RE: INDUCING ARMAGEDDON via RELIGION
I wan't to believe in God(s) and true objective morality, but I haven't found solid evidence/proof yet. I only wish to believe in something I can rationally prove. Have you found any?
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only path to God the Father, and the forgiveness of your sins.
The existence of the Bible itself, especially the gospels and the rest of the New Testament and what it says is proof that Jesus walked on this earth 2000 years ago. The manuscripts that exist and the number of them is a miracle itself. The gospels weren't written until sometime after Jesus's death but well within the timeframe of when eye witnesses to what he did were still alive. There is no evidence that suggests that the person of Jesus didn't exist. The question becomes, do you believe that he did and said what the gospels say he did. If so, then you need to look at these things and make a conscious decision as to what that implies.
There were enough Christians alive and in Rome, which in those days was not a close journey to Jerusalem, that Nero was able to blame the burning of Rome on the Christians in 90 AD. Where did those people come from if Jesus isn't who he said he is and did the things he did?
"Where did those people come from if Jesus isn't who he said he is and did the things he did?"
Couldn't it be by persuasion or fooling?
Where is the record of people saying they were being fooled? Jesus appeared to many many people, which is highly documented both in the Bible and in historical records like Josephus.
It's not like today, when if you say you're a Christian, people say, that's nice for you.
Nero was burning Christians alive for their faith and feeding them to the lions. This is the time period during which the eye witnesses were alive. Would you be burned alive or fed to lions, willingly, for something that you were unsure of?
This, still, wouldn't prove God's existence. Even if the miracles that Jesus performed was true, this doesn't validate, say, the moral principles nor afterlife described in the Bible.
Yes, but his death, burial and resurrection do prove the afterlife described in the Bible.
Another thing to look at are the hundreds of prophecies that were in the Old Testament books about the coming of the Messiah. Jesus perfectly fulfills these. The great news is, we have the dead sea scrolls which were found very recently in history and carbon dated to 500BC. That's 500 years before Jesus came and fulfilled the prophecies contained in those scriptures.
I agree that the New Testiment was written by believers and show how he fulfilled the prophesies but there are plenty of writings by Jewish Scholars that contradict how the messiah would reveal himself one specifically mentions that The Lord would never humble himself as Jesus did, if I remember correctly. But from a current modern day viewpoint, as I've said before, the Book of Revelations prophesies coming to pass will be proof enough for me because I once considered them impossible but now I see how they can come true. As outlined in this post.
Isaiah 53 is the best example of fulfillment of the old testament.
Yes I agree.
The Jews only recognize the first 5 books of the old testiment or the Torah.
My suggestion would be to either read one of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) or at least listen to one of them being told. Here's a great performance of the Gospel of Mark (about an hour to watch the entire thing) -
Rational Proof for God(s)? Unfortunately no except the fact that this planet exists as an oasis in a galaxy where no one has proven any other life. I choose to believe in a creator because the mathematical odds of a single planet in this situation are astronomical as an anomaly however those odds of an unseen deity go down with each discovery of an inhabited planet(s) in our galaxy. And by extension.... the universe.
This post is presenting a conspiracy theory that the modern creation of crypto currencies could be the mechanism for the End Times Phrophesies in the Book of Revelations to come true.
Also that's why I was asking if anyone has any testimony if the power of moloch because after reading a bit about the god and the ancient hollo idol it's fn creepy.
