6/21/2014 11:01:44 PM Posted: 3 years ago If the atheists, if our enemies are not impressed nor intimidated, why admire a mediocre apologist?
I say let atheism gain the higher ground. Maybe Jesus will panic and accidentally rescue the Church prematurely. |

6/22/2014 1:01:32 AM Posted: 3 years ago First off, if you think Jesus will suddenly panic then you have not read or do not understand scripture. The only panic ever felt by Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane. Also, Jesus has never done something on accident. This is quite honestly an ignorant post. As for if this is a troll post, say so beforehand or it may be seen as ignorant.

6/22/2014 1:57:45 AM Posted: 3 years ago Mark 14:32-42
New King James Version The Prayer in the Garden 32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch." 35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will." 37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. 40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him. 41 Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand." Also: Luke 22:44 King James Bible 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. |

Any rational person could come up with a few reasons why your objection is completely meaningless. 1. God was there 2. It is an account of 3 hours worth. Clearly it is not a second by second recording. 3. When Jesus turns around the disciples don't pass out to sleep. They probably over heard at least the first few sentences of the prayer. 4. When Jesus returns 3 times he could convey to them what he was praying. 5. They are a group of people that in and out of sleep could among themselves reconstruct the first part of Jesus's prayer. Your objection only holds water if people go to sleep like they are knocked on the head. Only if Jesus ONLY ever says what is written and nothing more. If human behavior is completely different in this scenario than it is in every other case. |

I'd stack those guys against CS Lewis any day, the comparison, just in terms of honesty alone, would be compelling. |

It is very much the point, the point that you are to afraid to address, as that is the road to hell. The reason you think god inspired Paul to write his little stories is because Paul told you he did. Now that is some convincing evidence. Why didn't god inspire Paul to write "the book that will be cannonized in 300yrs by a council is inspired of god" Because his statement makes the gospel of Mary Magdalen inspired of god and all of the writings from that time. Why did god inspire Martin Luther to reject some scripture that Paul declared inspired of god? |
