And if he was God, why talk about himself , all the while dying for another
The gist of my argument is this, jesus dies, and tells his commune that when you die your dead, however all the while as all this happens someone else writes his lifes journies 250 years later, hell will anyone remember Michael Jordan 250 years from now?
That is the three million dollar question

I guess, it just became a big matter of "impression management". For example, if you read Samuel very carefully, David appears to be one ambitious and tyrannical SOB. But since the book was probably written during the time when the Israelites were invaded, they needed to change the message to conform to their need which is lifting up their spirits in times of crisis.

Ok, so my next question is this:And he changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth
kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them that know understanding. He revealeth
the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him." ( Dn 2: 20-22 )
Ultimately, if the bible is written by god wright?
Why if god puts all the kings in power does he pass judgement on hiself with revelations
Does he ultimately get pissed off with his decisions and hand his smite out on his pasture for his own judgement callsedit on 15-3-2012 by allprowolfy because: (no reason given)

Kinda of hard to believe that this god loves me, when he puts leaders in charge that he knows that he is going to at a later time throw fire and brim-stone my way
Thanks, was not sure if i was taking it wrong.

As far as the Old Testament goes, you are correct. That's how God was portrayed. When you look at the new testament, however, God appears to be one big loving dad. Like I said, it's a matter of impression management for the readers for the time these books were written.edit on 15-3-2012 by allprowolfy because: (no reason given)edit on 15-3-2012 by allprowolfy because: (no reason given)

Honestly.
Then what the heck are you doing putting down adults who've managed to come to some sort of heart-felt and studied conclusions? Maybe you should pipe down about Christianity a little until you feel like you actually know something?
It's hard to take you seriously, brother. Maybe you'll discard enough silly ideas until you come to the truth one day. I hope so.
Again, do the due research autowrench. I'm noticing a disturbing trend from you. For the purpose of being anti-christian, you seem to be readily willing to sacrifice common knowledge and concretized evidence. Perhaps your weird adulation to the Sumerian culture is blurring your vision.
The reason I am always taking on Christianity is simple, if let loose, Religion will be the State Religion, and people like me will be burned at the stake like before, make no mistake about it.
You know, that is what I wonder. Why didn't this man, infused with supernatural magickal powers, able to walk on water, raise the dead, alter the molecules of water...why didn't he write a journal, or at least why didn't one or two of his men write down something about him? The principle writer (Paul) about Jesus never met him! Even his place of birth, Nazareth, did not exist in the 1st century AD. The fact is, we have absolutely no trace or mention of Jesus’ exploits anywhere until the gospels were written decades after the purported events. Even Paul, the great proselytizer of Christianity, never quotes his Lord, but instead habitually turns to Jewish scripture for divine endorsement. Why is that? one wonders? Wouldn't he have at least been well known during his time with all his miracles? It is the major quandary in Christianity. Not so much that his birth went unrecorded, but that his adult life and 'alleged' miracles, including those connected with his 'alleged' crucifixion went totally unnoticed by any historian of the time

I know I already wrote this down in this thread once. But to be sure you get it. You know, think Wrench. You yourself just pointed out something on the scale of a miracle that includes everyone who has come to believe on him, Christ.
The fact that he did die in such away that was commonality ? Absolutely in obscurity to history ? He should be just another brutal Roman crucifixion ! Not withstanding at all from the rest. Why isn't that the case ? Instead of
the millions who have suffered a horrible death rather than curse him. It 's supposed to make you wonder.
But you will likely never admit to how backwards you look at things. Oh wait let me not forget . Because you've been so traumatised.
