    Your religion says youre not supposed to make false promises. And you just did.

    Thats a sin, aint it?

    When you are honest about Jesus, life is a lot easier than say - spending 5 years as a textual critic learning things even a lay man can understand [: (takes a couple days to read a dictionary, the mind retains a lot of the words if read properly, with proper relaxation and determination - these textual critics spend years learning at their own expense.)

    The Bible says that knowledge will increase in the last days. It doesn't say that people will become more intelligent though [:

    Get real!

    If you read the bible with an open mind and a half way decent education you would never believe it!

    The bible is what is called "Faction" A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

    There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

    There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

    Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

    At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

    The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god! He took the Jewish religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!

    Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?

    The first person to provide a shred of verifiable evidence for God will become world famous and mega rich! Ain't happened yet and it never will!

    No, you can't.

    I've read it cover to cover 7 times, in 3 different languages.

    I'm not a believer.

    Your "promise" is as empty and ridiculous as your bible stories.

    Then your promise would be a lie. Reading the bible kept adding to my doubts until finally I no longer believed in god even.

    I read the OT and NT from cover to cover and why am I still an atheist?

    And I had done so much research on the religion and I know that the biblical stories are just myths. There is absolutely no evidence to support the historicity of Jesus.

    I thought Jesus saved us, not the Bible.

    In addition, do what it says in John 3:3; and Romans 10v9-10; and Ephesians 2:v8-9; and Matthew 28V18-20. Peace and blessings.

    If you want to stay a Christian then never do that, instead read and repeat only the verses provided by your church in the form of package.

    Else be ready to challenge your own belief and even the existence of omnipotent God.

    I've read it. And quite to the contrary, it helped show me that Christianity was just another set of silly myths.

    You're not even sure how to phrase a question.

    I suggest go for another grammar book instead of grammar-flawed religious book.

    Might do you some good.
