Re: Is Your Child A Goth?

Would you care to cite them? just saying they exist does not carry any weight.

I always based my belief on the existance of a Christus, the son of God on this:
Suetonius (written AD 120) - "Since the [Christian] Jews were continually making disturbances at the instigation of Christus, he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome."

Because the bible says so

&

Because there are there is a gnostic church with books said to contain the description of Jesus' entire life.

That's it really, prove to me that any of those is wrong, not by interpretation but by facts, and that will convince me that there was no Christ.

Josephus was not there at the time (born 37 AD) so how could he have given a first person account? he just wrote up nothing the made up stories people told him. No one at the time Jesus was meant to do his stuff wrote anything about it so can't have been that great. You would think if someone was raising the dead and turning water into wine someone would have mentioned it at the time.

How about all written first person accounts on what the apostles told.
They are indirect first person accounts of Jesus' existence.

Tacitus was a Roman historian writing early in the 2nd century A.D.

Not written at the time

Still hearsay, not accounts written at the time.

Raise the dead, walk on water, feed 5000 with one fish supper, these are things that if they happened someone would have noticed and made a note of at the time.

It doesn't matter that the accounts of jesus's life aren't firsthand accounts. All that matters is that they were selected and compiled in the 17th century by some guy who claimed that god chose him to rule England and who also apparently wasn't chosen by god to have any sons to continue ruling England. Right?

You can read about how God caused the KJV Bible to be written HERE.

And you will kindly show respect for our Savior while posting on His favorite forum. That includes capitalizing His name.

I can understand your skepticism, but if you look closely at your argument, it's ultimately meaningless. Several extraordinary things happened to me and I've done: Astronaut Jesus appeared to me in a motel room in 1974 and healed me from my veneral diseases, I've had KGB spies dress up as grocery store workers and try to kill me while I shopped for my groceries, Elton John and the Eagles have written prophecies in songs about me that have come true, etc. etc.

Yet, 99.999% of the world doesn't believe me. So just because something extraordinary happens, doesn't mean the rest of the world will pay attention and believe it.

Have the other 0.001% been given the same medication as yourself in the past?

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

I'm still trying to understand how one can prove the truth of anything with the evidence coming from the article in question. Not saying I don't believe, but wouldn't it be more helpful to LBC if some effort were made to actually help people learn, as opposed to mocking them and calling them silly names? And from way back in the beginning of this post arguments were made about rules changing, etc...didn't the whole sacrifice thing change after Jesus was killed? In the Old Testament people would offer up sacrifices, and Jesus was the last one, after that you don't read about any more sacrifices, so is that not a change? Also, the other book thing, from what I understand where it says that in the Bible, historical proven fact tells us that that book was written before some of the other gospels, so should we disregard them?

You don't understand because you lack discernment. Unless and until you are Saved(c), you have no real way of comprehending God's Word.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Please take a look at our Church Doctrines, that you might gain an insight into Landover Baptist's teachings.

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

if the bible is the "only true word of god" why are there contradictions? if god inspired the bible it would be constant.

Kindly post these supposed contradictions that you have uncovered, miss Bible scholar.

And start capitalizing words like "God" or you will be asked to leave.
