    Quoting the author "the Bible is the product of human authors who were writing in particular times and places with particular points to make and visions to advance. " This is false. The corroborating testimonies that prove the veracity of Scripture has sifted out any such writings, leaving us the preserved word of God as may be found, for example, in the Authorized King James Bible. "...prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (2Pe 3:16) We have the law of God written on our hearts (Heb 10:16), the testimony of the bretheren born again in the Spirit (Rev 12:11), the teaching of the Holy Ghost (Jn 14:26). If someone gives you any other writing and says it's God's word, you won't have the necessary witnesses to trust the claim. Ergo, the author is reasoning from a false premise.

    I was raised Baptist, but I am getting away from any religion. Any faith that worships a form of torture like crucifixion must be questioned. I do not see any Christ in any Christians. Its a money religion. I do not see forgiveness or compassion. I see hate and violence in Christianity today. As far as Christ the man, he gave his life believing his sacrifice was Gods will and I do not feel worthy of his sacrifice. If there is a God in heaven, I do not see how he can just sit there and watch us all fight and kill one another over our religious differences, thats not a God, thats a prison warden? Its not about right or left theology, its about how we treat one another, something I think you are blind to.

      Yes, get away from "religion" what Christianity calls for is a relationship. We clearly worship Jesus Christ and we are all thankful for His Sacrifice. We do not worship tourture. The Cross was a terrible weapon of the Roman's for tourture and death of slaves and 'criminals". By the way, none of us were "worthy" that's why we call it GRACE. Now, for your final question, why God allows evil, well post again and ZZI will try to walk you through that. Jesus did it all, all to Him I owe.

        Dr J you put it so well. Relationship with the Lord is the what christianity is all about.. There are many religions in the world. I personally do not want to be called a religious person, that could mean anything from pagonism to heathenism. I am a Christian. A child of God, a vessel of the Holy Spirit. I serve The Lord God . Thank you for your words

    "The whole Old Testement tells about Jesus comming and the things He would do and suffer. "

    Actually the TaNaKH (the correct, Jewish term for what Christians mistaken call the "old" Testament) says absolutely nohing about Jesus. That is a lie.

      You must be kidding? There are dozens of references, including the town.

    Ghostmasseur, You don't give a rip about God or anything to do with faith so why don't you join in on a blog you do give a rip about? The Old testement is full of references to Christ. The name Joshua is a name refering to Christ. David was told Christ would come from his blood line. You just don't see it because you are blind to it. What we call the books of the Bible Old and New only relate to BC&AC. We know what is in the"TaNaKH , it is Gods word to mankind.

    The Jews dis not kill Jesus. He gave up His own life to save all of us form our sins. Being God He could have come down of that cross and said to hell with all of us. He chose not to. He made Himself the perfect sacrifice for our sins which He placed on His body so that we would not have to go to hell and that we might become children of God. Stop blaming the Jews. Real Christians know it was not the Jews. Look in the mirror. We all are the reason He died. Look also at the really good news He did not stay dead. Forget blaming others for what Christ did of His own free will. The whole Old Testement tells about Jesus comming and the things He would do and suffer. Before the foundation of the earth God had set this plan in motion. God has a plan for the rest of time too it is in the Old and New Testements. Read the Bible. There is a life time of lessons to learn in it. Red, no man is worthy of what Christ did for us. It is a gift.. It is by Grace we are saved. Grace means we did not deserve heaven we deserve hell.. Don't give up on the Lord. You may not like what you see in church or in some christians. There is cuorruption in some yes, but there are many christians out here really serving the Lord. God is the judge. You live for Christ and let God take care of the others. Remember God loves you and though you might leave Him He will never leave you.

    It's about time the left takes another look at Ronald Reagan and all the other strident anti-communists of the 20th century like Barry Goldwater and Joseph R. McCarthy. After all it was a Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald and a communist Sirhan Sirhan who knocked off the Kennedy Brothers. Now check out my book at Amazon.com

    The Epoch Point by Spencer Zimmerman is a religious historical conspiracy thriller that follows evil throughout the existence of mankind, revealing the constant conflict between God and the devil, good and evil. Robert Davis is a young Airman fresh out of Air Force basic training who, after being held captive in China, suddenly finds himself unraveling the most immense conspiracy in history. On duty during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he soon uncovers hidden facts suggesting Russian and Iraqi involvement. While exploring abandoned military barracks at Kessler AFB in Mississippi, Davis and his friends discover the diary of Lee Harvey Oswald. Suddenly the Airmen find themselves the target of mysterious agents. As the clues surface, an evil emerges powerful enough to rewrite the entire history of humanity, not to mention kill two of his good friends. Before long the conspiracy takes on a supernatural form, marked by lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, the wrath of God. Davis finds himself torn by the unbelievable realization that God has a message for him. Nothing could prepare him for the final suspenseful twist the story takes, a Da Vinci style revelation that reaffirms his belief in Christ.

    Why do you say "Jesus is just a STORY! Never happened!!" chrazzi1? You don't know that you're right about that anymore than anyone that believes that it did happen. Do you??

    This is Rubbish! We Christians know Christ surrendered His life, no man could have "killed" Him. By God's grace, He died to pay the price for my sins to God. He paid my ransom. We celebrate His death, which ultimately led to His resurrection defeating hell and death. The Bible mandates love thy neighbor, and the respect for Israel's people is demanded. Who allows this to be written about Christian beliefs? It is untrue and propaganda.
