I didn't even mention your hero but you went right there.
How do you know what GOD can do? The SON was downloaded by the HOLY SPIRIT into MARY's womb to dwell among men nine months later.
The Bible tells us so...immortals cannot/do not die...
CHRIST's human body went to the tomb. HIS SPIRIT HE commended to the FATHER while on the cross. CHRIST was not killed. ALL that occurred was CHRIST's will to do the will of HE FATHER. CHRIST was given a new body so that all believers would receive a new body.
Christianity is determined by how one feels about Donald Trump? Yes, this confirms all the reports.
Not really. The Old Testament can be considered Middle Eastern, but the New Testament was written for a Greek audience. Cultural Greeks living under Roman rule. About as Western as you can get.
This is true, but the Council of Nicaea would be 300 years after the gospels were written and churches began forming. Society went from non-punishing pantheons of gods to an authoritarian mono-god who demands obedience. The Pope filled this role seamlessly.
I feel Christians voted conservatively for the conservative party, and not a social party. Woke ideas, promotion of gay marriage, unrestrained immigration, healthcare permissive abortion demands, transgender pressure for appeasement regardless of parental permission, political/governmental graft --- all worked together to push the buttons of those seeking a fair deal for ordinary average American citizens who just want to be left alone..
That's cool an' all, but the other poster said people who hate Donald Trump aren't Christian. Sounds like heresy to me. Very cultish. All the reports are true.
It arose of out of Judaism, a middle eastern religion- which in turn arose out of other ancient middle eastern religions like Zorastrianism and North African religions. There was no western influence on the thinking or teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as far as I am aware- maybe on his followers in the form of the tradition of Greco-Roman mystery cults which were so prevalent at the time.
OK. But none of this has anything to do with the rise of modern science nor the industrial revolution in the west, as the poster I was responding to was claiming. That stuff really arose in spite of Christianity, not because of it- and owed more to pagan Greco-Roman culture and outlook than a Christian one. That outlook went into hibernation with the conversion of Constantine, for the thousand+ years of the interregnum of the dark ages. I suspect modern science and tech would have arisen much sooner if Christianity had not come into the picture.
If that were true he didn't die, which would make his sacrifice null and void...Peter states that Jesus died in the flesh but was resurrected in the spirit...
Your Witnesses regard for humans only being mere bodies, gives you this wrong and confused perspective. ON the cross JESUS said, "FATHER, into thy hands do I commend MY SPIRIT." And CHRIST went to paradise to be with the repentant thief on the cross to release believers from their holding station.
Consider that China developed gunpowder technology but refused to advance scientific understanding of the world
I voted policy and not for a figurehead. I'm a CHRISTIAN and didn't seek after a personal agenda for personal gain, but for the sake of true and honest Liberty and not handouts. Are gay individuals "cultish"? Is the Public School Teacher's Convention "cultish"? Are the transgender "cultish"?
True, but the NT authors lived in a world dominated by Greek thought. John's use of "logos" is a prime example.
Arab Muslims studied advanced mathematics while Christian intellectuals pondered the mind of God while creating really amazing liqueurs.
I cant even begin to express how wrong you are and I am honestly shocked that this idea is still circulating. Medieval monks created everything the modern world is constructed on and the Classical World ethics are so alien to us you would relish in the horror. Consider that there was not a single major abolitionist in the Classical period and that up to 1/3 of the population at the time was slaves. 2 million people died in the gladiatorial games over the time period of Rome. Aren't you happy that we have baseball and football instead of arabs being crushed by elephants in arenas? Romans practiced infanticide and the sodomizing of boys with no moral issue. And no, they were not close to modern science at all.
Nice!!!!
What pray tell is this? More blabber? Did you see the new entertainment district in Salt Lake? Should Mormons be building entertainment districts using a MAGA slogan?
The New Testament
1)Christianity assumes an ordered world that can be understood--->Scientific endeavor is therefore noble.
