Flat Earth Model isn't wrong: It is super-inefficient

How do you account for the flat earth believers on DebateArt, are they Catholics?
What? I never said all flat-earthers are Catholic. I said the Catholic Church strongly promulgated the flat earth myth and censored other viewpoints.

That is totally different than saying all flat-earthers alive today are Catholic.
If according to you the Catholic Church strongly promulgated the flat earth myth and censored other viewpoints. 

Then all the flat-earthers who heard it from  the Catholic Church that strongly promulgated the flat earth myth and censored other viewpoints. are Catholics.

What is it that the bible records Jesus being offered on a sponge? 

Not a single one of the 12 disciples is recorded as standing at the foot of the cross to watch Jesus die.
 You may want to place Mary Magdelana attending the event, but she is never recorded as being a disciple and, it is said, that she and a few other women stood and to have " watched from afar". 
It is as you insist, "the bible should be taken literally at all times".
You even accept the disciples watch the crucifixion from a distance.

Nope. Learn to read. I clearly wrote:


Not a single one of the 12 disciples is recorded as standing at the foot of the cross to watch Jesus die.#339
The disciples we’re not there to smell his feet. They were watching from the distance the crucifixion so they could write about it.

 The verse you offer simply states "some people" not disciples which indicates simply people on a family day out at the crucifixion. And further John appears contradict both Luke and mark.  That is one for you Christians, to get over.
Lear to read.
Luke 23:49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
The people who knew Jesus were his 12 disciples who followed Jesus everywhere. This is why they were able to write about  the crucifixion because they were there watching from a distance.

The women mentioned were: Mary, mother of James and Joseph/Joses is mentioned by Matthew and Mark. The others are mentioned by one gospel only: Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary, the mother of the sons of Zebedee; Salome; a sister of Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary of Clopas
And you have failed to answer this question tree time>>  "What is it that the bible records Jesus being offered on a sponge"? 
Matthew 27:48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink.

Both you and BrotherD. are scripturally ignorant.

Shila, the biblical fool that is to SCARED to discuss Jesus' true modus operandi as Yahweh God incarnate within the Bible,

YOUR CONTINUED BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE IN POST #336: "Your MO of Jesus is nothing like the Historical Jesus based on the Bible or historical sources Shila used to build the case of the Historical Jesus."

Wrong, bible ignorant fool!  I have asked you many time if you are not too SCARED to discuss Jesus' true MO within the scriptures, but you have ran away like a little school girl from doing so, just likeMiss Tradesecret does to biblical axioms at her embarrassing expense as shown herewith: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8105/post-links/353895

This is the last time in front of the membership, that will be on record in the future and used against you anyway, are you ready to discuss Jesus with the attributes that I have shown Him to be, shown below, or not?   As usual, Miss Tradesecret would RUN, therefore, are you going to be like her as well? Huh?

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!
Just read the nonsense you belief about your Jesus.

Shila, are you also SCARED that in true discussion of Jesus' MO with me, that it will derail your entire misguided thread of Jesus' true historical presence and that is why you are running away from this discussion?
You are not derailing the truth. You are just proving how scripturally ignorant you are as well as misguided to claim the Jesus you worship in your own words, “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!”

YOUR QUOTE OF REVELATION: "Matthews 15:24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

You are correct, besides Jesus being the King of the Jews as well! (Matthew 27:11) Therefore, which Hebrew sect to you belong too?  Don't be SCARED again dear, just simply answer the question, understood?

Thanking you in advance.

To answer your statement, even the most biblically stupid of the Bible like you get to first base some times, but in your case, go no further.

You have RAN AWAY again pertaining to said post in not telling the membership in what HEBREW sect you follow, since you agree that Matthews 15:24 is true!

Your answer is:
The answer is clearly mentioned in my profile. That is where members are expected to introduce themselves.

The case for the Historical Jesus
The resurrection of Jesus.

There were eyewitness accounts testifying to the appearances of the risen Jesus to those who knew him.

The reason people came to believe in the resurrection is because of the appearances of the risen Jesus to those who knew him. Significantly, there are so many accounts of Jesus’s appearances to his disciples that we do not have the space to even quote them all here, much less discuss them.24 Instead, I’ll just summarize the evidence in the form of a list.

The Appearances of the Resurrected Jesus

1. Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene
(Matthew 28:1-10; John 20:14-18)
2. Jesus appears to several female disciples
(Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-11)
3. Jesus appears to Simon Peter
(Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5; John 21:1-24)
4. Jesus appears to James, John, Thomas, Nathanael, and two others
(John 21:1-24)
5. Jesus appears to the eleven disciples as a group
(Matthew 28:16-20; John 20:19-29)
6. Jesus appears to Cleopas and one unnamed disciple
(Luke 24:13-35)
7. Jesus appears to more than five hundred “brothers” at once
(1 Corinthians 15:6)
8. Jesus appears to James (a.k.a. “the Lord’s brother”)
(1 Corinthians 15:7; compare Galatians 2:19)
“9. Jesus appears to Saul of Tarsus (a.k.a. Paul)
(1 Corinthians 15:8)”

Stephen: Nope there is absolutely no evidence that Jesus died on the cross. He could well have simply fell into unconsciousness after such a brutal beating, then having to walk a third of a mile to the location of the crucifixion and then agony of being nailed to some wood.  I am sure I would pass out.

--> @Stephen
It doesn't take too much to get you frustrated does it Stephen, you little stalker you?

Mark 15:45 gives evidence by a Roman Centurion that Jesus was dead.  That this evidence was satisfactory to Pilate enabled him to permit the body to be removed and given to Joseph of Arimathea. 

John 19:32 also gives evidence by Roman Soldiers that when they came to Jesus he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.  Instead one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear - bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.  This was evidence that Jesus was dead. 

The scriptures testify that Jesus died.  There is sufficient evidence of this. To say there is none is nonsense. And the ravings of a man not willing to accept anything. 
Both Stephen and BrotherD. quote scriptures but remain in denial. They are indeed ravings of two men  not willing to accept anything.

Best Korea is a satirical nickname given to North Korea under the humorous assumption that it is the better of the two divided nations on the Korean ...
The North Korean god has surfaced. We are still waiting for the South Korean gods to enter the ring.

Of course it satyrical, just like Brother D Thomas. 
Except the Brother comes from south Kentucky.
The obvious distinguishing feature of the Bible Belt is the religiosity of its people. Between three quarters and two thirds of people in the states that are considered part of the Bible Belt define themselves as religious. Mississippi and Alabama are tied for the highest percentage of religious people at 77%. The lowest percentage of religious people in the Bible Belt can be found in Kentucky, with 63% of the people living in that state defining themselves as religious. Not surprisingly, the states of the Bible Belt have higher church attendance rates when compared to other states and the national average.

You sure know how to find em!!

Jesus did indeed die. Jesus was crucified and the Gospels record his last breath.
Nope there is absolutely no evidence that Jesus died on the cross. He could well have simply fell into unconsciousness after such a brutal beating, then having to walk a third of a mile to the location of the crucifixion and then agony of being nailed to some wood.  I am sure I would pass out.
You accept Jesus was brutally beaten, had to walk a third of a mile to the location of the crucifixion and then agony of being nailed to some wood. Which was the crucifixion of Jesus.

Here is what followed.

John 19:31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”

The Burial of Jesus

38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
What is it that the bible records Jesus being offered on a sponge? 

Not a single one of the 12 disciples is recorded as standing at the foot of the cross to watch Jesus die.
 You may want to place Mary Magdelana attending the event, but she is never recorded as being a disciple and, it is said, that she and a few other women stood and to have " watched from afar". 
It is as you insist, "the bible should be taken literally at all times".
You even accept the disciples watch the crucifixion from a distance. So they were eyewitness to the crucifixion which they recorded in the Gospels.

Luke 23:49 But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.


There are more atheist members who now believe Jesus existed than we had before Shila built the case for the Historical Jesus.

There have always been atheists that believe as I do in the possibility that a biblical character named Jesus existed and well before you were even born. But I will often admit that I cannot prove it.   So, it has nothing to do with you "building a case".  So stop getting ahead of yourself because you have proven nothing.
I have successfully built a case for the Historical Jesus and have even begun to remove any doubts about the Biblical Jesus.
Showing you details about Jesus’s crucifixion from Gospel accounts further validates the Bible which in turn corroborates the historical accounts.

FOX News is being sued for lying
Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull argues that Rupert Murdoch, through Fox News, has done more to undermine American democracy than any other individual alive today. 
"The biggest challenge to the United States is not Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin. It's the animosity, the division, the anti-democratic movements within the United States itself," Turnbull told NPR's Ari Shapiro on All Things Considered. "Fox News is not the only source of this madness, but it is by far the single most influential one."
In reply, Fox Corp. spokesman Brian Nick points to Fox News's dominant ratings among cable news channels, and the network's strong appeal to Democrats and independent voters, as well as Republicans.

Before that it was logical to assume the earth was flat.
I think you completely missed my point. The point was that the "earth being flat" idea was not widely held at all except by the Catholic Church through censorship.

The Ancient Egyptians used calculus to determine the earth was arched. [1] And the Ancient Greeks also determined the earth was round. [2]

...Last June, her doctor suggested low doses of naltrexone, a generic drug typically used to treat alcohol and opioid addiction.
After more than two years of living in "a thick, foggy cloud," she said, "I can actually think clearly."

...Researchers chasing long COVID cures are eager to learn whether the drug can offer similar benefits to millions suffering from pain, fatigue and brain fog months after a coronavirus infection.

...The drug has been used with some success to treat a similar complex, post-infectious syndrome marked by cognitive deficits and overwhelming fatigue called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). "...

..." One of Long COVID’s Worst Symptoms Is Also Its Most Misunderstood

Brain fog isn’t like a hangover or depression. It’s a disorder of executive function that makes basic cognitive tasks absurdly hard. "...
Brain fog is a new American phenomena caused by conflicting  priorities and by being surrounded by indecisive people who only contribute to the growing confusion.

Dr ANTHONY FAUCI's COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS to the 2022 GRADUATING CLASS of PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
Misleading Claim on Natural Infection
Wheeler proceeds to question why people who have previously had COVID-19 are being vaccinated — and in the process, misleadingly claims that natural infection is “better” than immunization.
“Why are people who’ve already had COVID-19 and recovered from it getting the vaccine?” she asks. “You might say, well, to protect against reinfection. But nope, according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which followed 12,541 health care workers for 31 weeks after they’d had COVID, six months into the study they found natural immunization was solid. They found only two cases of asymptomatic reinfections. So why are we vaccinating people who’ve already recovered from COVID? They don’t seem to be at risk of reinfection and natural immunization is better than artificial immunization. It makes no sense.”
As we’ve written, many vaccines don’t provide quite as good immunity as that triggered by an infection, but that hardly means going that route is better, as contracting the disease is inherently risky. And there are numerous vaccines, such as those that protect against tetanus and human papillomavirus, or HPV, that produce superior immunity than natural infection. (For more, see our SciCheck story “Paul Misleads on Natural Infection and COVID-19 Vaccines.”)
For the coronavirus, it’s not yet known how immunity from vaccination compares with that from infection. Some initial signs suggest that the vaccines produce higher levels of infection-blocking neutralizing antibodies than those seen in patients recovering from COVID-19, but the strength and duration of immunity from both natural infection and immunization remain an area of investigation. Regardless, getting vaccinated is far safer than contracting the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2. 
It’s true that people who have previously had COVID-19 likely have some immunity for a certain amount of time and therefore aren’t at high risk of becoming reinfected soon. For this reason, some experts have proposed that people who have had COVID-19 should not be prioritized for immunization.
But there’s no way to know for certain whether a person is immune — the so-called correlates of immunity have yet to be worked out for COVID-19 — and it’s unclear how long immunity might last.
As a result, the CDC website states, “Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that re-infection with COVID-19 is possible, vaccine should be offered to you regardless of whether you already had COVID-19 infection.”
Elsewhere, the agency recognizes the lower risk to individuals who have previously had COVID-19, adding that it’s reasonable for people with infections in the last three months to choose to delay vaccination, at least while vaccines remain in short supply.
The CDC also advises that people with active coronavirus infections wait until they’ve recovered to receive a shot and for anyone who has received monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma to delay vaccination for at least 90 days, as those therapies might prevent the vaccine from working.
It’s worth noting that even though the study Wheeler cited does suggest reinfection is rare, she botched some of the details. While 12,541 health care workers were included, not all of them had COVID-19. Instead, only 1,265 tested positive on a particular antibody test, suggesting they probably had been previously infected. Two of those individuals then went on to test positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus with a PCR test.

@Public-Choice

If I am reading this correctly, you are saying that if we redefine flat to "a side or a surface" then the world is flat relative to where we are standing and everything, Therefore, is realigned in reference to our position on earth.

While this is an interesting thought experiment, we already have mountains of data that prove the earth is not flat.

Also, fwiw, the Bible doesn't teach the earth is flat. The Hebrew word translated "circle" (חוּג) in most Bibles actually means vault in the archaic meaning, or an arch. So when it says the vault of the earth, it is saying the earth is curved. [1] 

Additionally, ancient rabbinical commentaries on this passage also allude to the fact that the earth is both round and flat. To claim one was always the case is to ignore the Jerusalem Talmud. [2]

SOURCES:
Are you aware today we have satellite images of planet earth and it is very spherical?  Before that it was logical to assume the earth was flat. But that is no longer the case with modern technology. A picture tells a thousand words.

The thing here Brother D. is that Shila is of the impression that because no one on this thread has actually argued against there ever being an historical Jesus, he has jumped to the conclusion that he somehow proven that an historical Jesus actually existed. Which of course he hasn't proven any such thing. 
Here you are confirming  that no one on this thread has actually argued against there ever being an historical Jesus.
There is a good reason why no one on this thread has actually argued against there ever being an historical Jesus, it proves Shila has successfully built the case for the Historical Jesus. Very convincing evidence were presented and  several historical sources added.
There are more atheist members who now believe Jesus existed than we had before Shila built the case for the Historical Jesus.

Shila, the Copy and Paste Artist, the dumbfounded Bible fool, and the runaway from Bible facts about our Historical Jesus,

Barring your outright Bible stupidity that Jesus DID NOT DIE as I have shown you in this link: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8091/post-links/353291   why do you continue to run away in discussion like Miss Tradesecret does when I present biblical axioms to the two of you?  As explicitly shown below, the “Historical Jesus,” which is the topic of your ungodly thread in not following 1 Timothy 2:11-14, had the biblical attributes listed below, bar none!
Jesus was crucified and the Gospels record his last breath.

Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

Matthew 27:50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Those attributes that you sheepishly RUN AWAY from about our Jesus as being Yahweh God incarnate are as follows: Jesus 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.
We now know the Jesus you worship is very different from the Jesus Christians worship.

Here is how you described the Jesus you worship BrotherD.:

BrotherD wrote: “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!

Why are you blaspheming Jesus, BrotherD.?
Shila, remember bible stupid fool, your thread is about the "historical Jesus," therefore,  the aforementioned attributes about Jesus are all in context with your pitiful and embarrassing thread!  Get it?
Shila, are you that SCARED in front of the membership to discuss the real Historical Jesus as shown above?  Huh?  Or, are you going to run like Miss Tradesecret does and HIDE from your own thread?  LOL!

Shila is the only member who has dared to build a case for the Historical Jesus with evidence that Jesus existed.

An empty tomb is only evidence that a tomb was found to be empty. Nothing you have produced proves anything at all.

Sorry to burst your bubble but resurrection is nothing more than an initiation ritual into one sect or another.

Again read what is being posted. There were eyewitness accounts testifying to the appearances of the risen Jesus to those who knew him.
Yep. I read that.  It states nothing about a single one of them witnessing stinking and rotting a three-day old corpse rising from a cold stone slab.

 And it is debateable whether Jesus was even dead when they took him down from the cross. He could have been unconscious or in a coma.  You need to look at what was given to him while he was hanging there losing his faith in his "father".  
Jesus did indeed die. Jesus was crucified and the Gospels record his last breath.

Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

Matthew 27:50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.


The Burial of Jesus

Matthew 27:57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

The Guard at the Tomb

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

@BrotherD.Thomas
Stephen,

Regarding my revealing post that Jesus DID NOT DIE, as shown herewith in this link: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8091/post-links/353291  , DEBATEART Religion Forum must have a sign out once again somewhere that states "All Bible stupid pseudo-christians welcome!" Therefore, as shown, Shila, and the ever so Bible inept Miss Tradesecret, have taken advantage of this welcoming sign and are now making continued Bible fools of themselves!

As I have said before, Bible stupid pseudo-christians do not know they are Bible stupid, because of the simple fact that they are so Bible stupid®️

Shila posted:  "Having established the case for the Historical Jesus. The question on everyone’s mind has to be why and how did the Historical Jesus die?"


JESUS DIDN'T DIE BIBLE FOOL SHILA!

DIE: to cease to live; undergo the complete and permanent cessation of all vital functions; become dead.
Listen up Bible fool Shila, Jesus DID NOT remain dead, because He came back after a 3 day tomb nap and walked out as being flesh and blood, understood Bible fool, huh?  In the real primitive bible sacrifices the individual or animal remained DEAD, which is a true meaningful sacrifice!  Deduced, since our Jesus did not remain dead, he therefore did not die by remaining dead as the definition in how one dies shown above! 
Here you admit Jesus died. 
So Jesus did indeed die. Jesus was crucified and the Gospels record his last breath.

Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

Matthew 27:50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

 A factual and real sacrifice is that you remain DEAD, period, where one does NOT come back to life three days later!  HELLO?!  As an example, a true sacrifice  is when USA  soldiers remained dead after they gave their lives to protect the United States of America in WW2!

You are talking about the resurrection of Jesus. One has to die before they can be resurrected. Jesus died and was resurrected. This is very unique to Christianity.

SHILA the continued Bible fool, the question on everyone’s mind has to be when are you going to TRUTHFULLY show that 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!

Why I Support LGBT & Feminism

@sadolite
--> @Yassine
 "Why I Support LGBT & Feminism" 

"That LGBT+Feminism is the shortest & amplest path to population collapse. White populations fertility is currently at about half replacement rate, & declining. This is the generation which grew up in the 70s & 80s, during 2nd & 3rd wave Feminism. The upcoming generation, of which close to half are LGBT+, will likely half the fertility, to probably quarter replacement rate; since LGBT+ contribution to fertility is, well, insignificant. Half replacement rate means half the population over a life expectancy cycle, idem for a quarter. Specifically, the 600 million Whites in the world will become 300 million by the end of the century at half replacement rate, & 150 million at quarter replacement rate. "

Where am I confused?
Let’s look at the countries that don’t have LGBT & Feminism problems like India, China and Africa. Each country has a population of 1.4billion, 1.4 billion, 1 billion respectively.
So the idea that the white population will be reduced to 300million will greatly create a demographics shift. The other countries will have to tolerate white LGBT+Feminism and resist the temptation to dominate the white race. Russia can greatly contribute to reducing the white race even further by engaging them in a 3rd World War.
With the large number of white men being killed in these conflicts. The only whites left will be LGBT & Feminism.

(John 21:1-24)
5. Jesus appears to the eleven disciples as a group
(Matthew 28:16-20; John 20:19-29)
6. Jesus appears to Cleopas and one unnamed disciple
(Luke 24:13-35)
7. Jesus appears to more than five hundred “brothers” at once
(1 Corinthians 15:6)
8. Jesus appears to James (a.k.a. “the Lord’s brother”)
(1 Corinthians 15:7; compare Galatians 2:19)

The logic of Bible - The Ultimate logic
It is highly likely that god would appear in the country where he is most needed like North Korea which is drowning under world sanctions and a dictator.
It is also highly likely good would be driven out of a country like a North Korea because the people have grown Skeptical of hope and promises even by god.
But it would be extremely selfish and self serving to welcome this same very god that has failed in his mission to save North Korea.

Wait, we have examples  of this very same thing happening in the Bible.

Jesus was sent only to save the Jews and today the North Koreans.

Matthews 15:24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

The Jews were slaughtered, they temple and holy city destroyed by the Romans in 70AD.

The world forgot all that and embraced Jesus as their saviour.

Are we doing the same here as North Korea flounders.

Any evidence for Soul?
The best explanation for soul is still what Shila offered.

Soul is the energy trapped in a man’s body.

Biblical evidence.
Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Scientific evidence.
In physics, energy (from Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια, enérgeia, “activity”) is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.


Since energy can neither be created or destroyed. The soul exists as energy.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.

Your quote "As our survey shows, only one percent of the population doesn't like ice cream – but of those who enjoy it, only 45 percent eat it regularly without concern," said Amit Pandhi." isn't even from your link? And directly contradicts the 7% you and the link are saying.

Yes. I am sure all the indoctrinated from birth Christians believe that pathetic drivel.  But it nothing more than an initiation ritual.
If resurrection was just an initiation ritual, why is it unique to Christianity ?

Why do you not research the subject instead of simply regurgitating what you have been brainwashed into regurgitating?

Not a single person witnessed a three-day old rotten stinking corpse rise from a stone-cold slab.
You should read and think more before posting.

“These passages below demolish any argument that the first Christians—whether Jew or Gentile—believed in the resurrection of Jesus because they were particularly gullible. Once again, ancient people knew full well that ordinarily dead people stay dead.17 So if the fact of the resurrection was such a hard pill for so many people to swallow, why then did the disciples come to believe it? The Gospels describe three major reasons they believed.
First, the disciples came to believe in the resurrection of Jesus because of the empty tomb.18 As Bart Ehrman writes: “All of our sources agree that Jesus was dead and buried, and that on the third day his tomb was empty.”19 Ehrman is entirely correct. All four of the first-century Gospels tell us that on the Sunday of Passover week, the tomb in which Joseph of Arimathea had laid Jesus’s body was empty (see Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-10). Perhaps the most striking eyewitness account of the discovery of the empty tomb is from the Gospel of John:

“Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.(John 20:1-10)

The reason people came to believe in the resurrection is because of the appearances of the risen Jesus to those who knew him. Significantly, there are so many accounts of Jesus’s appearances to his disciples that we do not have the space to even quote them all here, much less discuss them.24 Instead, I’ll just summarize the evidence in the form of a list.

Muslims wanting to destroy their opponents is hardly new or radical.
- This is a debate website. It's literally meant for destroying opponents. Ain't nothing Muslim about it.


Now Muslims trying something different instead might be one for the record.  Is it because Islam is reaching equality with Christianity in numbers, so slitting the throats of infidels is less necessary?
- You are projecting. Not because you do it, then everyone else must do it too.
The Muslim logic behind throat slitting.

Muslims believe cutting the foreskin around the head of the penis (circumcision) will cause the penis to behave.
Applying the same logic slitting a persons throat which is just below a persons head will also cause the infidel to behave.
But when you look at the millions of Muslim refugees fleeing their country. One might ask why Muslims are okay with circumcision but slit the throats of infidels because they want only infidels to behave . It’s a double standard.

What the Resurrection Is.

What then does the resurrection mean? Let’s turn to the Gospel accounts and look at three points that are essential for understanding what the disciples were actually claiming when they said that Jesus had been “raised from the dead.”
“First, the resurrected Jesus has a body. He is not a ghost. This is perhaps clearest in Luke’s account of Jesus’s appearance to the disciples in the Upper Room:
As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. (Luke 24:36-43)”

“Note well that the disciples’ first reaction is to assume that Jesus is a “spirit” (Greek pneuma). This shows us, for one thing, that they believed in ghosts! It also shows us that they were familiar with the idea of encountering the disembodied “spirit” of a dead person. In order to correct this misunderstanding, Jesus insists that he has “flesh and bones”—that is, that he has a real human body. And just in case the disciples have any doubts about the reality of his body, he asks them for something to eat! Although spirits might be able to do lots of things, because they lack bodies, sitting down to a nice meal of broiled fish is not one of them. There are few things more bodily than the act of eating.”

“Second, the resurrected Jesus has the same body that he had while he was alive. That’s why he still bears the wounds of the cross.13 Jesus implies as much when he shows his disciples “his hands and his feet” (Luke 24:40). The Gospel of John’s account of Jesus’s appearance to Thomas makes this explicit:
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” “Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20:24-29)
As this account makes very clear, the risen Jesus has not discarded his human body like an old garment. The crucifixion has literally left its marks on him, forever, but without conquering his life. Moreover, notice also that when Thomas is confronted with the reality of the resurrection, his response is an unequivocal affirmation of Jesus’s divinity: “My Lord and my God! (Greek ho kyrios mou kai ho theos mou)” (John 20:28).14 For Thomas, the resurrection of Jesus after his death vindicates the claims that Jesus made about his divinity during his life.”

“What the Resurrection Is:
It is a ancient ritual ceremony of 'rebirth ' into a following or sect.

Nothing more nothing less.


ritual
/ˈrɪtʃʊəl/
Learn to pronounce

noun

  1. a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order.
The same ritual was performed on Lazarus. He was said to have "died" - i.e.lost faith in the movement. 
John 11:43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”


In the Christian religion, the Resurrection is Jesus Christ's return to life on the third day after his death, or the return of all people to life at the end of the world.

The resurrection of Jesus.

“First, what did it mean for Jesus’s disciples to claim that he had been “raised” from the dead? Second, why is it that so many Jews in the first century AD believed that Jesus really was raised from the dead? According to the Acts of the Apostles, within a couple years after Jesus’s death, some “five thousand” Jews came to believe in his “resurrection” (see “Acts 4:1-4). What was it that convinced them that the tomb of Jesus really was empty on Easter Sunday? How do we explain the historical fact of early Christian belief in the resurrection?

Please address the line of text you need assistance with. p is for prime number

Understand that post #3 is a corrective alternative to post #1. I found some issues with that scenario, that didnt fit with the 3D torus.

There is a third option of the graviton-darkeon, that Ive not presented in this thread.  The 2D lattice for 18 nodal events,  and it is in post #3, I just dont explain that scenario/option. It is an option, because the 18 --like the 12--- is on the same line as the initiating nodal point 0. This means that in those two scenarios, they each come around to meet each other   ---12/0 or a 18/0---  to created that specific great circle of the torus, having total of four great circles.

When 12 or 18 meet zero they inherently are considered to share the same  location/position-in-space.

In so doing, the nodal account of 13 goes to 12 and the nodal accounting of 19 goes to 18. For these reasons laid out here and in post #3, ive considered the 15 to 14 nodal event to be incorrect, at least until I can understand a logical common sense way to integrate the leftover two nodes --16 and 17p--,  into my spiral, dipolar invaginated, 3D torus.
You did not account for climate change. The numbers would be greatly inflated.

Flat Earth Model isn't wrong: It is super-inefficient
-->
@Intelligence_06
What are you expecting entering this topic? I don't know. Either way, let me explain.

Heliocentrism isn't wrong, but inefficient: In that case, both the moon and the sun will orbit around the earth, while planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, with themselves many moons around them, are calculated to orbit a center that is closer to the sun than the earth. This would mean to calculate about Ganymede, you first have to calculate about the Sun's motion, then the motion of Jupiter, then Io. That is super inefficient. Instead of that, why don't we set the reference at the Sun?

It is the old religious who fixed the reference at Earth and accepted nothing else, not Galileo nor Copernicus. Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, etc... just provided new references that made calculation and observation more efficient.

In reality, we technically can define the Earth's surface as flat and anything tangential to the Earth "above it". The problem becomes that if some object flys directly above the south pole, the position for that object on the "flat earth model"  would teleport from one side to another. All constellations would be on one side of "earth", the other side being what is "underneath the Earth", which we will have a mantle and core as wide as the surface of Earth itself. We can just fold space enough so that the Earth's curvature matches the morphed space so the Earth is flat according to that system. In that case, the earth is flat.

Due to astronomical, geological, geographical(continents in the South will be disproportionally enlarged), physical, and maybe even archaelogical inconvenience, we pretty much discard this model the moment it is being formed in one's mind. That is why this model wasn't being thought of before with great depths, hmm, I guess.
Are you aware today we have satellite images of planet earth and is very spherical. Before that it was logical to assume the earth was flat. But that is no longer the case. A picture tells a thousand words.

Brother D and Stephen are the number one stalkers on this site.  They are both fakes and frauds.  They accuse others of being liars but never quite produce the proof. They provide little snippets of evidence but never the killer blow.  Like most con artists they use a piece of fact and attempt to build up from there with speculation to try and sound like they know what they are talking.  

I am not perfect. Never have I claimed to be. But I am not a liar.  
You have helped to clear some of the confusion and you know their situation better. But I will try to help where I can to reduce this animosity and try to create a more perfect union.

I don't care if you or the Reverend cannot accept these facts. But they are facts. If you don't want to be discussing the Reverend, then simply stop forcing the conversation in his direction and bringing him up every other post that you make.

So get your thread back on course, unless all this is about the Reverend helping you distract from  Brother D. making you look like a bible ignorant dunce. 
All your post says is Tradesecret is a Reverend by any standards. You and BrotherD. actually believe he has earned that title. Or were you two fooled into calling him Reverend?

The case for the Historical Jesus
The resurrection of Jesus.

“First, what did it mean for Jesus’s disciples to claim that he had been “raised” from the dead? Second, why is it that so many Jews in the first century AD believed that Jesus really was raised from the dead? According to the Acts of the Apostles, within a couple years after Jesus’s death, some “five thousand” Jews came to believe in his “resurrection” (see “Acts 4:1-4). What was it that convinced them that the tomb of Jesus really was empty on Easter Sunday? How do we explain the historical fact of early Christian belief in the resurrection?

“What the Resurrection Is
What then does the resurrection mean? Let’s turn to the Gospel accounts and look at three points that are essential for understanding what the disciples were actually claiming when they said that Jesus had been “raised from the dead.”
“First, the resurrected Jesus has a body. He is not a ghost. This is perhaps clearest in Luke’s account of Jesus’s appearance to the disciples in the Upper Room:
As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. (Luke 24:36-43)”

“Note well that the disciples’ first reaction is to assume that Jesus is a “spirit” (Greek pneuma). This shows us, for one thing, that they believed in ghosts! It also shows us that they were familiar with the idea of encountering the disembodied “spirit” of a dead person. In order to correct this misunderstanding, Jesus insists that he has “flesh and bones”—that is, that he has a real human body. And just in case the disciples have any doubts about the reality of his body, he asks them for something to eat! Although spirits might be able to do lots of things, because they lack bodies, sitting down to a nice meal of broiled fish is not one of them. There are few things more bodily than the act of eating.”

“Second, the resurrected Jesus has the same body that he had while he was alive. That’s why he still bears the wounds of the cross.13 Jesus implies as much when he shows his disciples “his hands and his feet” (Luke 24:40). The Gospel of John’s account of Jesus’s appearance to Thomas makes this explicit:
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” “Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20:24-29)
As this account makes very clear, the risen Jesus has not discarded his human body like an old garment. The crucifixion has literally left its marks on him, forever, but without conquering his life. Moreover, notice also that when Thomas is confronted with the reality of the resurrection, his response is an unequivocal affirmation of Jesus’s divinity: “My Lord and my God! (Greek ho kyrios mou kai ho theos mou)” (John 20:28).14 For Thomas, the resurrection of Jesus after his death vindicates the claims that Jesus made about his divinity during his life.”

Besides the title one has to earn that respect to be called a Reverend.

So you still insist on perpetuating lies on his behalf.  


he does not want to be called Reverend and prefers Pastor.

But he is a Reverend. That is his title. He has claimed to be both a Pastor and a Chaplain to the military.  Why are you denying facts?

Or he is LYING and you are helping him perpetuate his lies.

Stephen, you and BrotherD. Only want to talk about Tradesecret. You have still not explained why you two call him Reverend which is a title of respect and at the same time attack him calling him a pervert. Is that some kind of love hate relationship you three have developed over the years?

Read what Tradesecret accused you and BrotherD. of.
Tradesecret: “Perhaps it might be worthwhile knowing that I have never said I was a reverend or asked to be called one. Infact Stephen lied about this as well - and when challenged, came up with nary a response.  All his stalking left him with more egg on the face.

As for stalking, it is very clear Stephen is the no. 1 creepy stalker on this site.   Brother is coming close as no. 2. “

The case for the Historical Jesus


Shila weote: 
"Having established the case for the Historical Jesus. The question on everyone’s mind has to be why and how did the Historical Jesus die?"


Brother D. Wrote:

JESUS DIDN'T DIE BIBLE FOOL SHILA!
DIE: to cease to live; undergo the complete and permanent cessation of all vital functions; become dead.
Listen up Bible fool Shila, Jesus DID NOT remain dead, because He came back after a 3 day tomb nap and walked out as being flesh and blood, understood Bible fool, huh?  In the real primitive bible sacrifices the individual or animal remained DEAD, which is a true meaningful sacrifice!  Deduced, since our Jesus did not remain dead, he therefore did not die by remaining dead as the definition in how one dies shown above! 
Stephen: Interesting that the Christians close their eyes and stick their fingers in their ears when the obvious is pointed out to them, isn't it Brother D. ? 

There is also a very good case to be made that Jesus survived the cross and didn't die in any sense of the word. 
That is why it is important to prove Jesus died and was resurrected. This makes Christianity unique among all religions. The death and resurrection of Jesus.
If Jesus didn’t die there is no proof of resurrection. 

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Brother D. Wrote:

 A factual and real sacrifice is that you remain DEAD, period, where one does NOT come back to life three days later!  HELLO?!  As an example, a true sacrifice  is when USA  soldiers remained dead after they gave their lives to protect the United States of America in WW2!

Stephen: In a nut-shell, Btother D.  👍

Having established the case for the Historical Jesus. The question on everyone’s mind has to be why and how did the Historical Jesus die?
Jesus was crucified and he resurrected in three days just as he had predicted.
John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

Let us read “the words of Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian:
Let him that blasphemes God (Greek blasphēmēsas theon) be stoned, then hung for a day, and buried ignominiously and in obscurity. (Josephus, Antiquities, 4.202)20
In other words, when it comes to a case of blasphemy against God himself, execution alone is not enough. The offense requires crucifixion—being “hung” so that all can see the shame of the one who has dared to blaspheme God. Although under Rome it was not “lawful” for the Jewish leaders to put Jesus to death by stoning (John 18:31), they can still hand him over to be “hung” on a tree by the Romans. And that is what they do.”

In “Both the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John testify to previous incidents when Jesus is accused of blasphemy during his public ministry:
And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” (Matthew 9:3)
Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Mark 2:6-7)
[Jesus said:] “I and the Father are one.” The Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We stone you for no good work but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.” (John 10:30-33)

These other charges of blasphemy are consistently ignored by those who claim that Jesus was condemned to death for speaking against the Temple.21 The reason: this evidence poses great difficulties for those who contend that Jesus never claimed to be God. And that is one reason why such an idea fails as a historical explanation. In order to work, it has to ignore “or dismiss key pieces of evidence.22 According to the Gospels, Jesus of Nazareth was accused of and, ultimately, condemned for blasphemy because of who he claimed to be.
By the way, the evidence that Jesus was condemned for blasphemy isn’t just in the Synoptic Gospels; it’s also in the Gospel of John.23 Although John’s Gospel does not contain an account of Jesus’s proclamation before Caiaphas, it does report that the chief priests and scribes publically accused Jesus of blasphemy on the day of his crucifixion:
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” “Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God.” (John 19:5-7)

What is this law to which the chief priest and scribes are referring? It is the biblical law against blasphemy: “He who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death” (Leviticus 24:16).24 Thus, both the Synoptics and the Gospel of John agree that it is the charge of blasphemy that lands Jesus on the cross.
The evidence presented here suggests that the now popular idea that Jesus never claimed to be anything more than an ordinary human being totally fails to deal with the actual historical evidence. Jesus’s words and actions regarding the Temple might have got him hauled into the Jewish court, but it was what he said about himself that got him crucified.”

Stephen, You two have known each other for over 4 years. 

I don't know him at all. I only know what he has volunteered about himself to this forum on the WWW


You two are lying. So which is it?

You must have missed this what I already posted at #290 above and have repeated for you below. Try reading it, taking your time.
Tradesecret wrote: Perhaps it might be worthwhile knowing that I have never said I was a reverend or asked to be called one. Infact Stephen lied about this as well - and when challenged, came up with nary a response.

I have said it many times to you before REVEREND, you dulcet dunce.  You must be the only Chaplain & Pastor in the whole world that doesn't know he's to be addressed as Reverend.


Chaplains to the Armed Services
  1. The Reverend A B Smith RN (or CF or RAF).   https://www.crockford.org.uk/faq/how-to-address-the-clergy

TRADESECRET WROTE: 
I am also a chaplain to our Countries Defence forces, a position I could not have without proper qualifications.  #20


The title Reverend applies to Pastors too. 

TRADESECRET WROTE:
But in my role as a pastor - which I also do, I counsel in pastoral care.#20

And is all you have ever done is deny that you are a Reverend.

TRADESECRET WROTE:

  And I am not a reverend. #29
I keep telling you, you are very ill, Reverend.


Shila wrote: drop the name Reverend out of respect for the Christian institution you belong to.

Shila,  He has no respect for anyone. He's a lying narcissist that I believe suffers from severe Munchausen's. The believability of lie and the fantasy are of no consequence to someone in his condition. SEE HERE>>#207

He may not want to be called Reverend, but he is stuck with that title until he simply admits he is a compulsive pathological liar.
You have been suckered into supporting these lying clowns lies and should know better. It makes you a worse liar then he is. You are more a disgrace than he ever will be..
Besides the title one has to earn that respect to be called a Reverend. It almost seems like you insist he be called Reverend even though he does not want to be called Reverend and prefers Pastor.

Stephen: He may not want to be called Reverend, but he is stuck with that title until he simply admits he is a compulsive pathological liar.
Knowingly calling a pervert Reverend is mocking the Christian institutions. That’s like calling a known pedophile  Catholic Priest, Father.

I think you and BrotherD. are here  to mock Jesus and Christian institutions that bear his name.

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

@BrotherD.Thomas
Shila, in being a woman, will be going to Hell upon her demise anyway, therefore her time here in going against God's word is all for naught,

Addressing once again your Bible stupidity in your post #285;

YOUR PITIFUL QUOTE IN CONTINUING TO SLAP JESUS IN THE FACE AS A WOMAN THAT IS NOT TO TEACH:   "Having established the case for the Historical Jesus. The question on everyone’s mind has to be why and how did the Historical Jesus die?"

JESUS DIDN'T DIE BIBLE FOOL SHILA!

DIE: to cease to live; undergo the complete and permanent cessation of all vital functions; become dead.
Listen up Bible fool Shila, Jesus DID NOT remain dead, because He came back after a 3 day tomb nap and walked out as being flesh and blood, understood Bible fool, huh?  In the real primitive bible sacrifices the individual or animal remained DEAD, which is a true meaningful sacrifice!  Deduced, since our Jesus did not remain dead, he therefore did not die by remaining dead as the definition in how one dies shown above! 
Jesus did die, he was crucified and buried in a tomb.
 A factual and real sacrifice is that you remain DEAD, period, where one does NOT come back to life three days later!  HELLO?!  As an example, a true sacrifice  is when USA  soldiers remained dead after they gave their lives to protect the United States of America in WW2!

The part of the Historical Jesus is called the Resurrection. Which I will cover next. One has to die first before one can be resurrected. Jesus died and 3 days later was resurrected.

SHILA the continued Bible fool, the question on everyone’s mind has to be when are you going to TRUTHFULLY show that 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!
Your view of Jesus is totally unacceptable.
I noticed you have repeatedly called Jesus a serial killer.
Here you added more to your list of blasphemous insults by saying the Jesus you 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!
The aforementioned biblical axioms about our Jesus as God of the Bible has been accepted by me as a true Christian upon this Religion Forum!  Shila, do you accept the above facts about are Jesus as well, and if not, where do you get the authority to NOT accept them?  Would you be to SCARED to discuss said facts about our Jesus?
You want Shila to discuss the facts about your jesus which you have been worshipping all your life and only now shared it with us.
Now I know the Jesus you 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!

Any wonder you are such a mean spirited miserable old man. Look at how warped your mind has become with all the Bible slapping your received growing up.

Shila, the unsurpassed Bible fool here at DEBATEART Religion Forum,

Addressing your Bible dumbfounded post #284,

YOUR CONTINUED STUPIDITY IN CIRCULAR REASONING SHOWN ONCE AGAIN: "The Bible is not taught in junior grade public  schools because of a ruling by the Supreme Court."

HELLO?!  Read in what Tommy said at your continued embarrassing expense, BIBLE DOOFUS WOMAN!   Tommy quote: " .... even my 2nd graders in my Chistan skool can understand that jesus rote the bible, okay dumb ass girl, hehehehe …….?  Get it? Huh?  Tommy goes to a Christian school where the Bible is taught, now, wipe the egg from your Satanic face once again in front of the membership, Shila the Bible fool!  LOL!
The Bible is not taught in junior grade public  schools because of a ruling by the Supreme Court. But it appears Tommy learnt to lie as a 2nd grader.
What is a 56 year old BrotherD doing with a 2nd grader named Tommy should be of concern to mods.

YOUR CIRCULAR REASONING QUOTE ONCE AGAIN: "What is a 56 year old BrotherD doing with a 2nd grader named Tommy should be of concern to mods."

Look at the low levels you have to go in response to myself making you the true Bible fool that you are!  In alluding that there should be a concern with my neighbors boy in the 2nd grade.  All you are doing, like Miss Tradesecret, is to propose a diversion tactic to take the lime-light off you you making a complete fool of yourself relating to the Bible!   The ONLY  CONCERN for the mods should be your outright Bible stupidity that gives this Religion Forum a bad name!!!!
It that how BrotherD. got to Tommy’s sister by bribing them with “a big Mickey D’s credit card for you and your sister.”

The rest of your Satanic diatribe in your pitiful post #284 is COPY AND PASTE from your previous posts to me in "trying" to defend your Satanic position, therefore since I proved you wrong previously, and to save you any further embarrassment, I will not respond to a continuous C&P ungodly rhetoric of yours!


NEXT PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN WOMAN THAT COPIES AND PASTED HER BIBLE STUPIDITY AGAIN, AND AGAIN, WILL BE ...?
Finally you introduced your neighbours children as your source for scriptures. Busted BrotherD!!!

To the average person a Pastor and Reverend are both members of the clergy.

Stephen: Remember you are dealing with a compulsive liar one that will only lie further in an attempt to cover previous lies.

The title Reverend applies to both a pastor and a chaplain. <<<This is a fact. Simply check it for yourself and stop bothering me. You are no better than him, if fact, you are worse.

Please sort this out with him so we don’t give him more credit than he deserves.

Stephen: YOU are the one that keeps heaping credit on him.  I have proven him to be a liar and you simply encouraged and perpetuated his lies by agreeing with his lies.
Stephen, You two have known each other for over 4 years. Yet Tradesecret denies he ever called himself Reverend. Yet you and BrotherD. Calls him Reverend.  So either you and BrotherD. is showing Tradesecret respect by calling him Reverend or you two are lying. So which is it?

@Lemming
In school I never did learn of the Australian Aboriginal massacres,
But I did learn of the Native American  deaths, loss of land,
I'm from America.

But even without an event being tied 'directly to one's own country,
There is value in 'world history, other countries histories and events,
'Lot of history I admit, but I'm not saying people can't find value elsewhere, or that they 'have to learn history, but I find it valuable, and so too others, I'd say.
Cancel culture suits you just fine. You were never interested in studies and stopped at high school.
You need to find your value elsewhere. History is about the past. Your uncertainty is your future.

Getting inflation back to target in America might require a recession
-> @Shila
Now we might be heading for a recession because of the higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserves to combat inflation. We need a new economic theory.
Read the post’s title. Like I said, a small recession might be necessary to avoid a serious inflationary spiral. 
Inflation is self correcting. Once demand drops inflation will drop. But a recession leads to higher unemployment.
