I don't understand Christianity

@Spunkylama [quote]There is nothing to understand. Made up stories to control the masses.[/quote]

No made up stories. When the Jews re-settled back in Israel in 1948, their original dispersal in AD70, and eventual return was accurately prophesied, and they used the Old Testament of the bible to find natural water sources in arid desert & built communities around them.

If the Bible was made up, how does one explain water sources in arid desert exactly where the Scriptures said they were?

Further, geologists & archaeologists have found the ashen remains of what was Sodom & Gomorrah. Geologists also found sedimentary evidence of the earthquake that occured at the moment of Christ's death. It is recorded in the New Testament, but geologists discovered the extent of the earthquake. The fault line is now known to have vastly exceeded the epicentre of Jerusalem & indeed went well beyond Israel to the southern tip of Italy. So how was this made up when geology have only discovered the evidence in the last 50 years?

Palenteologists have found fossil remains that could only have been caused by a catastrophic flood. As these remains occur in so many places thousands of miles apart, they say (carefully avoiding any reference to Noah), the flood must have been global. They have dated it to approximately 5000 years ago.

Anthropologists report that most ancient cultures (Native Americans, Chinese, Polynesians (aborigines & etc ) all have ancient stories passed down through the generations of a catastrophic flood. The list goes on and on.

@LadyGrace Thank for the reply but you aren't going to convince me otherwise. Have a nice day.

@Spunkylama It wasn't about you. It was about your lack of knowledge of the bible and false remarks, trying to discourage this lady.

@LadyGrace I'm an ex Christian so I know plenty about the beliefs and the bible. They aren't false but rather another way of viewing religion. I encourage her to really do her homework if she really wants the truth.

@Spunkylama Well you sure had your information wrong about the Bible. Encouraging her? Telling her its all made up stories is encouraging her?

@LadyGrace She asked a question and I answered. You didn't like my reply and thus is why you are pitching a fit. Guess you could pray for me to stop responding...

@Spunkylama Get your facts straight. She asked a question and all you could do is dis the Bible. And when I pointed out you had your facts wrong about the Bible, you had no answer, so you pulled the typical, switch the subject to you were "trying to help."

@LadyGrace Stay mad, no skin off my back

@Spunkylama You have mention that you are an ex-Christian. Would it be possible for you to share your reasons of moving away from Christianity please (preferably DM).
