Phlegon (who supposedly existed 80-140AD) It's written that Julius Africanus also mentions a historian named Phlegon who wrote a chronicle of history around 140AD. Phlegon mentions the darkness surrounding the crucifixion in an effort to explain it: Phlegon records that, in the time of Tiberius Caesar, at full moon, there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth to the ninth hour. (Africanus, Chronography, 18:1) Phlegon is also mentioned by Origen (an early church theologian and scholar, born in Alexandria): Now Phlegon, in the thirteenth or fourteenth book, I think, of his Chronicles, not only ascribed to Jesus a knowledge of future events . . . but also testified that the result corresponded to His predictions. (Origen Against Celsus, Book 2, Chapter 14) And with regard to the eclipse in the time of Tiberius Caesar, in whose reign Jesus appears to have been crucified, and the great earthquakes which then took place (Origen Against Celsus, Book 2, Chapter 33) Jesus, while alive, was of no assistance to himself, but that he arose after death, and exhibited the marks of his punishment, and showed how his hands had been pierced by nails.

The Jesus portrayed in the Bible most likely bears little to no resemblance to the Jesus that may or may not have actually existed (even his supposed date of birth is unknown, though historians agree that it was NOT December 25, for several reasons). And there is no proof outside the fairy tale Bible that he is "the son of god". Uh-huh. Pliny the Younger (who supposedly existed 61-113AD) supposedly wrote, in a letter to the Roman emperor Trajan, describing the lifestyles of early Christians: "They (the Christians) were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of foodbut food of an ordinary and innocent kind." So, not too many years after Christs death and ressurection. --- What our enemies have begun, we will finish |

| Marauder64 07/12/21 12:41:52 PM #85 | A persons mind can be swayed. It's not just YOU formulating thoughts that come into your mind.... but of course YOU yourself can act on the/those thoughts... Yes, knowing that we are all sinners, we're born pre-disposed to sin/commit evil. Look at children; they can be obedient, but they can also be mischievous. Yes, your destiny was pre-determined. Just as Christ doesn't know the exact time he's coming back, only God, we don't know what choices we will make in this life before the time(such as accepting Christs invitation). Only God knows the future, cause he's already there....inhabiting eternity is definitely something. We can think about it, saying "Oh, if THIS were to happen, I'd do this, or that" but he knows what decisions we're going to or would make in any given situation. All Christians can hope for is to be accounted worthy by Christ to enter heaven, as.. The Gospel according to Matthew Chap. 7 : 21-24 states: 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?" 23 "And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS." 24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." --- What our enemies have begun, we will finish |

| Marauder64 06/21/21 7:45:18 PM #135 | Ardbert posted... God wasn't able to fix the sin problem without creating Jesus and having him die. Well we're looking at things he's done, not what he "could" have done. He could of done things differently sure. Doesn't make him any less omnipotent. Also there wasn't any "before" Jesus. New American Standard Bible The Gospel according to John Chap. 8 : 56-58 states: 56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced. 57 So the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am. Remember, God created everything through his Word, who is his son, Jesus Christ. New International Version Colossians Chap. 1 : 15-18 state: 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. American Standard Version The Book of Isaiah 57 : 15 states: 15 "For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite." So if God inhabits eternity, and lives forever... what would happen if he had a son? King James Version The Gospel according to John Chap. 8 : 42 states: 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. So, we see here that they are both eternal...hard to wrap ones head around really. --- What our enemies have begun, we will finish |

He's the one, omnipotent sovereign lord. That would mean that before Jesus God had no power over sin, which contradicts his omnipotence. :v The idea that God would have to become human himself in order to conquer sin puts a limit on the scope of his power. Well, what is sin? A transgression of a rule God made. The laws were made to show us that none of us are perfect enough to keep them basically. What do you mean God had no power over sin?

To rule, or have authority over. Now Paul said some suspect things about women: 1 Corinthians Chap. 14 : 34-35 states: New King James Version Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church. Did God, or Jesus ever say such about women?

| Marauder64 06/21/21 4:58:03 PM #194 | Interesting. It's kind of like smoking. Obviously you're killing yourself, but it's your body, so people say, "so what, it's legal!" I'm guilty of this myself: Sex creates children between men and women. Self-control is needed, which myself, and I'm sure many others, lack. Sex, like smoking, can become an addiction. Smokers may become mad when restrictions are applied to them(such as no smoking indoors), so they don't effect OTHERS. I think that's what the key word is here, others. Actions and consequences. Smoking = Cancer... so let's restrict the users so they don't potentially kill others with their habit. Sex = Babies... so let's restrict the holder of the child (whom may have an addiction), so they don't go around killing the baby/babies inside of them, affecting another(the future of that potential baby/person). --- What our enemies have begun, we will finish |
