No, you're assuming that Jesus Christ existed, and the fact is, he didn't.There has been no evidence of him found,historically or otherwise.There were plenty of credible historians who lived in that area at that time, and they made absolutely no mention of him.Most of the artifacts that were supposedly linked to Jesus have been proven to be fake, like the Shroud of Turin, for example.Finally,it's obvious the bible was written by men, as they were men of their times equipped with the knowledge OF that time...specifically, they do NOT mention simple things a god would know,such as the world being round, the sun being the center of the solar system,comets being celestial phenomena and NOT portents of doom.The bible has been revised many times from its Latin version,and many books have been removed from it.It makes many contradictions,and attempts to use fear as a means of control.Furthermore, if the world were created in 6000 years,why is it that no mention of the dinosaurs is made,or other life forms that came before us?And if, as creationists assert, these life forms existed simultaneously with man,why are they not mentioned at all? If you hear the voice of god and you're not on hallucinogens,chances are, you're nuttier than a fruitcake.The whole assumption that god seeks people out is just a product of the need many humans have to feel special.My soul is fine.I exercise free will and critical thinking.If there is a god out there, and IT doesn't appreciate those qualities, then the hell with IT.I assert once again that any "god" one may need to seek is within.And that is personal to each individual.
On the contrary, Christianity is a product of Jesus Christ. I don't think religion is always what people have trouble dealing with; however, the dogma associated with most organized religious groups influences people in a way that draws them so far away that they refuse to accept anything tied to religion. You make some very bold claims in reference to the Bible being written by men, etc, and of course these arguements could go on for eternity. The fact is, none of us alive today were alive when those events in the Bible occured. So many anti-Christians try to use the Bible to disprove someone else's faith. In my opinion, that is the wrong approach. Don't worry about the Bible and what happened to the people mentioned in it. You should worry about your own soul, and your relationship with God. And like I mentioned before, God has to call you, you cannot go "looking" for Him.
As I said in my previous response,it makes perfect sense because there was no Jesus Christ.Christianity has borrowed rituals,holidays,dieties,and mythos from many older religions.This was to assimilate pagans into the fold more readily,and the knowledge is readily available to anyone who cares to do a little research.So yes, I assert,based on the historical and archeological evidence, Jesus is a product of Christianity, not vice versa.
And stoney that comment that Jesus Christ is a product of Christianity makes no sense. That means Christianity would have had to come before Jesus Christ.
Oh yeah there probably was a real dude of course his name wasn't JESUS but he was a bad motherfucker and spoke the Truth.
One thing that I don't understand about Christianity is that they don't listen to what Jesus said...they follow what some asshole Paul said. Remember Paul persecuted Christians for the Romans......so he probably killed them and then misled the rest of the flock.
More gabbledeygook.This is a pat faith based response."Don't question it,if you question it, you're listening to the devil!You'll never understand unless you do it EXACTLY THIS WAY!"
God is a understanding...of which will not be revealed to the intellectual mind of men...its foolish with God.
In simplicity is Christ revealed...God did put the bible together as he saw fit...but the understanding of the book is hid in Christ.
One must seek that understanding and not what satan says.
