Free, Does that mean every person who is not Christian has rejected a revelation from your god? Seeking clarification. Also, sure, Muslims convert to Christianity. But, why don't you address that Christians also deconvert to atheism, and convert to other religions? No true scottsman?

It feels like you didn't read my post. I've tried. Multiple times. It never worked. So that's why I ask, why you guys, and not 5 billion others. What does does the Bible say about this act of god?

I think you fail to realize that most atheists have tried, to no avail, to look for gods. We've read the Bibles, Qu'rans, and some even the Book of Mormon. There's nothing in my life so far that is miraculous, and cannot be explained by chance or nature. I know you don't mean it, but by...

Edited Adding the word "respectfully" does not make a rude, divisive, sarcastic post respectable , reba

Blake, don't do this. It's a simple matter of questions that can be answered using the Bible. Besides, wouldn't a god like it more if a believer truly searched for answers his entire life, rather than saying "Well, I can't know this so I'll just give in to blind faith." I appreciate your...

Respectfully, Einstein didn't go to the science convention, and the say "Bam! Prove it ain't real!" The matter is that if I told you I have a cheetah-unicorn-dragon in my attic, you don't just believe it because "you have shown no evidence that" I am making it up. You are implying everything...

And who required that Jesus, and not anyone else, be sacrificed?

Blake, I would like to add: In addition to believers, this site welcomes atheists, under the assumption they'll abide by the rules. I am one of those atheists. Although I do not believe in god(s), I am here to learn perspectives, and clear contradictory or confusing ideas.

Blake, These ideas are central to your belief. It is very important to know if Jesus is god or not. For example, Islam does not believe that Jesus was a god, just another human prophet. Just try to answer this, it's more important of the questions; Is Jesus god?

Why do you think a god revealed it/himself to you? What about the countless other religions where Jesus never visits? How do we know you're not making this up? It sounds awfully like you were very emotional and disoriented. Like: 1st Peter 3:3, Matthew 5:29, Matthew 5:30? Or Matthew 5:34...

Okay. Okay. But there is only one god. If not another form, then how can there be "one" god yet three distinct members of the trinity? But only one of them is a god? Or do you call this pantheon a "god"? Why? You said Jesus is 100% god, correct? There is only one god. An all powerful...

If not polytheism, this concept is kind of confusing and self contradictory. Did Jesus sacrifice himself to God? You say Jesus is god. If that is true, then he sacrificed himself to himself? Hmm. If a man could be made with free will, with temptation and emotion, and not commit sin, what...

Hmm. But look at it this way: Jesus never really died. He is god, correct? Gods are (characterised as) immortal; they know not death. He just turned into his other god form. What is the sacrifice in that? He is being crucified for a few days, only to be reigned king of all heavens soon after. It...

Welcome. I hope for the intellectual growth of all, as well.

Lore? You don't believe OT is a real chain of events, Electricaluser?

To whom? What happened to him when he was sacrificed? What did he lose; what did he give up? I have many more questions. Thank you for the detailed answer.

I'm sorry, I'm completely lost now. It's probably just me; I'm just not understanding the wording. Can you make it easier for me?: Jesus sacrificed _____ so that ______ could happen. The reason that Jesus was needed (by god/himself (?))to be crucified is ______.

How does one sacrifice an "anomaly"? And why would a human "anomaly" sacrifice somehow require Jesus to be crucified? EDIT: spelling.

I don't know what this means. How exactly does Jesus being crucified take away the "sickness"? Why does Jesus being crucified take away the "sickness"? I have a hard time understanding. What was sacrificed, to whom was that sacrificed, and what did that sacrifice do? Definition, please. And...

Here or in a new thread? I don't know if starting discussions is allowed on the introductions. If not, a mod may move this to an appropriate section. Okay. Christians believe that a man (and god), Jesus Christ, was crucified, and it led to the payment of their sins. My question is: what...
