“The work of God”?

[Ban-jani]

9 months ago, in this same thread, you were replying against my posts. Do you want to have a look at some of what you said ? :)

I was blind, ignorant and wrong.

Maximalists won the argument in the 20th century, minimalists are in the minority and it’s a small minority.

Who are the maximalists you speak of?

 

[Ban-jani]

nice soundbite but can you prove it

How can I prove an infinite being outside of space and time?

There is evidence and it’s eyewitnesses at the resurrection.

I am indeed free to go, as was I always with or without a promissory note. However I'm sadly out of debate because my own omnipresent one has just said verily unto me that if her boxing day dinner is not ready to serve at the half time mark then I may have to wank away in the wilderness for forty days and nights. Last nights left over chicken is now carved, the petit pois and carrots are bowled up, the Yorkshires are in the oven and the mash pellets are buttered milked and done to perfection. Just needs microwaving and the all important'e Bisto-Best adding at 20.45 and bobs yer uncle.
Happy are those called to this supper : /

You mean boxing day tea right?

Who are the maximalists you speak of?

Scholars.

The maximalist scholars believe that the story is close to the life of Jesus, but they don’t necessarily believe the miracles and the divine. Basically he existed, claimed to be the Son of God, went around teaching and was crucified for blasphemy.

The minimalists either say he didn’t exist historically or that he did but none of the story is really true.

The former won the argument as soon as a Roman, before the time Christianity became their religion, described the first Christians as a religious group founded upon a man called Jesus, who was crucified in Jerusalem for blasphemy.

They found an independent 3rd party source from very early in Christian belief.

There was also a minority of scholars, saying Pontius Pilate didn’t exist either, then they found a first century coin with his name on it.

Every new bit of evidence found suggests that the Gospels were a biography, and whilst that doesn’t mean the divine, it means that locals were describing what they saw and thought.

i'm interested in how you know?

I cannot know for absolute certainty where anyone is but we know how Hitler behaved in his last moments and what he did.

Here we go with two half time prepped meals for our boxing day feast. You have to use your imagination as the mash pellets arn't in place yet and neither is the lashings of piping hot Bisto-Best.

I think this cheffing bollocks gets far too much promotion by the TV luvvies and press because all it's really about is organizational skill-sets and timing which I learnt in the military.

Ready for the mash, microwave and Hot Gravy

Pellet mash with added Flora. Thirty seconds remaining.

As a lad i would always leave my mash til last. Then i would spread it out into a flat rectangle before lightly marking out a grid of squares on it with my knife. I would then cut and eat each 'pellet' individually.

This was written 1000 years before Christ was born:

Was it Boris?

Was it Boris?

No mention of a dodgy haircut
