Please see this Catholic Christian creed no virgin birth surprisingly;The Arian Catholic Creed…I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, Creator of Heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible.And in his Spiritual Son, Jesus Christ, Whom was born of Mary and Joseph, Was not consubstantial nor co-eternal with God the Father almighty, Suffered under…[Read more]

Hi brother Gene,I know it is very difficult to comment on an established religion like Christianity. You quoted Jewish historian Josephus now it is proved by the historians that the alleged quote on Jesus in his book was a Christian forgery which claimed even Josephus a hardcore Jew accepted Jesus as more than a man and true Messiah. I bring you…[Read more]

Thanks for your comments brother Gene. But I now doubt much Christianity as the writers of N.T were not honest in applying Jewish scriptures I mean our O.T as you rightly said about writer of Matthew. The same way it can be applied to any writer why not even Paul who and his followers who allegedly had written Philippians, Colossians, Ephesian and…[Read more]

Isaiah 7:14 — Virgin or Not? A center point of Christian belief is in that Mary conceived Jesus without sex. Matthew 1:22-23 states: “Now all this took place that what has spoken by the L-ord through the prophet might be fulfilled saying: 'Behold the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son and they shall call his name Immanuel, which…[Read more]

Hi brother Jerry I too like your open heartedness here. Coming to verses you quoted from Matthew and Hebrews I agree but there are plenty of verses to prove that election and predestination are true from N.T. Here are such verses;”For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14 ESV). “And if those days had not been cut short, no human being…[Read more]

Hi brother Pierre, do you think I have not been drawn by God? you think I am damned to Hell?The fate of Christianity is everyone thinks others are unbelievers except him.

Hi brother Jerry,Greetings to you after a long time. I hope things are well on your side. Your posts are wonderful. I appreciate if God is the saviour of all as you quoted above. But the problem of our Bible is it contradicts itself by stating only few are chosen. Those who are in the plan of God are only being saved. I wonder whether Christianity…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 16 2010,02:24)Quote (t8 @ Nov. 15 2010,18:21)Is this topic still being debated.Gene. Your doctrine makes it silly to even argue against people who believe in free will because according to your doctrine, they are not freely choosing to do so. So do you believe your own doctrine? If so, why do you persist in trying to…[Read more]

Hi brother Gene,I don't think Lazarus was the beloved disciple as the beloved disciple never quoted his name but Lazarus name was mentioned by him as a third person. Even John is doubtful as you rightly quoted above according to John 21 where sons of Zebedee mentioned by the beloved disciple separately along with Peter. Since John was one of the…[Read more]
