Is it true, that there is more evidence for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ than for any other personal event in ancient history?
Obviously, ancient historical events are only evidenced and cannot be proven. Mostly they are evidenced by documents. What other personal event might compete?
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoWhy did God choose a woman suspected of having mental problems as the first witness of Christ's resurrection?
The witness was Mary Magdalene. Why was she chosen, when Jewish men would generally reject the testimony of any woman? Was God just putting His thumb in the eye of an errant patriarchal society?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIF a Christian murders it goes against command of Christ, how does this work for an atheist?
Under what moral authority does an atheist work? Is this moral authority totally subjective? Does every atheist decide for him/herself what is wrong.. is anything absolutely wrong/evil?
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIs it absurd to believe that everything has come from nothing, caused by nothing? Why is such faith so popular?
This seems to be the faith of atheists who for the most part believe in a purely mechanical universe.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIf everything is relative to an atheist.. when are rape and racism acceptable things?
To an atheist..it seems there are absolutely no moral absolutes...except for the absolute that there are no absolutes. So when are rape and racial hatred good things? Can you define a good thing? Why do atheists complain about the rape, murder and pillaging that is accurately recorded in the Bible, when by definition they cannot absolutely condemn such actions?
28 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIs there any logic that helps Darwinism escape the charge of being foundationally racist?
Remember, A. Hitler was just trying to help evolution along by removing the weaker races... Even his autobiography praises Darwin.. called Mein Kempf.. or My Struggle.. as in his personal struggle to survive. Why do we teach a racist, non-scientific propaganda laced view to school children?
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoWas the Reverend Wright over the top when he said, MLK I have a dream, BHO I have a drone?
Obviously, I have abbreviated the statement of Wright. I grant Wright was pithy, but why is he anti-Pres. Obama?
1 AnswerReligion & Spirituality7 years agoHow can JWs and LDS continue to deny the deity of Jesus and yet claim to follow the Bible?
John 1.1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1 and even Isaiah 53 all [among other texts] clearly support the deity of Jesus the Messiah. Throughout the Bible God is constantly presented as being essentially one, yet eternally existing as three persons. Call that what you will, it is Biblical.
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoHow can a person logically be an atheist?
Obviously, the atheist is a finite being denying the existence of an infinite being. Also, the atheist by definition absolutely denies the absolute. Why do atheists still pretend to hold the logical higher ground? Is it just flat out denial or something more?
21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoWhy is it that pro-aborts love to deny the basic humanity of the human fetus?
According to all implications in the Bible and based on every relevant field of science the unborn human being is 100% human. Oddly, in this one case pro-aborts abandon science and wax eloquent on philosophy, theology and psychology in order to support their murderous ways... but why? Is it just politics or is it a commitment to atheism?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoBy what logic is atheism reasonable?
Atheism denies the existence of the absolute.. absolutely. As finite persons they arrogantly, but absolutely deny the existence of an infinite person. This universe is obviously more than the result of time plus chance. If only time plus chance were at work, the universe would not be complex, organized and have natural systems that relate to each other.
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIs there any logic that helps Darwinism escape the charge of being foundationally racist?
Darwinism must be open to humans evolving from ape-like creatures in more than one area. Darwin certainly believed this and also believed that Blacks and women were less evolved than white men.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoKrishna tells Arjuna, "Do not fret about the murder and bloodshed associated with killing friends?
and relatives, women and children because this is only an illusion... be detached..murder is okay.. Just follow your duty as prescribed by your caste. How can this be even considered? Is this like a stone age version of Christian Science where all pain and suffering are just an illusion?
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIs the main obligation of the Hindu is to do his duty as prescribed by his caste?
According to Krishna's wisdom to the warrior [a foundational story of Hinduism] it is. But, that means the vast number of Hindus, being in the lowest class are left without hope in the world.. That seems sad and unfair.
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhat is and how important is forgivenness?
Biblically speaking is forgiveness essential. In Matthew 6 what does it mean that if we do not forgive others God will not forgive us?
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhat about a Roman Catholic priest's authority?
The Jewish nation of Jesus' time had ordained priests. They were endowed with clear God-given mandates to lead the nation in the spiritual realm. They failed miserably because they claimed their own man-made traditions were actually of God [we know they failed because of the condemnation of Jesus in Matthew 23]. They burdened people rather than liberating them. How does Roman Catholic leadership that has a less clear Bible authority avoid promoting traditions of men as principles of God? Would they know if they had also fallen into this error?

3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhy do Mormons have a greater suicide rate than the rest of the population?
Is it because their legalistic religion demands too much? Is it because they have such a low view of God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit? Is it because their denial of every major doctrine of Scripture is in itself depressing?
