  1. Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. It is not complicated. Just follow in the teachings and example set by Jesus.
  2. If I introduce doubt, you blame me? In my opinion the truth should never fear hard examination, because in the end it will prevail. And once the truth has been verified it shall be an even stronger center for faith. I shall ask my question now. Why do you fear skepticism?
  3. An influencer is someone in your niche or industry with sway over your target audience. That is the definition of "influencer".
  4. Good point, my bad. I am aware that both dates (birth and death) are celebrated but both of them are basically unknown and the church has pasted those events on dates that are convenient.
  5. Yes, God gave us abilities. What we do with them is what matters. One can use their strength for bad things, or to defend their family. One can use their genitals to rape or father a family. No. Use the Bible to dispute the Bible? I have seen pages of biblical quote-offs in here, each party posting passages from the Bible, with zero intellectual exchange of opinions. Unlike you and many, I do not take the Bible as 100% literally true. I consider it a nice book with wonderful inspirational messages.
  6. Climatologist predicted many decades ago that global warming would trigger extreme swings in the weather.
  7. Since God gave us the ability to be skeptical, it would be a sin not to exercise this ability. Applying skepticism leads us to the truth. And is it reasonable to infer that untruths are the work of Satan? I do suggest you research the First Council of Nicaea, a documented event that was the first amalgamation of various sects into one coherent religion, Christianity? For example, they decided on the day to celebrate Easter. Therefore one must infer that no one had hard evidence on the day of Jesus's birth. Think about that.
  8. And how do they do this> What devices do they use in such an endeavor? Please describe the machinery, in detail. If you are unable, then you have invented a fantasy world that is not supported by evidence.
  9. If you accept the proposition that there are aliens you accept the modern scientific view of the universe, that is is huge and has billions of planets and stars. But the moment you begin to delve into the details, that vast distances are involved. The nearest star is 4.246 light years away. If we sent a radio message, it would take over 4 years before aliens on Proxima Centauri get the message and if they respond, another 4.246 years before the message gets to us. Remember when I said the universe is huge? If you could travel at the speed of light and began at one end of the Milky Way, it would take you over 100,000 years to travel to tho other side. And our Milky way is not special, and it is just one of over a hundred billion galaxies, each with over a hundred billion stars. Yes, that is a lot, but the distances are vast. Why would any alien race want to go to the effort of visiting earth? They obviously have superior technology and that removes one reason for them to visit earth. Or is a second possibility that the US military and security services wanted a very remote air base to test experimental aircraft but keeping the public from knowing what they are up to? So they foster the "alien" stories as a cover for what's really going on, that such exotic and top secret aircraft as the U-2, F-117, or SR-71 flew from there under top secret security and if someone saw something weird or fast in the sky, the first thing people think about is aliens rather than "what a weird aircraft, what is it?"
  10. It is not fancy, Jesus preached that we should love all. Follow the messages from Jesus.
  11. Have we forgotten that Jesus was an influencer? There is nothing wrong with someone speaking their mind, and those words impacting others. Just about every public person you like is an influencer. Not all influencers are bad people.
  12. Have you ever learned about the Euthyphro Dilemma? One interpretation is "is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just".
  13. Every valid piece of evidence points to the simple fact that the laws of physics are unchanging. What they were a million years ago, or ten seconds ago, no difference. If you can prove me wrong, then there is a Nobel prize and millions of dollars waiting for your collection.
  14. I suggest you educate yourself on "First Council of Nicaea" where Christianity was finally and formally brought together. In that assemblage many texts were allowed into the bible, others not. There were also edits. Therefore it is not rational to believe that everything in the bible is true, or that the bible held all of the relevant facts. And of note, were those prophesies in the bible put to paper before they occurred or after?
  15. Ownership of the stupidest question has just been re-assigned. So .... the short answer is you can not back up your assertions. You made a claim, it was challenged. But instead of backing up your claim with facts and evidence, you just go to ad hominem. 1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect Read the Bible and follow the teachings of Jesus instead of engaging in such actions.
