Passage Acts 18:19: 19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. Passage 1 Peter 3:15: 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: as to your points #1 is as absurd as God creating a rock He can not lift etc #2 your reason is totally absurd what building which is an inatimate object and is not as complex as a living animal is built without plans? plus i am sure you are aware that the Bible states that creation testifies to a creator so no man will be without excuse.#3 there are no absolute morals except those that God has put in place. #4 Christ ressurection was testified to by first hand accounts. more so than most "ancient historical books" archeological evidence has also verified and not disproven Biblical history. #5 their gods are dead none claim or have i witnesses that claim they have come back to life physically. the message of the gospel is entirely different than any other religion and it holds the only 100% accurate prohecies. now a question for you? why is a brother in Christ playing devil's advocate? love your sister in Christ, Rebekah David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
