Is God dead? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Texasgurl [quote]Never was, as in never existed. As long as man is alive, there will be a god.[/quote]

That's out in left field. Where's your evidence that Yahweh doesn't live?

You have the burden of proof that a god exists.

The fact that there are so many churches and people who say they know the way....prove that there is collective psychosis.

@Texasgurl [quote]You have the burden of proof that a god exists.[/quote]

In other words, you have none. It figures.

Wait, that’s my line..🤣🤣🤣🤣
“In other words” etc
Jack ass..

There you go believing again..

You act like you have something and you don’t...

You believe...that’s it...it goes as far as your nose.

I believe in the jolly green giant,
I see him in freezer cases..
🙄


Tell Yahweh to text me@GodSpeed63

@GodSpeed63 Stop acting as if you have no burden of proof.

There’s [i]no compelling necessity[/i] to even postulate the existence of gods, and therefore no reason to do so.

We can simply drop that postulation into the rubbish bin.

If you nevertheless wish to postulate that gods do exist, then you automatically incur a burden of proof.

Do you wish to make such a postulation, and can you carry it?

At the very least you’ll need to demonstrate a compelling necessity for your postulation, otherwise the [i]status quo[/i] stands.

@newjaninev2 [quote]Stop acting as if you have no burden of proof.[/quote]

The burden of proof is not on me being that God, Himself already provided evidence and proof that He alone is God and that he lives forever.

Your burden of proof, which you brought on yourself, is to prove that Yahweh, the one true God, doesn't live.

@Texasgurl [quote]“In other words” etc Jack ass..[/quote]

This is the kind of reaction I expect from skeptics who can't provide any evidence that support their claims testifying that Yahweh doesn't live.

I work with evidence....
Not belief.

You have no proof, only faith.

What did I tell you before about your posts...
They should open with “ I believe “.

Open your eyes, we as a species are destroying the only place we can exist.
If there was any real design, we wouldn’t be allowed to do the things we do..

You believe whatever you want, if you keep flying at me with how right you are, I will continue to check you...

You have religious freedom, that doesn’t mean you can start shit with me.
I have freedom from religion.

Keep talking.

@Texasgurl [quote]I work with evidence....Not belief.[/quote]

I work with evidence also.

John 1:1-5 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Romans 1:20 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.

The evidence for Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection is clearly recognizable.

Despite the naturalistic and materialistic worldview that rejects the resurrection of Jesus, the evidence for it is verifiable. Jesus’ death by crucifixion is one of the best-established facts of ancient history, something even atheist scholars admit.13 We know Jesus was alive after his death because his many post-resurrection appearances proved he had risen from the dead. It did not happen in secret. There were numerous eyewitnesses to it and trustworthy pieces of evidence to support it, such as the conversion of skeptical witnesses, the empty tomb, etc.14 In 1 Corinthians 15:3–7, Paul even makes use of an early credal statement from the eyewitnesses of the risen Jesus that predates the writing of the letter (AD 55) by a number of years, with some scholars placing it’s formulation to within almost months (some scholars say 2–3 years) of the actual event of the crucifixion.15 What is more, even atheist scholars recognize that Jesus’ disciples were convinced that they had seen Jesus alive after his death.16 Given the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, it would seem the reasons to reject it would either be a prior commitment to naturalism (an incoherent worldview: see below) or the implication that we need to listen to what he says when it comes to sin, judgement, and salvation.

the “gospels were written 30 to 70 years after the fact.

if people saw him after death...
it’s not in any other record. You can’t validate something with itself

the sources regarding the gospels are questionable...
they can’t be attributed to the disciples.

jesus was dirt common name at the time.

Again, you can’t prove the source with itself.

@Texasgurl [quote]the “gospels were written 30 to 70 years after the fact.[/quote]

According to whom?

@GodSpeed63 According to biblical scholars.

I will let you do your own research.

When I was in college, that was the consensus among the scholars in the 1980s.
The rabidly conservative Southern Baptists students I went to school with would tell you that in a heartbeat.

The ministers and priests I have had the opportunity to work with over the years, have that understanding as well.

There was no CNN or Fox News at the time. The NT covers a very specific period of time..
unlike the OT.

Do your own work, before popping off.

Clearly you aren’t Godspeed M.Div.

So?

You go ahead with whatever belief structure you want. If you bother to read, it will open up many doors though🤷🏻‍♂️.
In reality, faith only gets you so far, if you want to be taken seriously.
I have provided valid information, you are questioning history. ...meh...

I will defend your right to do so. I will laugh at you as well. That’s the beauty of system we have.

Don’t let me stop you from reveling in your ignorance .

✌🏻 @GodSpeed63

@GodSpeed63
Why am I not surprised you think words from biblical scholars “won’t wash” unless they go along with your indoctrinated babbling?
You prefer ignoring facts. You love to hide behind edited passages from your holy book of fairy tales to call people fools. You also edit responses to fit your spin. You run away from confrontation. You’re a male but not a man.
You are a coward, a liar (and I have proof of that too), and a brainwashed fool.

They're mere men and, without the Spirit of God, they no nothing of the Scriptures.

They are theologians who dedicate their lives to the study of the book you cherish.
There are those who read Greek and Aramaic like you read the newspaper.

You as yet haven’t demonstrated your ability to work in ancient languages.

It might surprise you what the Greek says..

The New Testament was pulled together from a world of letters going around as official letters to churches. The canon was pulled together my men...to frame a story to support an empire...

You are still posting from a position of faith. Stop attacking those who do the intellectual heavy lifting , so that you can hide behind a screen and be a pious prick.

So?

You aren’t funny or particularly smart.

If you had anything left to say that was meaningful, I am guessing you would have said it by now.


Putain de merde

@GodSpeed63

@GodSpeed63 And you’re a mere fool.
Oh and a liar. And a coward.

@wilderflower [quote]And you’re a mere fool. Oh and a liar. And a coward.[/quote]

And, you are losing this debate.

@GodSpeed63 Running away doesn’t mean you’re winning. It means you’re a coward.
