Not true; I once believed until I thought it through critically.

You say that you once believed, but did you ever experience any divine inspiration?  or any personal relationship?

Apparently he didn't, otherwise he would still believe.
Looks like I've come full circle.

No, I'm not prone to schizophrenia.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I also am not the product of immaculate conception, have never been overtaken by the spirit during a church service or spoken in tongues, have never had an encounter with zombies and have never been abducted by a UFO.

...nor, apparently have you had an occasion of complete disappointment, where only your puny self was left to challenge the outcome. I would hope that you never suffer such a fate, but in this life, we all will at some point.

& WHEN that happens, Jesus will still be there.

...of course, so will all the pumped up keyboard cowboys who are going to cheat fate.   lol

Been there; done that -- several times, as a matter of fact.

Still no need for jc, even when I peeked over the edge in a land far, far away.

Kinda peaceful, as a matter of fact.

I made a deal with god (whichever one was currently in favor at the time) about twenty years ago. I wouldn't blame her for the bad stuff, so long as she didn't expect credit for the good stuff.

From what I understand, the other books of the gospel DOES support the resurrection....also, there are other books that are in this Codex Sinaiticus, that supports the resurrection....

Honestly, I am only getting info from other sources, and I am relying on them for the facts....It is MY position that to me, it seems that everytime somebody THINKS they found pertinent information that MIGHT disrupt the Bible, it ALWAYS comes back empty.

The so-called tomb of Jesus, has so far NOT done anything to prove or support that Jesus of the Bible is the one in the tomb.

I simply find it ... amusing (or maybe sad is a better word), how badly some people want to disprove the Christian religion..and so far, has not been able to even scratch it....in my opinion.

All a moot point Hank, as the word of god is pretty clear on this whole issue.  So, one must ask one's self; when was Rev 22:18-19 edited in, or was it always there? :biggrin:  Or, are there some plagues still roaming around out there, for your editorial review?   :biggrin: :biggrin:

Juan Garces, the British Library project curator, said it should be no surprise that the ancient text is not quite the same as the modern one, since the Bible has developed and changed over the years.

Revelation 22 (King James Version)

18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Maybe if it was added in, it was JUST before the Black Plague.
