“The work of God”?

You've heard of Chinese whispers i take it?

As others above have stated, there are "Christian" stories, persecution, death, reborn etc etc from every corner of this planet that pre-date Jesus and the Bible by hundreds of if not thousands of years.

Every culture has the same. Every. Culture.

What makes you think yours is the best?
None of that means a specific one isn’t true.

I have said why several times on this thread to be fair mate.

There’s a number of reasons.
 
So we have a timeline and you pick one near the end that has amalgamated the best bits from the others?

And this seems plausible to you?
I don’t think that happened at all.

Christianity is different than nearly all others as it’s one of the few where God comes down to live among us to take our debts.

The vast majority of others we need to behave in a way that grants salvation.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true, I’m just saying it does have significant differences.
 
God created the Earth.

He created man, seemingly a day after he created everything else that roamed the planets.

Except for dinosaurs and all of those other extinct beings that existed hundreds of millions of years prior to our existence.

Jesus was put on this Earth about 2020 years ago, not 4000 years ago, or 10,000 years ago. Just randomly 2020 years ago. Though, this might be because he only created the earth thousands of years ago, and everything prior is a myth or can be explained away by other means.

In addition, a man parted the seas, the whole world flooded but every animal known to man managed to fit, live in harmony, and survive on a wooden boat. A woman was created from a rib of a man and they produced the whole human race (6 fingered Tommy, anyone?). Add to all of that, a talking, burning bush and I’m finding it a strange, strange concept that people can doctor faith in the modern age from these.

If it doesn’t fit the narrative though, it can be explained away through the mystery of ‘faith’.
 
I agree with what you said. It was just to the point in open debate, you can attribute more wrong doing to the religious motive than you can without. The catholic church has a far worse record of child abuse than any celebrity or elite group for instance. They are now historical fact's, but they get less attention. if you see my point. im not saying you are wrong btw.

And child abusers maybe more inclined to pick teaching, the scouts or being care workers but it doesn’t mean a granny knot is responsible for pedophillia
 
This is what I was trying to say mate but you’ve condensed it and said it better.
Glad to see you are standing up for your faith. It takes true grit.
I certainly believe in God and that Jesus was put on this earth to show us the way.
Nobody on this thread has produced any coherent argument to prove it is not true. If they could come up with a better reason as to why people would die for a cause they KNOW to be a lie then they might tweak my amusement.
But thats unlikely.
