Some people believe that Jesus Didn't die on the cross....Some speculate that He was so dehidrated that the blood flow slowed down so he didn't bleed to death and was awoken by Mary after he was placed in Tomb simply by giving him water....
A new scientific study shows something else. A blood clot???? Here is the link:

If I could translate what Homo wrote, I could respond. I do my best though.

I'm guessing as a child you were never taught to think either.
No I was not molested as a child, but millions were and still are. And many are molested by God-fearing priests. What happens to them? Not much it seems. In fact the church defends them and some get promoted. That's their idea of "religious morals". Must be an oxymoron. |

i think its funny how extravagant people become with their theories on the truth of Christ. Is it hard to believe that their is a creator? WHy couldn't Jesus be real? I find the life of Christ much more plausible than a giant fat man flying through the air on a sled, delivering presents to every house in the world, on just one night. If you argue in the case that creationsm isnt factual then where did everything begin? Take the big bang theory for example. Where did the first super dense piece of matter come from? Did it create itself? or did something create it? If it did created itself then that means it created matter from nothing, exceding the limitations of human beings, making it a God. If something made the matter than was it a God? Or did something make that as well. The point is there had to be something to begin with and that somthing had to create itself, therefore, it is God and created the universe from nothing. So ive established that there must be a God. If there is a God then why would it be so hard to believe that JEsus did exist and that this his crusifiction was real? I am a christian and I do believe that Jesus died on the cross. Maybe the dying for your sins is to weird for u to fathom but in reality you can hardly fathom anything in the universe. WE use 10% of our minds. Who knows what's possible. Now the reason that christianity is so realibable is that people can testify to had having experinces with God. Deep in the the pit of your stomach you get a sensation that unexaplainably almost seems like words. Many call it your consience but in fact its biblical to being the holy spirit. I can attest to having felt the power of God in my life. I have cried out on his name and only when i pray to him or in his Jesus's name am i answered. I know that I can trust in God to help me when everything else has failed and all hope seems lost. If I am stuck against a wall then he opens a window for me. When i was younger I had a basketball couch for rwo years whom I recently heard had been diagnoised with a fatal cancer found usualy only in small children. No one in the world has ever recovered from the cancer but after much prayer and faith all traces of the cancer were lost. At my church a young woman began to pray in tongues and a foreign woman who spoke no english understood what she was saying. There is a knoweldge that chrisitans obtain that is undenaibly supernatural. AS an inecesor I have felt this many times. Ive had things on my heart that God wanted me to say to people and having to previous notion that it was what they needed to hear i gave them the message. There are many times that I have felt God and in many small ways but I can say that if I know anything then it is that God is real. Even more sure that I am some creature somewhere, that I am something, I am sure that bible is real meaning the crusifiction was real. I'll save you from the endless thoughts in my mind now while I still can lol Im open for debate..but go easy im only 14 lol |

It is up to those who contend that there is a Creator to prove it. Even if we assume that there IS a Creator, why does it HAVE to be Jesus? More people on Earth believe in other deities than Jesus, you know. Are they all wrong? If you think so, please explain, using facts if possible, why you think so.
"WHy couldn't Jesus be real? I find the life of Christ much more plausible than a giant fat man flying through the air on a sled, delivering presents to every house in the world, on just one night."
Why do you make this a contest between Jesus and Santa Claus? What does one have to do with the other? Who above the age of about eight do you know who believes in Santa? The argument against Jesus being the Savior would include the fact that no one can "raise" someone from the dead, walk on water or turn water into wine, just to name a few things off the top of my head. These things are not possible today, let alone 2000 years ago.
Please don't say that Jesus could do those things because he was the Savior. That would be an exercise in "circular reasoning." If you are unfamiliar with that term, please take a moment to look it up. I don't mean to be condescending to you by saying that, by the way.
"The point is there had to be something to begin with and that somthing had to create itself, therefore, it is God and created the universe from nothing."
So, who created God? If a "God" can be self-creating, why couldn't the universe? You may not realize that there are people who believe that the universe IS God. On the other hand, there are people, like myself, who maintain that there is no credible evidence for the existance of ANY version of God.
"So ive established that there must be a God."
Um, no, but nice try.
"If there is a God then why would it be so hard to believe that JEsus did exist and that this his crusifiction was real?"
You've started with an "if" and jumped to the notion that that "if" is proof of the truth of your personal version of God. As I've mentioned before, many more people believe in a God that is NOT Jesus. If you think that your sincere faith in Jesus "proves" His divinity, logically shouldn't that be cancelled out by the sincere belief of millions of other people who disagree with you?
"I am a christian and I do believe that Jesus died on the cross. Maybe the dying for your sins is to weird for u to fathom but in reality you can hardly fathom anything in the universe."
Not strictly true. We're increasing our admittedly limited knowledge of the universe around us all the time. This Monday morning, July 4th, we're about to crash a probe into a comet for the first time in human history. We stand to learn a great deal from that experiment, just for example. The problem isn't that the crucifixion of Christ is "too weird" but that there is ZERO evidence that it occurred, let alone that it happened because Jesus was the son of God who ordered him to die for our sins.
Honestly, Lindsay, hasn't it ever crossed your mind that asking your child to die when you could easily prevent it is kind of sadistic? Is that really how a divine being would act?
"WE use 10% of our minds."
That is an old wives' tale. It is an inaccurate figure. |

Actually, CMG, while Jesus was here for the purpose of Savior-hood, he still had a choice. Free-will. This is why he was praying in Gethsemane the night before. He always had the choice.
P.S. People keep referring to Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit as totally seperate beings. Remember, God IS Jesus IS the Holy Spirit.
Jesus the HUMAN was not immortal. God is immortal. When the form of Jesus took shape, it was a mortal form. |

I have strong reason to belive that Jesus is bc I have never found anything in the bible that hasnt been true. Who are humans to say wat is possible and what is not? We know so little. Science is trying to figure things out and i believe that taking religion out of many of the theories is just a way to make the universe fit into our minds. We will never understand everyhting in the universe bc it is to complex. The whole point about God creating himself is that he is God. If the universe created itself then it would be God to. But I believe in my God above all others bc I have experinced things with God. The truth is that until you have had an experince with God you will probly never believe me. You will be critical of this thinking. But everyone who has had these types of experinces agree with me. ill offer a better argument later but I have to leave and thats just skimming some thoughts off my mind so dont jump to the conclusion that I dont know what im talking about |

I myself have had an experiece with God and he is amazing! He is 3 in one The Father (God) The Son (Jesus) And the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to go to church, don't knock it until you've tried it. But you know you must go to a good church not one that will teach you nothing. Jesus will lead you to what church to go to so follow his speaking. |

and by the way Jesus was definatly not a trouble maker! He did nothing no sin the only time he sinned was when he took our sins apoun himself to give us the choice of going to heaven or to hell. If you want heaven then all you have to do is pray and ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. But if you want hell I just say that this was a very wrong choice. Hell is like when you die over and over again and burn forever would you like that? |

Well, here we go once again into another never-ending theological debate. The problem is that if you believe in God, then you believe in an omnipotent being who can do anything that He pleases. Therefore, anything is possible and no argument can really go against that. On the other hand, if you don't believe in God, then all the miracles and such seem too unrealistic and impossible, and you can't accept them all as being true. So I really doubt that anybody here's going to manage to convince anybody else of much. |

cold hard facts dont change ppls minds...passionet words or experinces can but from my experince alot of ppl cant argue with any miracles i have to offer so they over look the fact that i said it or just leave..if anyone is interested and open minded then there could possibly be changing of minds..but some ppl are set in their ways..lol u may think i am but im not I just know that God is real and besides that I change very much...one thing that I would like to say is that I believe that Jesus is just as real as all of you are. I have felt, heard, been influenced by, and sensed God on many occasions |

The people in this place tend to be the more skeptical types of people, which makes taking things on faith alone rather difficult for many of them. You'll probably find a larger percentage of doubters here than you would on a more general website. |

Facts are the only thing that SHOULD influence your opinions. I agree with you that a lot of people are more influenced by a passionate argument than by factual evidence but that is a shame.
"one thing that I would like to say is that I believe that Jesus is just as real as all of you are. I have felt, heard, been influenced by, and sensed God on many occasions"
No matter how sincere or passionate your belief in something is, that does not and will never amount to PROOF that it is real, true or correct.
Suppose I was to tell you that I was absolutely certain that the Earth is flat, that I believed that with every fiber of my being. Would that PROVE to you that it is? If not, why not? After all, I completely BELIEVE it. How can my sincere FAITH be wrong? That's essentially the argument you're using: you believe in something so it HAS to be right. Sorry, that isn't proof of anything. As I have pointed out before, many many other people believe in a deity other than the one you believe in. They are every bit as sincere as you are. Why are they wrong but you are right? Please explain.
As far as I'm concerned, you have the legal right to believe anything you want but merely repeating the fact that you believe in it will never constitute "proof" of the validity of your belief(s). Repetition will not change that, either. |

Faith, please read my comments to Lindsay above. The main problem with your "reasoning" is that you start with an assumption--that there is a God--then you pile many assumptions on top of it. At the end, you essentially look people in the eye and say, "There you go!" as if you've made a logical, cogent argument. If any single part of your "argument" is wrong (and I believe they ALL are), the entire thing falls apart.
Yes, I realize that the chance of causing you to rethink your position is slim to none, but I'm treating you like an adult by pointing out the flaw(s) in your thinking. There's always a (small) chance that you'll come around.
Please don't respond by simply repeating the unproven assertions you've already given. |

You managed to miss my point entirely. Isn't it just a wee bit sadistic for "God the Father" to ask his son to allow himself to be murdered? God, by definition, can do anything at all, even if it would defy the known laws of physics (kind of like Troy Hurtubise now that I think about it). So that MUST mean that God the Father could have prevented the whole situation. Allowing your child to be murdered seems like a rather inefficient way--to say the least--to resolve a problem given that you can do absolutely anything at all. Keep in mind, of course, that I think the whole thing is a bunch of bullshit.
"P.S. People keep referring to Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit as totally seperate beings. Remember, God IS Jesus IS the Holy Spirit."
Well, yes, that's certainly the B.S. story they fed me in Catholic school.
"Jesus the HUMAN was not immortal. God is immortal. When the form of Jesus took shape, it was a mortal form."
I refer you to my previous comment. |

lol my argument is completely different than the earth being flat. I have reason to believe it. Once again the fact that I have had experinces with God is over looked.
Lets put it this way. This is a pretty crummy metaphor bc of the knowledge that we really do have but put it aside for a few moments and try to see my point.
If I looked at the earth from outer space and saw with my own eyes that it was flat, then indeed it would be flat and I would believe it. Now lets say that I came back down to Earth and told everyone about my new discovery but eveyone was skeptical. People just couldnt believe that the earth was flat bc of the knowlege that they believe makes the most sense. People devoloped thousands of theories as to why the Earth couldn't be flat or to me being seeing it wrong. But the fact is that I saw that the Earth was flat and the skeptics had not. All of the people that went to space and looked at the earth agreed with me but the ones who had not seen it refused to believe that the Earth was flat.
lol so that wasnt the greatest metaphor or anything but ive had a long day sorry my mind isnt really working to well right now.
now in real life we know for certain that the Earth isnt flat. You could win the arguement easily. So that is a horrible metaphor to the situation. everyone always argues why God can be real but why dont you tell me why God cant be real?
your belief is that only facts should influence ones desicion but i dont agree with that. Have you ever watched a movie where a lawyer knew for certain that someone had commited a crime but couldnt prove it in court bc of lack of information. Without a shawdow of doubt the lawyer can see that the person is guilty, but sometimes cold hard facts cant do justin to a situation. Maybe if we were all robots facts should be the only thing to infulence us but when believe, morals, passion, and other emotions run our lives and not facts than it could be possible that we should use those emotions to influence our emotions. If people are changed by passion than passion is what should change us. Saying that only facts should influence is rather vague and strips away our humanity. Not everything can be explained so that it can fit into our thinking capacity and yet you want only facts. This is what really bothers me about these types of beliefs. Its so cold. We have feelings we have passions we should use them its how we were made. Facts dont influence most people for a reason.
just give me the holes in that and ill fix them my mind isnt working well right now
