i mean i debated with a lot of christians and they all give me the weirdest answers when i go along with their stories and then ask them questions
thats the turning point for me...when it comes to God, logic gets thrown out of the window
I know the feeling. I don't get how people believe stories made up a hundred years ago about one-off events a bazillion years ago happened. I've debated a lot of them and they too give me the most laughable responses when I go along with their "just so" stories and ask them questions.
People are funny.

im having a hard time grasping on your view...
do you believe in God or no?
cuz your last post asking what event and such...you are taking his context to literal or maybe you're just responding in a sarcastic way?

I think it was the "one off events a bazillion years ago". Even I'm confused by that and I'm an agnostic.
The Jesus Christ story was based on an old Greek fable, that's the only thing I can recall right now but the rest of the Bible stories.....which ones were based on real events now?

You are talking about the anti-Christ kingdom actually. Globalism. One language.
It won't work.

Well, maybe that is because they weren't prepared to answer your questions. That doesn't mean that they are wrong or that they do not know the Lord. And that doesn't mean that the answers are not out there. I would love to answer any questions you might have.
But the truth is, that if you have the time to be here on this website talking about conspiracy theories and aliens then you have the time and mind to do research yourself. I am sure you have heard the basics of the gospel (Jesus died to forgive your sins, and if you believe on Him and repent you will be saved). So you will be judged for rejecting that, and not taking the time to find out if it is true.
Find people who know what they are talking about, who can answer the common questions that skeptics to the faith have. A good place to start would be Charlie Campbell (www.alwaysbeready.com) or Ravi Zacharias (you can watch his videos on youtube). These men are Christian scholars who teach, answer questions, and even debate for a living.
Good luck.

The whole Bible is true. It is not only historical, and even at times poetic, but it is also prophetic.
It predicts the future. We can trust what it says about the past, because we have seen so many prophesies come true to the "T"
The Jesus "story" is the most historically validated account on the planet. The entire Bible is credible. Not only is it internally consistent, it is externally verified, by secular historians as well as archeological evidence.
Jesus really died for you and then rose again. Believe on Him and you will be saved. Get a Bible and read it. Pray and ask Him to forgive you and save you.

Tell me though who really is good enough? Do words with out action=salvation?
How can someone say "I'm Saved, I'm forgiven" yet go on live and a life that's anything but Christ like? This is not meant towards every Christian, but in my world actions speak louder than words. I work at being a good person and trying to do whats right..and still if this urban legend comes true (which I doubt) then because I don't believe like the main stream Christians..I wont be attending the party.
