This guy said the same thing, thought it worth keeping:


Christians don't believe there are contradictions in the bible.

Why?

Because it's not written in the bible that there are any.

When all is said and done, your little Jesus character is nothing but a
comforting story you tell yourself, a fairy tale handed down through the
generations. The Jesus of your imagination never existed.

Of course it matters. What kind of fool would think otherwise? And if it
"matters nothing" then why the **** are you wasting your life vainly
attempting to defend it?

If the principle stands regardless, then you have no need for your Jesus
mythology or any of the other trappings of religion. In fact, they can
only distort and diminish the act of loving and caring--as you have
demonstrated here countless times.

Only "without" YOUR god or devil, which appears to be "evidence". Our
Christian "God IS love", as evidenced by anyone willing to die a most cruel
death for others, who in no way deserve such a sacrifice. See below

Pastor Frank

Jesus in Jn:13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Jesus in Jn:13:35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
Jesus in Jn:15:12-13: This is my commandment: That ye love one another,
as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
Jesus in John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command..."

Frank you didn't say anything that made sense, but you've repeated it
again and again. Learn what evidence is and learn that love is an
emotion, not a god.

Damn! I missed that. Let him define "Love". He'd probably say "Love is
god" and be the snake that bites itself in the tail. Probably mumble
about some "ideal" that his "god" is... Then some more mumble that JC is
this ideal....

In the end it is "mumblemumble"

It is his cute 'get out' because he knows he cannot refute the many arguments
against gods,
so he falls back on his 'god is love' scheme.

It fails to impress and it gets rather boring

so 'love' begats a son who comes down to earth and dies a cruel death during
which he raises his eyes skywards and cries out "Father Father why hast thou
forsaken me"

Frank, are you a charlatan. Did 'He' say those words or not?

YES or NO?

Charlatan, YOU COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT ANSWER.

Well stay with your arse backed up into a corner

Because that is where you deserve to stay.

I will be taking a well deserved Frank holiday from now on

and will concenate on having dialigues with those who do not appear to be
downright and sickenly dishonest

"God is love" - indeed

The only god you love Frank .........is Frank

Thanks for screeching flames for atheism. This will surely drive people
into the ever loving and caring arms of Jesus. Praise God!!!!!

You forgot to supply the evidence. But it matters nothing, the
principles Christ represent stand regardless. It's all matter of believing
and having faith in something and someone greater than yourself, and about
living up to this glorious ideal of perfection that is God. See below

Pastor Frank

Jesus in Matthew. 5:48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.

Love is evidenced by loving and caring action, regardless of "emotion".
Christ giving His blameless life for sinners who don't deserve to be loved,
is this evidence and the very essence of our Christian God.

That's because it's not about YOUR god or devil which is that ubiquitous
invisible ogre in the sky, behind them thar clouds, with which they
frightened you as a small child to get you to behave.

Then you have no need for Christ or all the other trappings of religion,
do you? And neither does anyone else. The only reason you worship that
cartoon character is because you've been conditioned to by an industry
whose longevity and reach makes McDonalds look like a piker in diapers.

Don't you know that?

Sorry, little fella, but I prefer to reserve my "believing and having
faith in something or someone" for things or people that actually exist.
Worshipping that which doesn't exist--that's called "marketing"...

You tell that story, but have no evidence that this is true.

Sure they do. You have terribly hateful attitude toward human beings if
you think they don't deserve to be loved.

>is this evidence and the very essence of our Christian God.


It is the essense of your hateful doctrines to call hatred love.

More downers? Jesus being a "cartoon character" indeed!!!! So you made
your choice then? You complain in every post, and complaining, trashing and
flaming is the activity of those in hell, whereas the friends of God would
rather support, praise, glorify and worship, which makes for heaven.

So you prefer to believe and have faith in Joe Sixpack down the road,
because he exists? We would rather believe and have faith in the perfection
which is Christ Jesus, and spend our lives aiming to emulate Him, if you
don't mind.
Btw our Great Commission tells us to "market" those perfections in order
to advance Christ's Kingdom of Heaven. Whereas atheism cannot but market
hell.

Glad you think you are able to love your enemies and those who crucify
you. If that's true, you are indeed a friend of God. Or were you lying?

There is no evidence that any gods exist. That does not mean that none
of Jesus' teachings are worthwhile.

We all agree with you, that gods of atheist definition do indeed not
exist. However, our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully
manifested in Jesus Christ giving His life for us sinners on the cross of
Calvary. We therefore know our God and have seen Him. (Jesus in John
14:6-10)
Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in
John 3:3)
