Fulfilled prophecy, miracles, the Bibles impossible consistency, exorcisms, His story in the stars, the shroud of Turin, and much more - nothing else comes close to Christianity.

Jesus died, for our sins. We are human we sin. The miracle in my life, the part I play is this. I receive Gods grace and I remain willing to act. I keep it simple. 1)...I trust God I clean my house to hear Gods will I carry that message to others.
I pick up my broom and sweep away the self that keeps me from the light. Thy will not mine be done .

Very nice to Mr. Lenox speaking about merit in relation to religion. A solid take on the love of God.
Thank you for posting this.

I agree with John, salvation does not depend on merit. It depends on intent, if one attempts to get to know God (via their indwelling Thought Adjuster), they will succeed.

Nonsense. The synoptic gospels were written anonymously and in Greek. The first gospel Mark was copied sometimes word for word by the other gospels. We don’t have any originals and the gospels were copied and changed many times.

There is no credible proof of any god anywhere at any time.

GOD IS IPSUM ESSE SUBSISTENS

THE ESSENCE OF GOD

The Five Ways not only prove the existence of God, but give us some glimpses of the essnce or nature of God. There are two question we can ask about anything, one about its exixtence a nd another about its essence or nature. So with God, we have first seen the question about His existence, and now we proceed to investigate how much we can know about His nature.
From all that we have been discussing all along, we can say right from the start that we can even give a difinition can be. Of course, a difinition of God can never be perfect for us, i. e. inexpressible. because He is incomprehensible, as we said.
Nevertheless, we can say something which is strictly true, however incomprehensible it mar be, about His essence, and this is that He is the fullnessbof being, subsistent being itself, ipsum esse subsistens: the source of all being, the being by essence as distinct from the being by participation. This is truly His definition: that He is. For all other being, "to be" is the act of their essence; for God, "to be" is His very essence.
There is a correlation of this in divine revelation, when in Exodus 3:14 God gives His name to Moses as I AM WHO AM and HE WHO IS, which St. Thomas understood precisely as we have noted, and called it "this sublime truth" (haec sublimis veritas).


Red and reflect from my poor knowledge.

God bless us all!!♥♥♥ all!!

Only one name is used as a cuss word around the world. Jesus Christ. That alone tells us who the one and only true God is.

It’s ironic that he looks like Buddha.

Jesus was made Christ. One of the most misunderstood figures in history. Jesus was a Jewish mystical rabbi. In the modern tongue, he was a mystical spiritual guru influenced by the Qumran–Essene community.

The Creator isn't "he" or Creator is beyond our description and definitely doesn't have human form.

"The one true God..." how arrogant can you get? No one owns God. Each monotheistic religion attempts to understand God. Much of what's in the Bible are anthropomorphic versions of gods. All prayers get routed to the same deity. Jesus actually addressed this prior to his public ministry:
134:4.3 (1486.6) If different religions recognize the spirit sovereignty of God the Father, then will all such religions remain at peace. *Only when one religion assumes that it is in some way superior to all others, and that it possesses exclusive authority over other religions, will such a religion presume to be intolerant of other religions or dare to persecute other religious believers.*
134:4.4 (1487.1) Religious peace — brotherhood — can never exist unless all religions are willing to completely divest themselves of all ecclesiastical authority and fully surrender all concept of spiritual sovereignty. God alone is spirit sovereign.
134:4.5 (1487.2) You cannot have equality among religions (religious liberty) without having religious wars unless all religions consent to the transfer of all religious sovereignty to some superhuman level, to God himself.
134:4.6 (1487.3) The kingdom of heaven in the hearts of men will create religious unity (not necessarily uniformity) because any and all religious groups composed of such religious believers will be free from all notions of ecclesiastical authority — religious sovereignty.

That being said, I love John very much.

On the resurrection of Jesus: yes, he died on the cross. The Roman spear in his side ensured that he did.
Did he come back in the same body? Well, given that he could enter a locked room without knocking to be let in, his new body seems to not be entirely physical, doesn't it? We're told in a divine revelation that he was in a morontia body and that his physical one was destroyed by the angels, who didn't want to have to endure watching it decompose. So, they accelerated time and made it decompose in an instant (IMHO producing the Shroud of Turin in the process).
Jesus never told his followers that to be saved, they had to believe in him being raised, let alone in the same body he died in. The apostles simply assumed that because Lazarus was in his old body, Jesus would be too. Jesus told his followers that to be saved, they had to accept God as their father, and to get to know God, and attempt to be like him (more perfect than they currently were).

Unfortunately, Dr. Lennox has not cited any reason why someone should believe in Christianity rather than in other religions. He has merely explained that he favors Christianity because it is much easier. Unquestionably, 95% of youths would choose a university that gives out degrees w/o having to pass exams or do research projects, over universities that do have these requirements -- but that would not indicate it is a better university, merely that it makes life easier for its students. Similarly, he has chosen Christianity because it is not as demanding as Judaism, not because he has evidence it is the true religion.

A true professor as the bible talks about, show the kids some exorcisms, there should be a professor doing them in every uni, get a lot done for lord God then.If there are demons there is god, show them great professor, I will give you all my prayer's to lift the scales from there eye's, save as many as you can.John Safran vs God. works for me, with atheist's. Plus evolution was proved math impossible in 2000.Keep up the good fight against evil my faithful friend.
Jesus proves death is your gift, from god, at least for us Christians.Gifts are free.you just have to accept it.
Lord God Bless.

As someone who would like to believe, it’s frustrating that a figure that is held up as one of the best apologists in the field would bring so weak an argument for reasonable belief.
