Why does it not? Do you think a Creator would flee after He created?

Part of it. Hard to be happy when there is no peace. Hard to have peace if you are unhappy.

Ah so you agree with my sarcasm. I figured you looked down on the Jews.

Quote (Son of Light @ Jan. 09 2008,13:43)Tow,Look at it like this.  You are a deist who sees within the OT the only possible revealing of God.  You then erase from the record as being accurate the weak and human nature of this God as described by men.This is the God described by Jesus.  God is not a despot like Zeus.  Jesus agreed.  He foll…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 09 2008,13:43)Hi tow,Does the meekness of Christ offend you? Would you have followed a strong political leader?You're deflecting. Whether or not he was meek, your GT says he was quite famous. History says otherwise.

Those poor Jews. They were such poor soil for 4000 years.

Believe in a Creator kinda leads you there. Where do you think G-d resides, New Jersey?

So only Christians have peace? Strange, I know of many unhappy Christians and some joyful atheists. Wonder what that is all about?

How do you know he lives in heaven, because of what is written about him? That's circular reasoning.

Hey, that was one of your better ones. Wrong, but still a good one.

With me, it is easier to ask what I don't believe about Tanakh. With you SOL, it seems the list would be shorter on what you do believe about the GT.

Haha, seems you believe less about the GT than I do about Tanakh! I disbelieve that a loving creator would inspire genocide while you think it was because YHVH was an evil angel. I disbelieve many miracles because we have no proof of such. If people were still performing miracles that would be different but it seems that miracles only take place…[Read more]

Jesus was not an Essene. He was far from esoteric.Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

So it seems that John was more important than Jesus in that day. Imagine that.

So? If kings heard of Jesus then he must have been pretty famous right? Not famous enough for historians it seems though.Did you know that Josephus had more to say about John the Baptist than Jesus?

Philo lived and wrote while Jesus was alive. Why did he not write a single word of this famous Jesus?
