Who me

It is interesting that there is no command about how much one should give in the New Testament, Only in the old are there regulations about giving. Instead we are urged to give generously, in accordance with our ability/wealth, to give regularly and secretly.

The belief in a late date for the authorship of the gospels is very much down to the bias of the critics. See:- a letter to Robinson, the New Testament scholar C. H. Dodd wrote, "I should agree with you that much of the late dating is quite arbitrary, even wanton[;] the offspring not of any argument that can be presented, but rather of the critic's prejudice and :-Bart Ehrman maintains that Robinson's early dates for the gospels, especially those for John, have not been taken up among most liberal scholars of Biblical historicity.[37] Some conservative and traditionalist scholars, however, concur with his dating of the synoptic gospels. from wiki on the, liberal Bishop John Robinson. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robinson_(bishop_of_Woolwich)

Don't you realise that God forgave us when we repented, and the prayer is saying we will also forgive those who, like us, repented.

So you never talk about church comment on the news, on matters of morality, all you do is talk about work and quote the scriptures. Or do you give a Christian view on the news, morality etc etc. Why not add to that the facts about the accuracy and reliability of the bible.

May I suggest typing your post in something like word so you can use spell check etc before posting. It is a frustratingly slow way of posting, otherwise, take a breath before hitting ' post ' and rereading the post.

Listening to testimonies I have heard again and again how someone came to Christ. Often it is a long drawn out process, no two testimonies are the same, yet there are common features. Atheists going from rejecting the bible as fairy tales, to learning about its historical accuracy, to starting to read it, not to pick apart but out of interest and coming to an understanding of who the bible shows Jesus to be. Yes we ha e to present Jesus, but is there only one way of doing that? Can we not talk about the historical facts a out Jesus? Can we not challenge there views about the resurrection? Or can we only quote parrot fashion what the bible says?

Not just the ' credible " this tactic is used by many online atheists and a knowledge of the sites I've quoted and of many others, helps as they have encountered the ' smokescreen ' arguments and have responses. We are told to be wise and to be inocent, we don't have to constantly reinvent the wheel, when talking about our faith. The questions, challenges etc posed by atheists are not new and they have been answered many many times through out history. We just need to read them.

Repentance, being sorry for, turning away from, changing one behaviour. Forgiveness, putting away all memory of an offence, removing any resentment or anger against someone who has offended and the restoring a relationship. Without repentance there cannot be true forgiveness, this is found through out the bible.

It is o lying Christianity that is offensive to the ungodly .

Consider how arguments that demonstrate the accuracy of the bible can start breaking up hard infertile soil so it is more likely to respond to a gospel seed.

No it is the otherwise around, nonchristiaans will be, are offended by the preaching of the gospel, by the qua.ity of Christians lives is offensive as it shows up the immorality of their lives and they are offended. In the UK laws are being formed that make it a criminal offence to offend someone. This is aimed at protecting gays and against Christians.American hate laws will be twisted to do the same.

So you are saying g that sinners do not need to repent? That Peters response to the crowd on the day of pentecostal, to repent and be baptised was wrong?

And how would you answer their questions about the accuracy of scripture?

God uses people to witness to him by how they live, how they talk and in their bei g ready to give an explained or reason for the hope that they have. When speaking with intelligent atheists one has to have intelligent arguments that challenge there views. Do you have such arguments?

If you are a practicing Christian, that is not just someone who calls the self a Christian, you don't need to do anything. Take a look at a calendar, the months and days of the week are largely named after pagan gods. Using a calender does not cause one to loose there salvation and it is the same with .ost usernames and other products.

Aye I suggest the various Web sites that have posted answers to the accusations that the bi le is full of contradictions.

As imitators of God we are to do what God does. How does God forgive? It throughout the bible is conditional on repentance. Then we must as the verses say we must forgive, regardless of how we might feel about it.

OK so you would both quote the bible to people like atheist journalist Lee Strobel and atheist coldcase detective James Warner, two well educated cynical men of the world, both of whom in there autobiographies admit they rejected the bible and considered it irrelevant to life. Both of them became Christians through their investigations of the evidence for Christianity. It is this information I am trying to get this information into the hands of ordinary Christians. Remember Paul used reasoning and the knowledge his audience had to reach them. How would you reach men like Strouble and Warner, hardened cynical atheists who reject and won't read the bible?

As the other one has said, it is a worldly money making scheme. The bible is very old slang for ' source of all knowledge' see:- https://opensea.io/blog/articles/non-fungible-tokens It comes from the fact that Christians used to constantly refer to the bible, be quoting it in there speech so any knowledgeable book or manual would be refer to as a ' bible'.

Only by remaining close with Jesus, by knowing what Gods law requires of you, not the letter of the law but the spirit of the law and by repenting of the inevitable failures.

We are to Love our enemies, those who do us harm, yes by praying intelligently for their good. But We are also to imitate God/Jesus, which means that like God we only forgive those who repent.

Ever been stumped to answer a hard question on Christianity? You shouldn't have been, take a print out and ask your preacher why he does not use the information on it. Look up Sir William Michael Ramsay:-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mitchell_Ramsay This is wiki page for him, you can also find him on the biblical archeology site. He demonstrated back at the beginning of the 20th century the accuracy of the New Testament. Ask you ministers why they haven't taught you about him. Then there is Prof Robert dick Wi.son, an American who in the 1930 demonstrated from the heights of linguistic excellence ( he was fluent in every biblical language ) the accuracy of the Old Testament:-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dick_Wilson Again a wiki page you can find him on Christian sites. Let's come up todate. None of you have mention today's experts on the accuracy and reliability of the bible. Do you know them? Lee Strobel he has investigate and published his findings. James Warner of coldasechristianity. These are two X atheists who became Christian because of the provable evidence. Dr G Habbermas an expert on the historical fa ts of the resurrection. William Lane raig a professor of philosophy and a formidable debater about God, chistianity etc look at his Web site reasonablefaith. Then there are Web sites like answers in genesis, they have many articles easier to understand than Craig, that show the accuracy and reliability of the bible. Creation.com ditto. Wintery Knight, toughquestionsanswered. You should all be familiar with these sites and people sharing the information in your churches. There is no excuse for any Christian not to be able to answer the questio s you've had asked of you. Start reading.

I'll join in and demonstrate the ignorance of your pastors.

Hea en is where God is. As God has always existed so heaven has always existed. He'll is where God is not. He consciously withdrew his presence from the area where hell is. C.s. Lewes pictured hell as being g smaller than an atom, in that compared to love hate is nothing.

Ha e you read the ' Sacted Diary of Adrian Plass? It is a story written as a diary about an ineffectual Christian as he struggles to live as a Christian and love other Christians, including some unloved people. One of them is an alcoholic, he struggles to help this man. The book ends with some moving, realistic lines. "He was looking at his problem and his solution" as they celebrated the Lords supper. Your brother/sister may well be a nuisance, but they may also need your love, support, help and prayers.
