--> @ShilaNo.I'm just a human being, who like everyone else has no way of knowing what went on all those billions of years ago at the point of creation.Tales from 2000 years ago are what they are.
Isn’t it amazing that we know more about Jesus who lived 2000 years ago than we know about you from the profile you provided?
We know that Jesus belonged to a country, spoke Aramaic , was a carpenters son, followed Judaism, was religious reformer.
There are other aspects of Jesus that are of special interest to Christians.

--> @ShilaPick the objects (facts) you like in a religion before choosing the religion to follow. Be objective.look,i'm not disputing your claim that these individual "facts" are to be considered "objective"i'm even assuming that means they are all "true"but you seem to be glossing over the point that the one i "like" is going to be a purely SUBJECTIVEchoice on my partmy personal preference for one "fact" over another "fact" is SUBJECTIVEeven if the "facts" themselves are considered to be "OBJECTIVE"
Different religions offer different rewards. So it is up to the individual to consider these objective rewards and match it with their objective needs before they pick a religion.
All religions State their objectives. I narrowed their objectives in my example to help you make an objective choice.
They are all objective facts in each religion.
Jesus was a Jew that was killed so that sin would be forgiven.(fact)
72 virgins await every Muslim martyr in paradise.(fact)
Reincarnation is part o& the cycle of rebirths in Hinduism (fact).
Pick the objects (facts) you like in a religion before choosing the religion to follow. Be objective.

@rosends
--> @Shilareruns? You have posted this often and have nothing new to say.So I guess you deny the entirety of the Torah and therefore the gospels are built on nothingness and are similarly invalid. OK. Good luck to you with that.
The invention of the Jewish people is not new.
The Jews are the only people who have been dislodged from their country four times in their history. Under the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Medians, the Greeks, and now under Western rule.
The Jews were a tribal group surrounded by powerful neighbours like the Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians. There never made any contributions to math or science and most of their past were overshadowed by their more advanced neighbours. The Bible began as a book of the larger than life Patriarchs and the invention of the Jewish people in an attempt to reconstruct Jewish history with literary embellishment slanted towards success by inventing prophets and heroes where God rewarded the people when they obeyed his commandments and punished them when they failed. But history is not written in isolation and when the Jews tried to treat the bible as a historical record, contradictions began to expose their literary overreach. Circumcision can only take a people so far and covenants are no guarantee against reality nor can it compensate for the burden of memory carried by the Jews who wished they were better than their neighbours and invented a narrative that reflected their deepest desires.
Now that we know why the contradictions were necessary in the creation of the Jewish people we can try to piece together how these contradictions served their narrative.

-->@ShilaThe Old Testament did not work for the Jews. The Jews were repeated punished by God who even allowed their neighbours to invade and occupy their homeland throughout their history.The New Testament and the Gospels confirmed that.How does picking one over the other help your case Rabbi?The Torah did work for the Jews and it still does. In fact, your statement proves it, so thanks!The gospels are just add ons that have no relevance.How does attaching to fiction help your case?
from Ha'aretz Magazine, Friday, October 29, 1999)
Following 70 years of intensive excavations in the Land of Israel, archaeologists have found out: The patriarchs' acts are legendary stories, we did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, we did not conquer the land. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon. Those who take an interest have known these facts for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and doesn't want to hear about it
This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom. And it will come as an unpleasant shock to many that the God of Israel, YHWH, had a female consort and that the early Israelite religion adopted monotheism only in the waning period of the monarchy and not at Mount Sinai.
Most of those who are engaged in scientific work in the interlocking spheres of the Bible, archaeology and the history of the Jewish people—and who once went into the field looking for proof to corroborate the Bible story—now agree that the historic events relating to the stages of the Jewish people's emergence are radically different from what that story tells.
What follows is a short account of the brief history of archaeology, with the emphasis on the crises and the big bang, so to speak, of the past decade. The critical question of this archaeological revolution has not yet trickled down into public consciousness, but it cannot be ignored.
Israel Finkelstein, chairman of the Archaeology Department at Tel Aviv University, with archaeology historian Neil Asher Silberman, has just published a book called "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Text."
"The Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land [of Canaan] in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the twelve tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is the fact that the united kingdom of David and Solomon, described in the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom."
Jerusalem was essentially a cow town, not the glorious capital of an empire. These findings have been accepted by the majority of biblical scholars and archaeologists for years and even decades.
The tales of the patriarchs -- Abraham, Isaac and Joseph among others -- were the first to go when biblical scholars found those passages rife with anachronisms and other inconsistencies. The story of Exodus, one of the most powerful epics of enslavement, courage and liberation in human history, also slipped from history to legend when archaeologists could no longer ignore the lack of corroborating contemporary Egyptian accounts and the absence of evidence of large encampments in the Sinai Peninsula ("the wilderness" where Moses brought the Israelites after leading them through the parted Red Sea).

All these arguments were considered and abortion was declared legal for the last fifty years.
It is silly to re-litigate what was settled law for over fifty years.
What is different is the makeup of the Supreme Court . The decision was not based on any change in facts but was solely politically driven.

I don't think you hate babies or the unborn,I think instead we hold different values to different degrees,Also likely different perceptions of what is.If they didn't exist, I wouldn't be bothered,But they 'do exist, to my mind, even unborn, at 'some point,Whether materially, or personhood, (Maybe on personhood)The death of new human life is simply not something I want to encourage.
Raising a child is a bigger commitment than consenting to have sex. The person has to be prepared to raise, care and provide for the child which requires adequate financial, psychological, emotional maturity to undertake this commitment. So unless the person is adequately equipped and prepared Abortion should be an option to prevent a lifetime of suffering and hardship on the child and parent.
Abortion was legal for 5 decades and it worked as a solution for the unprepared and unwilling.

@rosends
--> @ShilaIf it was not a Jewish custom that involves releasing someone found guilty of a crime, at Passover or at any other time. the Jewish crowd would have denounce or rejected Pilate’s fabrication of Jewish customs.Or this is just more proof that the account is inaccurate. If, without corroboration, you see the text of the gospels as self-proving, then that's fine. It is ahistorical and counter to other texts, but if that's the way you go, then best of luck with that.
The accounts in the Bible had a disastrous effect on the Jews. Their Holy Temple and Holy city Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, the Romans slaughtered the Jews and replaced Judaism with the Roman Catholic Church which has over a billion followers.
What further facts are the Jews looking for or trying to contradict when history back the Roman occupation of Israel during biblical times? The Jewish disciples of Jesus even went over to the Roman side.
The Holocaust would not have been justified if Christians were not convinced the Jews were Christ killers. Isn’t it a bit late to deny the Bible?

@Uragirimono
--> @Public-ChoiceA baby is the same. You volunteered and signed the contract to take care of it should the situation arise. Just like the hospitals sign the contract to take care of the other people.Just like all of your other examples, hospitals can change their mind -- they can deny someone service even if they already promised it. Individual employees can also quit and find new jobs. Contracts can be nullified. If they can't, they're prison sentences.So if a hospital worker can consent to working and then say "never mind, I want to stop", how can a pregnant person who consented to being pregnant say "never mind I want to stop"?Can you name another instance where a person, once they agree to something, is not legally allowed to change their mind?
Hospitals have to follow guidelines which are based on prevailing laws. If the law changes the hospital policy effected by the change also has to change.
Humans too are subject to these laws. If Abortion is deemed illegal in a State the person will suffer the consequences for violating the law.

@rosends
--> @ShilaOther than this reference in John, do you have any evidence that this supposed practice actually existed? There is nothing in Jewish law that involves releasing someone found guilty of a crime, at Passover or at any other time.Of course, crucifiction wasn't allowed under Jewish law and the judicial methods bear no resemblance to Jewish law, so a random non-Jewish reference seems equally useful.
The ultimate evidence to support the Biblical quotes was the people taking up pilate’s offer and choosing Barabbas over Jesus.
The people were there and heard the offer. If it was not a Jewish custom that involves releasing someone found guilty of a crime, at Passover or at any other time. the Jewish crowd would have denounce or rejected Pilate’s fabrication of Jewish customs.
Even the Romans did not object to Pilate’s offer to the crowd. Here the truth prevailed.

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
The story (henceforth: Barabbas episode) is mentioned in all four Gospels: Mark 15:6-15, Matt. 27:15-26, Luke 23:18-24, and John 18:40.
It is in that context that Jesus was crucified. The crowd cheered for the release of Barabbas instead.

So am I to believe that interracial organ transplants have many more complications than within-race transplants because of a socioeconomic concept?Do we prescribe BiDil to only black people because of a socioeconomic concept from the 16th century? Don’t kid yourselfLet’s just be honest with each other here: I know that you don’t care that white characters are being purposely replaced. You might even actively support it as many liberals do. But don’t try to spew out these liberal talking points that are entirely based on an egalitarian fever dream.It’s fine that you don’t care about these characters being replaced, but don’t try to cloak it in these arguments saying a clearly white character isn’t white. Don’t pretend to be naive and say this isn’t happening

@Stephen
--> @ShilaNope. There was no insurrection at that point in time. This insurrection had already happened, and this is what they were all on trial for. The bible clearly states that there HAD been an insurrection- past tense. And that Barabas was one of those that had committed insurrection "WITH HIM", Jesus.
Barabbas, a well-known criminal who had been imprisoned “for an insurrection in the city, and for murder” (Luke 23:19). But he was not as popular as Jesus. Therefore less of a threat to the Romans.
Wrong again. (1) The city mentioned here is Jerusalem. (2) The population of that city didn't even know who Jesus was. (3) Barabbas was a zealot and a murder of Romans. Who had Jesus murdered?
In Matthew 21:1–11, Mark 11:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, and John 12:12–19, Jesus descends from the Mount of Olives towards Jerusalem, and the crowds lay their clothes on the ground to welcome him as he triumphantly enters Jerusalem. The triumphal entry is traditionally commemorated on Palm Sunday.
Jesus fit the description of the promised messiah that all Jews were familiar with from reading of the scriptures.
(1) There is absolutely no evidence concerning dispensation offered by Rome to Jewish zealot murderers. It is rubbish that this was any type of Jewish custom.It is more likely that this was the gospel writer are alluding to the two goats of Yom Kippur as told in Leviticus.
Pilate refers to the custom of releasing one prisoner at the time of Passover.
FACT. There was never any such Jewish custom. If you insist to the contrary, I would like you to produce the evidence that supports your claim other than the bible.
The Bible quotes Pilate referring to this custom.
John 18:39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.
I have said my theory is that the turning of the tables was a lot more than just a girly hissy fit thrown by Jesus. I believe it was a full-blown rebellion. And it was this that had forced the Romans hand and led to the arrest of all involved to the delight of many of Jewish the high priesthood.
Jesus was definitely a threat to the Jewish high priesthood because he called them brood of vipers.
I don't know how old you are shila, but name calling the high priesthood would be the last reason they had to want Jesus gone. The Priesthood had a lot to lose if Jesus was to become king priest. They were puppet priests put in place by Rome. It was a false and corrupt priesthood.
There Are Many Reasons They Wanted Jesus Dead
There were a number of things about Jesus that infuriated the religious leaders. These included.
- The claims that He made.
- The deeds that He did.
- His threat to their religious system.
- His threat to their way of life.
- The people with whom He socialized.
- The lack of respect He had for their religious traditions.
These six things caused outraged among the religious rulers. Consequently they wanted to see Jesus dead.
Jesus wanted to see himself dead so he would fulfil the prophecy.
Jesus predicted His death at least three times in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), and the book of John offers even more predictions.
The first time Jesus predicted His death is detailed in Matthew 16:21–23, Mark 8:31–32, and Luke 9:21–22. Jesus had just fed the multitudes, and He said that the “Son of Man must suffer many things” (Mark 8:31); be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes; be killed; and be raised again. Peter then rashly began to rebuke Jesus, and Christ responded, “Get behind me, Satan!” (Matthew 16:33; Mark 8:33). Jesus knew that His death must happen. It was necessary in God’s plan to save the world.
Jesus predicted His death a second time in Matthew 17:22–23, Mark 9:30–32, and Luke 9:43–45. This occurred shortly after the Transfiguration, when Peter, James, and John saw Christ in His heavenly glory. Perhaps this was the reason the disciples were so confused by Jesus telling them He was going to die. At this point, they believed His kingdom was just around the corner. Despite their lack of understanding, they were “afraid to ask” for clarification (Mark 9:32; Luke 9:45).
Matthew 20:17–19, Mark 10:32–34, and Luke 18:31–34 describe the third time Jesus predicted His death. He spoke to His disciples as they were heading up toward Jerusalem for Passover, and He told them how He would be mocked, scourged, crucified, and then rise again. On this occasion also, the disciples did not understand Jesus’ saying because the meaning was hidden from them. They would soon learn what Jesus meant in the events of Good Friday and following.

The pro-life position is predicated on biology and embryology, not religion.
Actually Abortion was based on science and biology which calculated fetus viability.
3 key facts about fetal viability and its pivotal role in US abortion laws
Fetal viability refers to how soon a fetus can be born and survive outside of its mother's womb.
Fetal viability is typically set at 23 weeks of gestation but varies depending on certain factors.
Currently, 18 states have tried to ban abortion before viability including Mississippi and Texas.
Pro-life position was based on religion.

--> @Best.KoreaI think children are the most universally oppressed people on the planet.The pro-corporeal replies here have practically proven that convenience/comfort over adults is always valued over what actually helps a child grow into a healthy, functioning adult.I also think there's a bit of Stockholm Syndrome going on with most adults, because if we honestly admitted how much terrible stuff we do to kids, we'd have to admit how much terrible stuff was done to us and address the scars that were left. Most adults have no desire to do that.
You got it so right.

DeSantis is just the worstest leader ever… who will be the next POTUS in a landslide. Where’s the justice?
The rebuilding of Florida will be the highest priority of Floridians. DeSantis will be seen as begging for federal handouts.

--> @ShilaIf you are educated you can turn to moral philosophy. Moral philosophy is the branch of philosophy that contemplates what is right and wrong. It explores the nature of morality and examines how people should live their lives in relation to others.kant's "moral imperative" is a pretty good guidelinebut the actual PRAXIS is still tailored to each individualand broadly open to interpretation
That is why religions are seen as the true custodians of morality.

Nope. There was no insurrection at that point in time. This insurrection had already happened, and this is what they were all on trial for. The bible clearly states that there HAD been an insurrection- past tense. And that Barabas was one of those that had committed insurrection "WITH HIM", Jesus.
Barabbas, a well-known criminal who had been imprisoned “for an insurrection in the city, and for murder” (Luke 23:19). But he was not as popular as Jesus. Therefore less of a threat to the Romans.
He was a murderer of Romans ffs. Who had Jesus murdered? Insurrection was an attempt to overthrow Roman rule. An armed attempt to overthrow Roman rule.And like I have pointed out; it is hardly likely that Pontius Pilate would have released Jesus Barrabas a known murderer of Roman's. you need to read your bible carefully. And stop reading something that isn't even there.
Barabbas, in the New Testament, a prisoner mentioned in all four Gospels who was chosen by the crowd, over Jesus Christ, to be released by Pontius Pilate in a customary pardon before the feast of Passover.
(1) There is absolutely no evidence concerning dispensation offered by Rome to Jewish zealot murderers. It is rubbish that this was any type of Jewish custom.It is more likely that this was the gospel writer are alluding to the two goats of Yom Kippur as told in Leviticus.
Pilate refers to the custom of releasing one prisoner at the time of Passover.
John 18:39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
I have said my theory is that the turning of the tables was a lot more than just a girly hissy fit thrown by Jesus. I believe it was a full-blown rebellion. And it was this that had forced the Romans hand and led to the arrest of all involved to the delight of many of Jewish the high priesthood.
Jesus was definitely a threat to the Jewish high priesthood because he called them brood of vipers.
But the real rebellion started (66-70) AD.
I agree. He was also a threat to Rome too.
Is it ironic the Romans went on to destroy the holy temple and city and replaced Judaism with the Roman Catholic Church.

@Uragirimono
--> @ShilaI didn't disagree, I asked for clarification.If spite is my motivator, whom am I spiteful towards?
The obvious impact of your change was on Christians.
I was a pro-life Christian.I am no longer pro-life nor Christian
Why do you think Abortion will reduce pro-life Christians?

After you lost your faith you also became anti pro-life. So you are an abortionist by spite.
