The historical Jesus and the mythical Christ are completely different characters, in case that eluded you.

Christ did not exist; however, it is possible a preacher named Jesus did exist, who gathered some number of followers and had miracles and supernatural abilities attributed to him after he died.
>>
>>1259571
The muslims think it was a trick; that they switched bodies and someone else died on the cross, and then they stole and hid the body.

The Jews say that Jesus' followers bribed the guard to move the stone and lay down on the job, allowing the disciples to steal the body.

As the first hypothesis was 600 years after the fact, and has no basis in reality, and as the second is actually recorded in the bible, the same place that asserts the resurrection, both claims are weak.

People don't go to their deaths based on a lie they themselves perpetrated.

No body was ever found.

And hundreds of witnesses in Jerusalem saw Jesus after the resurrection. Maybe thousands. There is no written record of anyone disparaging the gospel account of the resurrection, and they were written in the lifetime of the eyewitnesses.

Never heard anyone claim the bible was proof of a God, other than atheists like yourself.

I don't think you differentiate between sane people making up lies and delusional people hearing voices, so no.

The cult leader at Waco did what all cult leaders do; make young people accessible to have sex with.

That was the point, bud.

Christians tend to think the death and resurrection of Jesus is the only possible reason anybody would still believe in him as God, therefore it must have happened and those people really saw it.

He created the universes.

Puts Him in a class all His own.

He fulfilled 350+ prophecies of the Messiah; born of a virgin; led a sinless life; performed many miracles and wonders; healed the blind, deaf, mute, crippled, lepers; raised the dead; fed 10,000 people with a few loaves and fish; prophesied His own death, by whose hands, on what day, by what means, and then prophesied His own resurrection on the third day.

There's a third heaven where God and the angels live that can be called a parallel dimension, sure. It overlaps our two heavens and the earth at all points and at all times. People there can talk to people here, and at least one person saw a ladder from here to there being used by angels.

The people who use "other folds" don't understand that Jesus was referring to Hades/Sheol.

When Jesus died, He went to Hades, the paradise side (at least), aka the Bosom of Abraham, and led all of those people into heaven.

He descended, and ascended, setting the captives free.
>>
>>1259837

That is exactly how concept of parallelism doesn't work. Parallel means minimized overlapping, even zero overlapping. Still an interesting question what exactly God created.

>>1259821
>Neither were murdered by people demanding they recant their lies.
Neither was Jesus in all likelihood. As soon as he caused the disturbance in the temple he was going to be executed. There were literally hundreds of Roman soldiers lining the walls of the temple just waiting for signs of trouble. Pilate had violently put down disturbances within the temple grounds in the past.

The story of Jesus trial and execution in the gospels is an absolute fairy tale that conflicts with everything we know about Pilate and the execution of Roman law.

the mechanism that is responsible for reality is God


jesus christ it's the first line in my post you dipshit

god has always been the ultimate cause/nature of existence

goddamn how hard is this to get
>>
>>1259891
It doesn't conflict with anything.

Pilate went through with the crucifixion because the Jewish leaders threatened to go to Caesar and tell Caesar that Pilate was allowing a King to go free under his governorship.

Pilate killing someone to not be on Caesar's shit list violates nothing we know about any human being ever.
>>
>>1259898
I define our universe as the earth and our two heavens, our atmo and space.

The third heaven is unlike our two, and is not "higher" than them, but as I said touching at all points and at all times, itself being timeless.

From there, God made the universe; He literally spoke it into existence.
>>
>>1259900
A very nice place, I would imagine, as it is called Paradise. It is that place that Jesus told the thief on the cross He would meet him, that day. It is where the righteous dead stayed until heaven was opened.

When Jesus said "It is finished", it was finished. The work was done. The Law demanded death for sins, not eternal torment.

Eternal torment is what you get when you are born dead and stay dead.
>>
>>1259915
Let's say the universe is evidence. Sun, moon, stars, earth, everything we know about.

Same evidence. Different filters.

There is no mechanism that is responsible for reality. It just exist. Like God in your theory just exist for example. Existence is already ultimate cause and nature of everything existent. Shocking right?
>>
>>1259955
So does jesus's sacrifice need to be meaningful? Or is it symbolism in of itself.

And does the symbolism need some semblance of real sacrifice to work as symbolism? Or does it just give the benefit of the doubt that SOMETHING was sacrificed.

Because I was talking to another dude and I couldn't get it out of him that god or christ had actually lost anything in the ordeal that might make it a legitimate sacrifice as opposed to a temporary annoyance.

>>1259997
Absolutely meaningful. Jesus fulfilled the Law; every single violation of the Law done by every single human being ever was paid for, in full.

God's holiness, justice and righteousness satisfied, He in His mercy and grace offers us the free gift of His salvation.

Salvation would not have been possible had there been a sin barrier between man and God. Jesus ripped down that barrier like He ripped down the curtain over the holy of holies in the Temple. Top to bottom.

While I'm not him, sure. That can't be proven or disproven with our current scientific methodology. Most people who hold themselves to those standards would say it's a pointless answer for that very reason and go on just fine without having to think about it. You trim the fat where it's not needed, right? They have more immediate, practical questions to answer unless they happen to be theoretical physicists.

But I would say that saying "It's REEAAALLY big and complex" is a really, really week argument. Because nothing there implies a creator. The universe just happens to be really goddamn big. A big thing doesn't need an infinite creator, just because infinite is infinitely bigger than big. You're just applying human senses of scale relative to difficulty. And it's been established that god does not abide by the limited human sense of scale.
>>
>>1259948
> I define our universe as the earth and our two heavens, our atmo and space.
This is completely arbitrary. Buddhist could add here his six heavens or whatever exist in myths. Instead of a list it is better to define universe as some sort of continual space. Somewhat in line with how there are no truly isolated parts in one universe. Divine overspace probably the only true universe from that point of view.

Why was it ever closed? Why did god, all powerful, need to send an aspect of himself down to humanity to fulfill his own law?

We "trim the fat" because of occam's razor. We understand that there are a lot of questions to be answered out there, and that spending your whole life trying to prove a question of little consequence can be a piss poor investment. Is that sensible to you?

And how is quantitative reasoning in any way autistic? Is internal consistency autistic? do you think I spend my time counting every leaf on every tree so I can be assured that none will fall on my car when and where I park it?

Because that would be "fat" to trim in a sense, too. There's a talent to even knowing what questions are worth asking, and what answers will pay out.

God is I Am, a supernatural triune spirit being Who dwells in unapproachable light.

He has always existed, and will always exist.

Ask Him why, if you want to know. He can hear you, and communicate with you just fine.

As He always existed, He has no cause behind Him; He is not a created being as you and I are.

I do not know everything, but I know that God knows everything, so I agree in all things with God.

Is that an unreasonable position?

Yes, and He will, on His timetable and as He said He would, in the place He made for just that purpose.

Otherwise, god is a fair weather friend. With you when he feels like it, against you when he doesn't quite feel like putting in the infinitesimally small speck of effort would have taken him to send down jesus.

And I showed empathy by showing the benefit of the doubt. Turn thy other cheek in it's appropriated meaning, and such. But while I assumed you'd have something well-thought-out to say. You've just come back with this circular shit over and over again about how it just is, duh.

> why is there something instead of nothing
You can't answer that question. Any kind of cause or an answer is a part of something. No matter if it was a God or Laws of Physics you would end in a contradiction. Why there is a God? Why there is a Laws? To be able to question something wasn't to be able to ask questions that make sense. Why is there is something instead of nothing is a question that doesn't make sense and part of philosophical wisdom is to know questions that doesn't have or even couldn't have a reasonable answers to them.

You're not talking about Jesus.

Jesus came to earth in order that you would know that He not only was tempted at all points as you are, but He is the Man of Sorrows; that He knows what suffering is, and has suffered more than any human being ever could.

He came to earth to show you that He loves you enough to die for you.

And no, He is not fickle, He does not break His word, He does not break His contracts, and He does not change as men do.

He is the Rock.

As a practical matter you are correct; as a spiritual matter, why God exists is a question that people really need to wrestle with as it is very relevant to our interests to know why we have been made.

someone please put forward an argument for Christianity and specifically for Christianity, so many arguments that don't necessarily imply Christianity are out of the question, I haven't seen any yet

Just try it yourself.


Have you asked god to reveal himself?
Have you tried visiting an Catholic Eucharistic adoration?
Have you tried visiting a meditative Taize Service?
Have you tried Orthodox Hesychia Meditation/ the Jesus Prayer?

I asked God and he give me an answer. He got all time on the world. He can spent one second for a simple man like me. If God doesn't like to answer to your questions... Well, hard to be you, I guess.

Yes. Like one rich boy knows how to live without poverty but would never understand poor people, and shouldn't expect poor people to understand him as a person.

Demonic.

Mostly pathetic is how you believe that God can't answer one simple question if you ask him nicely.

You are against God, actually. You just may not be aware that you decided to remain God's enemy by refusing the only source of salvation known to mankind.

If the universe was created by a cheap trick, it was a pretty neat cheap trick.

There is a claim, that very few muslims believe, that Mohammad flew to the heavens and cut the moon in half.

It isn't about being literally poor. It is about living as the creature of sinful nature and Jesus played the life on God Mode that is free from sin.

>Pilate went through with the crucifixion because the Jewish leaders threatened to go to Caesar and tell Caesar that Pilate was allowing a King to go free under his governorship.
>Pilate killing someone to not be on Caesar's shit list violates nothing we know about any human being ever.
Pirate is literally the only Roman official that I know of for being recalled because he was TOO brutal. The idea of a Roman official doing anything to appease Jewis leaders in regards to an execution (they had 0 authority in that regard) is laughable.

Jesus wasn't killed by Jews because he was criticizing Jews. Jews did that with abandon during the time period and nobody was ever executed for Jews because of it. It was commonplace at the time.

Jesus was killed because he caused a disturbance in the temple and because the very language 'the kingdom of heaven' would have been considered seditious. When Roman's encountered non-violent sedition the general policy was to crucify the leader. This is what happened.

You can call it whatever you want. Just like flat earthers are free to believe whatever you want.

The fact of the matter is that you don't understand it even a little and labeling physics as God is retarded as fuck.

>The Jews say that Jesus' followers bribed the guard to move the stone and lay down on the job, allowing the disciples to steal the body.
Given that Jesus' disciples were mostly Jewish, I'm going to assume this is right. Nobody knows how Jews jew Jews like the Jews.

What are you talking about? I don't see any war or rivalry between me and God. We are good buddies and no amounts of warmongering from your would change that. Go oppose God himself if you want to see such rivalry that much.

If you are not God's child, you are His enemy.

You were born as His enemy in a race that declared war on Him, led by an angel that rebelled against Him.

The word from which Hesychasm, a tradition of prayer in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, is derived

In Greek mythology, either the daemon personification of silence, a handmaiden of the god of sleep, Hypnos; or a mortal daughter of Thespius

Literally a demon.

>"Hey look. A Greek sect of Christianity uses the Greek term for silence to describe a prayer usually done in silence. Must mean they worship demons. Trolololol".

By your "logic" the gospel of John is greek Deism or polytheism because it reused the logos term.

As well the fact that you cannot even decide which word it actually stems from tells me you are full of shit.

Sensory nerves can be triggered by stimuli other than the ones they are "listening" for. Have you ever heard high-pitched ringing in your ears when you knew there was no noise? The neurons were triggered by something other than sound, and the brain interpreted it as sound because that's what it does when the neurons are triggered.

Eyes work the same way. Physical impact can trigger firing in nerve cells in the eye even though they are "listening" for light. The expression "seeing stars" comes directly from this, as a blow can cause you to see light where there was none as the nerves fire.

You mean the section of the Bible that reads like an eyewitness account to a private Roman trial even though that would NEVER EVER EVER have happened? The one where a Roman official literally releases a murderer even though that would NEVER EVER EVER have happened.

Sure thing bud.
