He inspired a perfect and complete exposition of His Word. This work has no extraneous books, and none of the inevitable errors which inhere in fallen languages like Greek, Hebrew, and Latin.

That perfect Bible is the KJV.

Without it, True Christians would probably end up with a Mafia-based religion like Catholicism, or a lunatic-based one like the Mormons.

Who is that God you peoples talk about and why is he such an *** going around killing people and telling them what to do in a book written by humans?

Sincerly, this is so ridiculous.
