Why should I believe in Jesus Christ?

i see
if your question is sincere, why not ask someone who can give you a sincere, informed answer, instead of a bunch of atheists, perverts, morons, and bots?

And?
I put my faith in Christ, because He loves me and I love Him back.

it's just an assumption that is reasonable

What it is is a falsifiable hypothesis. If there are intelligent aliens in the galaxy there should be some evidence of them. There's no reason to believe that they're not there, except that they're not there.

Meanwhile the evidence is literally fucking everywhere. How many churches devoted to Jesus are there in your town? They are the result of 2,000 years of documented history with literally hundreds of thousands of witnesses, all going back to that one moment in history when the Actual God manifested himself as the Christ as a man named Jesus in Nazareth ~0AD.

Literally the most important thing to ever happen, that's why the WHOLE WORLD marks that as the first year.
As opposed to the deafening silence of the empty sky.

The atheist, perverts and morons are a better representation of society than the goody shoes normies. Why? They don't fake their feelings.

Like I said in a previous post: most of them talk about love, but they're all competitive, hoping not to help others but helping themselves spiritually and socially. They're just part of the system that I believe Jesus tried to fight against.

But I think I'm the only one who sees things this way.

you dont know if Jesus is real, you dont know of anything, all you got is a bible book and that is not evidence, the best the bivle could be used for is hearsay (a rumor)

no matter what somebody believes everybody in the whole world is agnostic because nobody knows if god exists, but i will say science in search of the truth has disproven the bible, so the abrahamic god is obviously a mythology, is is safe to assume all religions are man made & based on god myths

yeah go ask someone who already believes in it. don't use logic or let yourself become worked up
i never said they were in the galaxy.

there should be some evidence of them

why? space is pretty big, parts of it we won't even ever see, google the cosmological horizon
the rest of your post is anecdotal.
you could say exactly the same about many other religions which you are somehow not interested in

you dont know if Jesus is real,

Yes I do.

all you got is a bible book and that is not evidence

Yes it is.

the best the bivle could be used for is hearsay (a rumor)

That is literally true of EVERY historical figure before the invention of the camera.
You're saying pics or it didn't happen for something 2,000 years before iPhones were invented.

I put my faith in Christ, because He loves me and I love Him back.

And that's between you and your God. But honestly? I don't think you're capable of loving anything but yourself. You talk about love but with hate in your heart.

b..but he posted a globohomo animation voiced over by a liberal faggot sodomite. how could you refute him.

space is pretty big, parts of it we won't even ever see, google the cosmological horizon

And it's been around for a long time.
Google the Fermi Paradox.

you could say exactly the same about many other religions

Can you? which other religion makes this claim with any degree of seriousness?
The Jews and Muslims don't claim their prophets as divine, mearly hearing the voice of the divine, and their prophets both point to Jesus as the Christ (that's why the Old Testament is included in the bible).
The Buddhists, Daoists and Confuscians don't claim any divinity at all AFAIK.

So hypothetically any religion COULD claim it, yet none do.

ugh, you don't know me.

you don't know me.

Yes, I do. Because I used to say "I love God, and He loves me" "Christ is my savior" read the bible, thought it was the manual of how to live, but the truth is: none of this makes much sense, and I never actually felt the void being filled. It can make you ACT like it does, but it doesn't. Most people don't want to look at their feelings and be honest with themselves. They all judge others based on feelings and acts they feel and do themselves.

And that's why I... Hate living in a society.

They don't fake their feelings.

of course they do
when they have feelings at all, that is; a huge amount of the traffic on Anon Babble is bots
and even if you happen to interact with a real person here, they will lie for their own amusement

science in search of the truth has disproven the bible

this is a moronic statement that shows that you know nothing about the Bible or about science

That's got nothing to do with me. That's you struggling to find faith.
Once you recognized that this actually happened, that Jesus literally went through all of this just so we didn't have to suffer for our own sins...
I can't even.
That's more love than I can even comprehend, so I give all I can back knowing it will never be enough.

And it's been around for a long time.

Google the Fermi Paradox.
it doesn't really matter, i never professed blind faith that aliens existed just that it is a reasonable assumption, but even if its not, the point if bringing it up was to show that it's basically impossible to believe in your specific religion unless born on this specific planet during this very very short time where it is the dominant religion in society and culture. which obviously, coincidentally is also why you believe in it. no one "discovers" christianity on their own without prior knowledge because it doesnt make any fucking sense.

Can you? which other religion makes this claim with any degree of seriousness?

what claim? that god manifested himself as a man? is that a prerequisite for a religion to be true?

Once you recognized that this actually happened, that Jesus literally went through all of this just so we didn't have to suffer for our own sins...

Girl, what sins? And let's assume all this is real for a moment, that there were sins and Jesus died for said sins: why are there still people going to hell? And most importantly, why should we even care about sins? Isn't that a natural part of our lives? Don't we give up our will to live accordingly to the law of God to live accordingly to the law of men?

unless born on this specific planet during this very very short time where it is the dominant religion in society and culture.

And you WERE.
It's almost as if God cares about you personally.

which obviously, coincidentally is also why you believe in it

So what's wrong with you?

no one "discovers" christianity on their own without prior knowledge

Of course not. That's what the Church is for. That's why Christians are called up to evangelize to those who have not heard the truth about Jesus.
But you don't need evangelism, you need something else. Something I can't give you no matter how much we both wish I could.
I do wish it tho. Believe that.

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’

Heracles/Hercules Ripoff, jews cannot create they can only destroy......

why are there still people going to hell?

For rejecting Christ.

And most importantly, why should we even care about sins? Isn't that a natural part of our lives?

That's kinda the crazy bit, we shouldn't.
We should acknowledge that we are sinners and that we're not worthy of Christ's sacrifice, but it's kinda the weirdest feeling when you're been genuinely absolved and recieved communion - you just kinda want to not sin.

And the gospels are full of that message. It's really not about following the letter of the bible, it's about loving Christ and living a life of love and compassion and following Christs example.

Love, love is what it's really all about. EVERYTHING ELSE is just bullshit and nonsense to excuse shitty behaviour.

It's almost as if God cares about you personally.

but from other religious povs, it's exactly the same thing dont you see? how can you say that Allah doesn't care about me personally? after all i was born at just the right moment to become a devout muslim and live free from sin. and yesterday i had a really meaningful transcendent experience where i received his love

So what's wrong with you?

how do you mean?

I do wish it tho. Believe that.

i believe it. and even if from my pov it is delusional, i guess your intentions are good

i just don't think we will get anywhere discussing this further

Love, love is what it's really all about.

I died for YOU

Even though you never asked for this

I don't understand this forced love. Life feels like one big job where I am tied to God and all of these people in the world.

I was told there was a guy at the mall last week who said he was the second coming. I was skeptical, then the person told me he performed miracles.

Due to the words of a guy I don't know telling me about a guy i didn't see doing things that are reasonably impossible, I am convinced that this was indeed the second coming.
See the problem here? With calling something no one saw "proof"?

I'm not schizophrenic enough to believe in imaginary friends.

how can you say that Allah doesn't care about me personally?

The word Allah is just Arabic for God. It's literally a direct translation. We're not disagreeing on who God is, we're disagreeing on what God said.
Muslims don't live free of sin. That's why they can't eat pork and shit.
Christians can do whatever we want, and we want to do good, so we do.

how do you mean?

OMG read your own post.

the point if bringing it up was to show that it's basically impossible to believe in your specific religion unless born on this specific planet during this very very short time where it is the dominant religion in society and culture. which obviously, coincidentally is also why you believe in it.

All of that is also true for you and yet you don't.
It is literally just this. Christianity is the religion that is handed to YOU PERSONALLY because you had the good fortune to be born on this planet at this time and get to just be this close to God all the time.

And yet you don't.

I was given the exact same offer and I took it. Lucky me.

This seems like a Jewish post.

Yeah except THOUSANDS of people saw Christ perform miracles and conduct his earthly ministry. That's the point to the meme

there are churches therefore God is real

Non sequitur

hundreds of thousands of witnesses

Name one. Even the earliest gospel (john) was written by a guy who never saw Jesus.

the most important thing ever happened

According to whom? You? Nothing you said here is proof of anything. Not even close. You don't even seem to know what the word proof means at this point...

Another Jewish post

This seems like a Jewish post.

The irony is that the Jews want to enslave all of us, and religion is part of their control mechanism.

the earliest gospel (john)

Mark is the earliest gospel
John is the latest

There's no Irony.
For 2,000 years the Jews have tried to destroy Christ's Church.
For 2,000 years you have hurt yourselves trying.
After 2,000 years you still haven't learnt your lesson.

A cursed race.

Love, love is what it's really all about. EVERYTHING ELSE is just bullshit

but if that's true i don't see why you have to add all this extraneous detail and conditional dogma on to it. if love is omnipresent and contains all things as itself it would already encompass and contain anything you can think of including christianity. why limit yourself and draw up borders where there is no need? just some thoughts

thousands of people saw him

Oh sorry.
Thousands of people saw the guy at the mall.
You know for a fact it's true cause I'm telling you now.
Don't you dare tell me that hearing thousands of people say the same thing = fact.
First of all, you can name zero of them. Second of all, the first gospel was written in 80ad. Even that guy could have been full of shit or heard it from someone full of shit.

Like dude it's turtles all the way down. Prove Jesus exists. "Thousands saw him' ok, prove thousands saw him. "Well someone wrote a book" ok, prove that guy wasn't lying, or that he wasn't lied to, or that some broken telephone shit didn't happen, or that some local government didn't think "hey what's a great story we can tell to unify the people?"

Millions of children have seen Santa clause. I have better proof millions of children have seen Santa clause than you have proof thousands of people saw Jesus. Is Santa clause real?

Oh no I mixed 2 names up.
Still written in 70ad mf

asking for evidence = Jewish

You're making a strong case to OP for Judaism.

i don't see why you have to add all this extraneous detail and conditional dogma on to it.

I'm not.
That's what I'm saying.
Accept Christ's love. It actually is that simple.

You know for a fact it's true cause I'm telling you now.

But it isn't true tho is it?
You don't believe it.
And the reason you don't believe it is because you would have asked for video evidence. Because we have that now.

That was not true 20 years, it certainly wasn't true 2,000 years ago. Prove George Washington exists without relying on eye witness testimony.

You are Jewish tho.

You are so close. remove one word

we have video evidence now so you need that.

but because back in 0AD we didn't have video evidence, that means you dont need it and everything everyone said was true.

I have to say, and I genuinely, genuinely mean this. Of everyone I've ever engaged with this on, you are by A WIDE MARGIN the absolute dumbest. You arguing for your faith is actually the worst thing you can do for your faith because you'd scare anyone on the fence away with your insanely bad logic. Do Jesus a favour and shut up.

Because he cleans my pool.
He’s real.
He speaks Tagalog and Engrish

Captcha “0GMAD”

lol u mad bro?

I'm so sorry Emily.

I know it's difficult, but we were never meant to have this discussion. I made this thread out of envy of religious people. Of their happiness. I always thought there was something wrong with them. But the problem is me.

I hope you can forgive me.

Have a good day, babe.

George Washington

We have his body still you mook.
Tbere are ways to verify people's existence. Many ways. It isn't just "believe my words". This is called evidence. Reasons to believe something exists that can literally only mean they existed. In his case we have his body, and many very official, verifiable documents written by qualified people in official positions and even a bloodline.

For Jesus. We have a book with almost nothing in it that can actually be verified or corroborated by any other source at all. That's the problem. It's something one guy said that seems to have caught on and resonated with people.

More people have believed dumber things. Scientology is a good example. There's a book, and lots of people believe it. So it's all true, right?

Believe in him and send your money. He died on a cross, that ain't funny.

I wasn't talking to Jew, I was talking to the other Anon.
You don't even realize how much of a fucking meme you are. The sadducees and the pharisees pull this exact same shit against Jesus himself 2,000 years ago.

In TWO THOUSAND YEARS you haven't learned a fucking thing. You haven't changed, or adapted, or evolved, or altered even one iota.

Endless forgiveness sweetheart. You can't do anything that would make me hate you.

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g]

other people asked for proof

therefore it's real

Dude, holy god fucking damn.

This is called evidence.

Yeah evidence like a consistent historical record.
In which Jesus is not just present, He is, BY FAR, the most important thing to ever happen.

That's why lots of churches = bible true because if you follow back the cause and effect all the way back, you get to that moment 2,000 years ago when a virgin had a baby in a manger.

You're Jewish
