How is a proven fact an extreme view? Also, humans aren’t descended from apes, we share a common ancestor.
Do apes digest fruit’s differently? The consequences were less severe on them.

Something should make you ask why your friends all prefer to burn in hell rather than follow your lead?

Anything is superior to biblical creationism.A more serious and fun debate would be evolutionism vs panspermia, for example.
The choice between being descendants of apes to losing immortality for eating a fruit are both extreme views.

Best.Korea:I wouldnt want to be in heaven if my friends are in hell.
Reply:You are known by the company you keep.
Best.Korea: I wouldnt feel good in heaven knowing that my friends are burning in hell.
Reply: That is your guilt taking over for deserting your friends.
Best.Korea:Only a person with no empathy could enjoy while others are burning.
Reply: it is easier to enjoy when you are not burning.
Best.Korea: This simply proves Christianity to be false beyond a reasonable doubt.
Reply: Christianity did not sent them to hell. Their actions did.
Best.Korea:There is no way to disagree with this.
Reply: it is better not to be burning in hell, even you cannot disagree.
Best.Korea: You are either a psychopath who can live in peace knowing that many people are burning alive, either you will constantly feel bad in heaven which then turns heaven into hell.
Reply: Heaven is far separated from hell. You won’t feel the burning heat or see their pain.
Best.Korea: Or God will make you forget about hell, which makes you a mindless sheep.
Reply: you will thank God for saving you from hell, even if you are a mindless sheep.
Best.Korea:There is no way out of this one.
Reply: not if you want to join your friends.

What did God do to Jesus for him to blame God?
Matthew 27:46
About three o'clock, Jesus shouted, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Objective facts are foundational.No, they're not. We're talking now about epistemology, which literally translates into "the study of knowledge". An objective fact in this context has to be accepted as such, which requires a mental process to get to that point. That process is what epistemology is, that's what we're discussing.In other words, foundational premises are the very ground we stand on before we can accept anything as an objective fact. So no, objective facts are not foundational.
Epistemology is not a process to determine what is subjective or objective. It is a study of what we know or don’t know.
Objective facts are built on facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, ...and therefore foundational.

Well, I don't struggle.
Is it because the case of the Historical Jesus was written in a way that was easily digestible?
And in the truest definition of the word, I am atheist.Though I might loosely be regarded as having some deistic type data on board. But not in the magical mystery man sense of the word.
By not confusing your deistic type data with the magical mystery man sense of the word. You will have less unknowns in your life or profile.
As for the character popularly referred to as Jesus, I think that I have already stated to you that I think it highly likely to have been based upon a real human being. But was he the son of a GOD that raped a virgin, I doubt it very much. Hence, we have tales of mystery men, embellished with misogynistic fantasy. In short, a mythology.
Thank you for admitting on this thread you accept the Historical Jesus did exist.
The Bible does not say the Historical Jesus raped a virgin. In fact there is no mention of Jesus in any intimate relationship with women. The son of God is in the Bible. You are propagating the myth Jesus raped a virgin. So yes there are others like you who spread this mythology.
Ascension into modernity is certainly a dramatic turn of phrase, but only really means spreading and becoming popular relative to intellectual and social development. Though I'm not sure how well misogyny and rape ascend into Western modernity. But I suppose if you drum this stuff into children's heads soon enough, they will grow up accepting it as acceptable.
Jesus’s ascension into modernity was dramatic and 2 billion Christians will attest to that. True his ascension into modernity would not have been possible without means of spreading and becoming popular relative to intellectual and social development.
Misogyny and rape ascended into western culture independently so did millions of bastards till abortions put a check on its growth. But with th3 Supreme Court abolishing abortions they (bastards) will grow up accepting it as acceptable.
Nonetheless, people are still searching for something that cannot be found, and so are still heavily reliant upon fantasy hypotheses.
But if they were looking for the historical Jesus instead of still heavily reliant upon fantasy hypotheses, they would have found him as easily as you did by just reading the case for the Historical Jesus.

Let’s take a look at the claims made in post#512 and separate truth from fiction.
Claim: Mithras was born of a virgin on December 25th, in a cave, attended by shepherds
Truth: Mithras was actually born out of solid rock, leaving a hole in the side of a mountain (presumably described as a “cave”). He was not born of a virgin (unless you consider the rock mountain to have been a virgin). His birth was celebrated on December 25th, but the first Christians knew this was not the true date of Christ’s birth anyway, and both Mithraic worshippers and the early Roman Church borrowed this celebration from earlier winter solstice celebrations. Shepherds are part of Mithraism, witnessing his birth and helping Mithras emerge from the rock, but interestingly, the shepherds exist in the birth chronology at a time when humans are not supposed to have been yet born. This, coupled with the fact the earliest version of this part of the Mithraic mythology emerges one hundred years after the appearance of the New Testament, infers it is far more likely this portion of Mithraism was borrowed from Christianity rather than the other way around.
Claim: Mithras was considered a great traveling teacher and master
Truth: There is nothing in the Mithraic tradition indicating he was a teacher of any kind, but he was could have been considered a master of sorts. This would not be unexpected of any deity, however. Most mythologies describe their gods in this way.
Claim: Mithras had 12 companions or disciples
Truth: There is no evidence for any of this in the traditions of Iran or Rome. It is possible the idea Mithras had 12 disciples is simply derived from murals in which Mithras is surrounded by twelve signs and personages of the Zodiac (two of whom are the moon and the sun). Even this imagery is post Christian, and, therefore, did not contribute to the imagery of Christianity (although it could certainly have borrowed from Christianity).
Claim: Mithras promised his followers immortality
Truth: While there is little evidence for this, it is certainly reasonable to think Mithras might have offered immortality, as this is not uncommon for any God of mythology.
Claim: Mithras performed miracles
Truth: Of course this is true, as this too was not uncommon for mythological characters.
Claim: Mithras sacrificed himself for world peace
Truth: There is little or no evidence this is true, although there is a story about Mithras slaying a threatening bull in a heroic deed. But that’s about as close as it gets.
Claim: Mithras was buried in a tomb and after three days rose again, and Mithras was celebrated each year at the time of His resurrection (later to become Easter)
Truth: There is nothing in the Mithraic tradition indicating he ever even died, let alone resurrected. Tertullian did write about Mithraic believers re-enacting resurrection scenes, but he wrote about this occurring well after New Testament times. Christianity could not, therefore, have borrowed from Mithraic traditions, but the opposite could certainly be true.
Claim: Mithras was called “the Good Shepherd”, and was identified with both the Lamb and the Lion
Truth: There is no evidence that Mithras was ever called “the Good Shepherd” or identified with a lamb, but since Mithras was a sun-god, there was an association with Leo (the House of the Sun in Babylonian astrology), so one might say he was associated with a Lion. But once again, all of this evidence is actually post New Testament; Mithraic believers may once again have borrowed this attribute from Christianity.
Claim: Mithras was considered to be the “Way, the Truth and the Light,” and the “Logos,” “Redeemer,” “Savior” and “Messiah.”
Truth: Based on the researched and known historic record of the Mithraic traditions, none of these terms has ever been applied to Mithras with the exception of “mediator”. But this term was used in a very different from how Christians used the term. Mithras was not the mediator between God and man but the mediator between the good and evil gods of Zoroaster.
Claim: Mithraic believers celebrated Sunday as Mithras’ sacred day (also known as the “Lord’s Day,”)
Truth: This tradition of celebrating Sunday is only true of Mithraic believers in Rome and it is a tradition that dates to post Christian times. Once again, it is more likely to have been borrowed from Christianity than the other way around.
Claim: Mithraic believers celebrated a Eucharist or “Lord’s Supper”
Truth: Followers of Mithras did not celebrate a Eucharist, but they did celebrate a fellowship meal regularly, just as did many other groups in the Roman world.
From this quick examination of the Mithraic comparisons, it should be obvious Mithras isn’t much like Jesus after all. It’s not unusual for the characteristics of ancient pre-Christian deities to be exaggerated in an effort to make them sound like Jesus. The first step in refuting such claims is to simply investigate the attributes carefully. Beyond this, we must also recognize the expectations and yearnings people have related to the existence of God. The Bible rightly describes this yearning and the innate knowledge each of us has related to God’s existence (Romans 1:18-20 and 2:12-16). We shouldn’t be surprised ancient people (created in the image of God) would think deeply about the nature of this God. Many alleged similarities between pre-Christian mythologies and Jesus are extremely general in nature and would be expected from anyone considering the existence of a Divine Creator. Primitive cultures interested in God’s nature reasoned He would have the ability to perform miracles, teach humans and form disciples. These universal expectations fail to invalidate the historicity of Jesus. As Paul recognized on Mars Hill (Acts 17:22-31), men thought deeply about the nature of God prior to His arrival as Jesus. Sometimes they imagined the details correctly, sometimes they didn’t.
The pagan cult Mithraism was replaced by Christianity. Iran today is a Muslim country. No mention of this cult in India or China.

BrotherD.Thomas posted.Stephen,YOUR REVEALING QUOTE: " Conceived out of wedlock, should say it all."Good call! I forgot this fact that Mary was NOT married to Joseph at the time of Jesus' birth, of which makes the situation even a greater loss in the respect since Joseph was not involved in Jesus' birth, then Jesus was not born through the “fruit of the loins” from the House of David as a requirement for Jesus to be the Messiah because Mary was blood of the Levite family, whoops! Therefore, the messianic prophecies in the gospels are NOT fulfilled by Jesus, and therefore fall flat upon their face!Damn biblical axioms are a pain in the ass when trying to defend Jesus in what He is supposed to represent. :(
Read your bible you you foul mouthed pervert.
Joseph had already pledged to marry Mary and even thought of divorcing her when he heard she was pregnant.
Joseph accepts Jesus as his son.
Matthew 1:16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.
Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g] (which means “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

--> @BrotherD.ThomasJESUS IS A BASTARD!When Jesus is God as shown within the Bible, then in the virgin birth scenario, Jesus spiritually “celestially impregnated” his own mother Mary through godly incest. When Jesus did this act, He not only became Mary’s son, but his own Father as being Yahweh/God incarnate, and a bastard child through true Hebrew tradition as being a mazer because Joseph was not the paternal father. :(👍Stephen wrote: Conceived out of wedlock, should say it all.

Regarding your perceived notion of the Ark contradiction, I have explained this many times where I was testing the threads members, but yet you hang on to this situation as if you have a "gotcha!" against me, where compared to the following embarrassing and bible ignorant posts of yours shown below, CONVERSELY YOU ARE LAUGHABLE TO THE CORE! LOL!

BrotherD.You have been suspended 9 times from DebateArt. The only reason you are here is to attack Jesus and women.
Why?
Look at your misshapen mouth. It was caused by men who were attracted to your perversions.

BrotherD.Thomas posted.resends,YOUR REVEALING QUOTE THAT PROVES MY POINT: "According to Jewish law, Jesus would not be a mamzer unless it could be proven that his father was another Jewish man."The father in this case, was Jesus being a Jew impregnating His own mother Mary through "spiritual celestial impregnation incest." as being His own Father as I have shown in my post #489.
You are mentally unstable BrotherD. to claim Jesus is his own father because he impregnated his mother Mary.
That is not how human biology works. Mary conceived Jesus but was impregnated by her own fetus.

BrotherD.Thomas posted.OMG, JESUS WAS A PERVERT!When Jesus becomes the Hebrew serial killer Yahweh God incarnate (1 Corinthians 10:1-4), then we must question Jesus in the following passage where He will discover women's secret parts!!!
So you don’t know When Jesus becomes the Hebrew serial killer Yahweh God incarnate?
You are hardly an expert on women’s secret parts. You preach to males to get them to give you a BJ. That is why your mouth is so misshapen.
The Lord says "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the lord will discover their secret parts." (Isiah 3:16-17)
Learn to read. No mention of women’s secret parts in Isaiah 3:16-17.You are trying to turn the Bible into a blasphemous joke.
Isaiah 3:16 The Lord says,
“The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
The lord in this case in the passage above, is Jesus: "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
That is very different from what you declared.
BrotherD., in your own words, “ I am NOT blaspheming Jesus because I have described Jesus' true historical modus operandi within the scriptures in Jesus being Yahweh God incarnate, of which you are obviously unaware of because of your complete Bible stupidity! Our Jesus we worship, as the Serial Killer Yahweh God incarnate, was embarrassingly, greedy, jealous, selfish, self-centered, petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capricious, and malevolent!
Now try to justify your blasphemous claims against Jesus.
BrotherD., You have only finished high school and your career highest income is less than 20,000$? You are 56 years old. Learn to show respect.
Why would Jesus be pruned to discover a woman's "Secret Parts?" Do you think it was because he hung around all the time with His 12 disciple men and needed a different view, no pun intended. Biblical narratives like this really test my faith at times, does the pseudo-christian crowd feel the same in having our Jesus looked upon as a blatant PERVERT?

BrotherD.Thomas posted.JESUS WILL "BEAT YOU!" OUCH!All I can say is thank Jesus, as God, in that we didn't live in the days of His lifetime, whew! This is because Jesus would have BEATEN US if we broke His statutes and His commandments, which shows once again that Jesus was not all forgiving. :(JESUS SAID: "If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.,but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness" (Psalm 89:31-2)
Jesus did not write Psalms 89. Jesus never wrote anything in his lifetime. He once scribbled something in the sand. That is about it!!
The superscription of the psalm states that it was written by Ethan the Ezrahite, who, along with Heman the Ezrahite (to whom Psalm 88 is attributed), was a wise man from the time of, or prior to, King Solomon. 1 Kings 4:31 states that Solomon "was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations" (ESV).
If we were beaten by Jesus back in His time period, I am sure He would follow this inspired passage of His shown below:"But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more." (Luke 12:48)
During Jesus’s time you would have been stoned for blasphemy. There was no Luke during Jesus’s time either. The Gospels were written decades after Jesus died.

Stephen wrote: “Says the clown that doesn't know his Ark from his own arse. ”
With this passage alone shown below, if Shila and Miss Tradesecret had lived in Jesus' time period, they would be beaten by Jesus because of their outright Bible stupidity, praise Jesus' revenge!"Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and beating for the backs of fools." (Proverbs 19:29).
Proverbs was written by Solomon. There is no account in the Bible of Jesus ever beating a woman.

Stephen wrote: “Says the clown that doesn't know his Ark from his own arse. ”
True Christians like myself have to accept that Jesus had a revengeful modus operandi in BEATING His followers, therefore not forgiving them whatsoever as some pseudo-christians think He does! :(

BrotherD.Thomas posted.JESUS IS A BASTARD!When Jesus is God as shown within the Bible, then in the virgin birth scenario, Jesus spiritually “celestially impregnated” his own mother Mary through godly incest. When Jesus did this act, He not only became Mary’s son, but his own Father as being Yahweh/God incarnate, and a bastard child through true Hebrew tradition as being a mazer because Joseph was not the paternal father. :(
The Bible tells us it was the threesome that produced Jesus. The Holy Spirit, the Most High and Mary the virgin. Why don’t you read your Bible before posting here?
Luke 1:28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
In the Hebrew Bible and Jewish religious law, a mamzer (Hebrew: ממזר, lit. , "estranged person"; plural mamzerim) is a person who is born as the result of certain forbidden relationships or incest (as it is defined by the Bible), or the descendant of such a person.As if the aforementioned biblical facts about Jesus wasn’t bizarre enough, then by Joseph not being the paternal father to Jesus, but only a step-father, then when Jesus was in the act of celestially impregnating his mother Mary through spiritual incest, where poor ol’ Joseph may have heard Mary shouting; "oh GOD, oh GOD," but little did Joseph know at the time how apropos this statement was in a spiritual sex a act between Jesus and His own mother Mary. :(
Your link does not show any spiritual sex act between Jesus and his own mother Mary. Neither does the Bible speak of such an act.
You are a pervert and your post confirms it.
Furthermore, poor Jesus in being a bastard could not enter a Hebrew church, even to the tenth generation because of the following biblical axiom:“No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 23:2)Therefore Jesus went against His own words as being God in Deuteronomy 23:1 shown above, when He did this act shown below of entering His own temple as being the Father, bad Jesus, tsk, tsk:“When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” (John 2: 13-17)
John explains why Jesus drove out the people in the temple courts where he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
You quote John but offer a totally ridiculous explanation than what John offered.

A logic zombie is someone who blindly follows logic no matter how ridiculous the conclusions may be.For example, you can't just blindly follow logic into idiotic beliefs like determinism and solipsism. These are obviously intellectual black holes with no utilitarian value whatsoever.A logic zombie is just a person who can't face reality and who won't be honest with themselves.A logic zombie is someone who never takes personal responsibility for their actions and instead blames logic for their moronic and misguided attacks on well established and incontrovertible truth.You can't depend on logic for everything. People know deep down what is right and what is wrong. You know the truth. You just need the courage to face the facts.
Is that why you lost 3 of your 3 debates? Your logic was lower than a zombie or totally absent like it is here.

@BrotherD.Thomas
Shila, who tries in vain to rewrite the Bible to the way she wants it to be,1. YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE #1: “Jesus is called a mediator not God in (1 Timothy 2:5)In your grasping for straws quote above to try and save face because of your complete Bible stupidity, the entire passages reads: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) “Timothy states with specificity that there is ONE GOD, the man Christ Jesus, get it Bible fool? YOU FAIL AGAIN!
Lean to read scriptures.
There is one God and one mediator between God and me , the man Christ Jesus.
Jesus is not called God, jesus is the man called Christ Jesus who is the mediator.
2. YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE #2: “No mention of Jesus. Elijah was praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.”HELLO? Who is the God of Abraham, JESUS you dumb ass Bible fool!
Nowhere did jesus say he was the God of Abraham. He claimed before Abraham he was, and so was Adam and a generation of others came before Abraham.
Read Timothy again.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) “
Jesus is the man and mediator between God and men.
Jesus refers to Himself before the Jews using the same name that He gave Moses at the burning bush. "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I AM!” (John 8:58 ) GET IT? Jesus was the God of the Old Testament, HELLO?!
Nowhere did jesus say he was the God of Abraham. He claimed before Abraham he was, and so was Adam and a generation of others came before Abraham.
Read Timothy again.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) “
Jesus is the man and mediator between God and men.
3. YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE #3: “Peter also lied about Jesus 3 times.”Where you get the authority to say that the following passage by Peter pertaining to Jesus as God is a lie!“Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours.”
The story of Peter’s denial appears in all four canonical gospels,
Mark 14:66
Matthew 26:69-70
Matthew 26:71-72
Luke 22:59
Matthew 26:73
Matthew 26:75
Mark 24:72.
4. YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE #4: “No mention of Jesus in Hosea (9:11-16). Elijah was praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.”There is only ONE GOD; "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) Therefore Jesus is this ONE GOD! I have already schooled you upon this topic, remember dear? Therefore, Jesus is the one god in the book of Hosea 9:11-16 that miscarried the wombs of the women of Ephraim and aborted babies, and would MURDER their babies if they were born. Sorry about Jesus' murdering nature, but we have to accept it and move on.
Read Timothy again.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) “
Jesus is the man and mediator between God and men.
5. YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE #5: “The Torah, as well as the rest of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), does not say anything about Jesus or Mary. These texts were written hundreds of years before their time. Genesis is one of the five books in the Torah.”The aforementioned books of the Hebrew faith do not have to mention Jesus, DUH! Because Jesus being the ONLY GOD is referenced as being the God of the Old Testament as I have schooled you before, and as shown below:JESUS SAID: "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me." (John 5:46)
John 5:46 is not in the Torah. John is in the Gospels.
JESUS SAID: “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:58)
John 8:58 is not in the Torah.John is in the Gospels.
Paul portrays Jesus as that God that led Israel out of Egypt to the Promised Land!!!! “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” (1 Corinthians 10:1-4)
Paul never met or knew Jesus.
The only exchange Paul had with Jesus was in a vision Paul had on the road to Damascus where he claims he heard a voice that said.
Acts 9:4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
6. YOUR QUOTE TO ME TO JUSTIFY THAT JESUS IS WHO HE IS IN AS I HAVE SHOWN WITH BIBLICAL AXIOMS: “Now try to justify your blasphemous claims against Jesus.”Dear Bible fool Shila, I have already shown Jesus to be what I have proposed, and at your embarrassing Bible ignorance and stupidity expense. CASE CLOSED!

@BrotherD.Thomas
Shila, the over the edge Bible fool,YOUR QUOTE FROM YOUR "TRYING SO HARD" TO PROVE THE MUSLIMS REVERE JESUS IN POST #467!!!: "Now try to justify your blasphemous claims against Jesus."Your feeble mind does not allow you to comprehend that what you posted about the Muslims relative to Jesus in your feeble post #467, DOES NOT remove the facts, as shown once again below for your convenience, in what the Muslims think about Christianity, that cancels out your misconceived notion that they revere Jesus, NOT!!!1. ”O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” (Qur’an 5:51)2. "Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (Qur’an 9:29)3. The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (Qur’an 9:30)4. "Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an." (Qur’an 8:12) This passage relates to Jews and Christians, GET IT?5. “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.” (Qur’an 2:65-66)6. "Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." (Qur’an 3:28) Who are the infidels Shila, YES, Christians and Jews, GET IT?7. "Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them." (Qur’an 47:4) Christians are the infidels!8. "Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies". (Qur’an 22:19) Who are the unbelievers of Islam, CHRISTIANS!
See original exchange in Post#467.
BrotherD. You should have finished high school because your poor reading skills is showing.
My post was about Islamic views about Jesus and not what the Muslims think about Christians as your post #483 suggests.
Brother D. let us compare the Islamic view of Jesus with that of your earlier expressed views on this very thread.
Islam
The Islamic faith was founded by Muhammad on the Arabian Peninsula in the early 7th Century. He claimed to be restoring the monotheistic religion corrupted by the Jews and Christians. As a result, Muslims acknowledge the impact of Jesus and recognize Him as a significant person within their own religious system. The Quran describes Jesus in the following way:
Jesus Was Born of a Virgin
The Quran describes Mary as a virgin prior to her miraculous conception. The conversation between Mary and Allah is recorded in the Quran, and Mary is told that she will conceive without the benefit of human involvement.
“She said: “Verily. I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allâh) from you, if you do fear Allâh.” (The angel) said: “I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son.” She said: “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?” He said: “So (it will be), your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me (Allâh): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allâh), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allâh).’ ” So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).” (Quran 19:18-22)
Jesus Was to Be Revered
Jesus is held in high regard within the Muslim worldview. According to a legend, when Muhammad eliminated all the images of others gods in the Ka’bah, he refused to destroy the statue of Mary and the infant Christ. Jesus remains in a position of respect and reverence within Islam. When muslims speak the name of Jesus today, they typically either say “Hazrat Eesa” (“revered Jesus”) or “Eesa alai-hiss-salaam” (“Jesus peace be upon him”).While Muslims believe Jesus was to be revered as a prophet and Apostle of God, they do not believe He was more than this:
“O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians). Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, (“Be.” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh)created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity).” Cease. (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son.” (Quran 4:171).
Jesus Was A Prophet
Islam affirms Jesus (known as “Isa” or “Eesa”) was one of God’s most important prophets:
“And Zakariyâ (Zachariya), and Yahya (John) and ‘Iesa (Jesus) and Iliyâs (Elias), each one of them was of the righteous.” (Quran 6:85)
Muslims also acknowledge Jesus was sent specifically to the Children of Israel:
“And will make him [‘Iesa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allâh’s Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allâh’s Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Taurât (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allâh and obey me.Truly. Allâh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path.” (Quran 3:49-51)
While Muhammad is described as the final prophet from God, he listed the previous prophets and included Jesus in that list. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but they deny He is God:
“The Messiah [‘Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allâh and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allâh does not eat). Look how We make the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).” (Quran 5:75)
Muslims also deny Jesus was the “Son of God”:
“And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth.” (Quran 9:30).
Jesus Was a Wise Teacher
Muslims acknowledge Jesus was a divinely wise teacher. The Quran reports Jesus’ disciples, as a result of His teaching, were filled with compassion and mercy:
“Then, We sent after them, Our Messengers, and We sent ‘Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy.” (Quran 57:27)
How does the Islamic view of Jesus compare with your blasphemous claims against Jesus?
BrotherD., Think carefully what you said, “ I am NOT blaspheming Jesus because I have described Jesus' true historical modus operandi within the scriptures in Jesus being Yahweh God incarnate, of which you are obviously unaware of because of your complete Bible stupidity! Our Jesus we worship, as the Serial Killer Yahweh God incarnate, was embarrassingly, greedy, jealous, selfish, self-centered, petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capricious, and malevolent!
Now try to justify your blasphemous claims against Jesus.
BrotherD., You have only finished high school and your career highest income is less than 20,000$? You are 56 years old. Learn to show respect.

By the way, isn't intentional cross-thread contamination against the CoC rules Brother D? Maybe you can look for me when you have the time.
Stephen, Why didn’t you look at cross-thread contamination against the CoC rules when BrotherD. was referencing multiple links showing his attacks on you?
Here is what BrotherD. said about you.
Stephen,
Okay, we get it! You are vying to be the most dumbfounded of biblical knowledge on DebatArt Religion Forum! Furthermore, you are already the number one RUN AWAY from your bible ignorance on DebateArt, where I forgot to congratulate you earlier!
Now, you once again remove one foot to insert the other AGAIN in your vain attempts to "think" you know the Bible, where you DO NOT!
YOUR BIBLE IGNORANCE HAVING NO BOUNDS QUOTE POST #8: "Is this clown speak!? The only part of that whole sentence that rings true, is the fact that Timothy, quite plainly states Jesus is in fact a "MAN", and not a god. We should expect nothing less from ' brother' buffoon who knows not his Ark from his own arse;"
The passage in question: "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Timothy 2:5)
Let me help you break this verse down that runs against your continued bible ignorance, okay? Ready?
1. "For there is one God" equals Jesus the Christ as God where 1 Timothy 3:15-16 and many other narratives so states, GET IT?
2. "and there is one mediator between God and men" equals Jesus between Himself as Yahweh God incarnate and men, UNDERSTOOD?
3. "the man Christ Jesus" equals the words stating that Jesus is God, DO YOU GET IT YET?
Stephen, I can understand that you are trying so hard in not making Jesus God because of your one of many other posts that shows you to be vying to be the most bible ignorant on DebateArt listed below. You actually stated that all divisions of Christianity make Jesus the Son of God, where you were BLATANTLY WRONG again! You are still RUNNING AWAY from your embarrassment within this post!
Regarding your perceived notion of the Ark contradiction, I have explained this many times where I was testing the threads members, but yet you hang on to this situation as if you have a "gotcha!" against me, where compared to the following embarrassing and bible ignorant posts of yours shown below, CONVERSELY YOU ARE LAUGHABLE TO THE CORE! LOL!
STEPHEN BEING “SCHOOLED” UPON JESUS’ MIRACLES:
STEPHEN BEING “SCHOOLED” UPON LUKE 14:26
STEPHEN “SCHOOLED” ON JESUS’ CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION THAT HE RAN AWAY FROM:
STEPHEN “SCHOOLED” AGAIN WHEN HE DISAGREES WITH STRONG’S CONCORDANCE RELATIVE TO LUKE 14:26
STEPHEN HAVING A HARD TIME IN NOT UNDERSTANDING THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN DOCTRINE, DUH
STEPHEN RUNS AWAY FROM ANOTHER POST OF MINE WITH LAME LITTLE BOY EXCUSES BECAUSE HE CANNOT ADDRESS IT
STEPHEN RUNS AWAY FROM YET ANOTHER OF MY POSTS SHOWING HIM TO BE AS BIBLE IGNORANT AS DR. “C&P” FRANKLIN
STEPHEN FAILS TO REALIZE THAT HIS RUSE PERTAINING TO BIBLICAL SCRIPTURES GOES SEVERELY WANTING AT ALL TIMES
Question, when do we expect you to go into HIDING on DebateArt to save what face you have left upon this forum? Huh? LOL!!! Now, go and lick your wounds that I have easily inflicted upon you once again, where your bible ignorance has absolutely no bounds!

@Tradesecret
Of course you are. You are simply attempting to play down the close relationship Nicodemus had with Jesus as if it just a flash in the pan.. And still refusing to say if or not he was a disciple.There is no reason to doubt me. I have no interest in playing down the relationship. I agreed that he met with Jesus secretly. I just don't see evidence that this relationship remained secret after that first meeting. I'm still not convinced he was a disciple. But for the record, so what?We know he met in secret with Jesus, we know he spoke up for Jesus and we know he afforded large and costly amounts of myrrh and aloes to anoint Jesus and we know he assisted Joseph of Arimathea with the entombment of Jesus.Ok. If you say so. I assume you will produce the data to prove each of these so called facts.I agree to speculating as you have also done on this thread. But I can assure you that you will be extremely hard pressed to find a biblical scholar that would deny that Nicodemus was a secret disciple of Jesus. But have it you way.Fine. But does any scholar actually produce a verse that says he was a disciple or is it based on assumptions that since he was an associate of Jesus that he must have been a disciple as well?
The final mention of Nicodemus in the Bible is in John 19 after Jesus’ crucifixion. We find Nicodemus assisting Joseph of Arimathea in Jesus’ burial. Joseph is described in John as a rich man and in Mark 15:43 as a member of the Council. He is also described in John 19:38 as a disciple of Jesus, albeit a secret one because he was afraid of the Jews. Joseph asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Nicodemus brought 75 pounds of spices for use in preparing the body for burial and then assisted Joseph in wrapping the body and placing it in the tomb. The sheer amount of burial spices would seem to indicate that Nicodemus was a rich man and that he had great respect for Jesus.
It is impossible that the two betrayed Jesus.
Joseph of Arimathea is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and some Protestant churches. The traditional Roman calendar marked his feast day on 17 March, but he is now listed, along with Saint Nicodemus, on 31 August in the Martyrologium Romanum. Eastern Orthodox churches commemorate him on the Third Sunday of Pascha (i.e., the second Sunday after Easter) and on 31 July, the date shared by Lutheran churches.
