Zone1 What makes Christianity different from other religions?

[Paradoxical#1]

You should have applied your mind to understand the lessons taught in story of A&E and the the talking serpent.

You probably don't realize this but you are a victim of mind control, demonic possession. Trump is a brazen liar and con artist who has employed every trick of the trade to "beguile" millions of otherwise intelligent people who continue to support his bizarre ambitions to undermine the constitution, the separation of powers, civil rights, the rule of law, and the will of the people of the United Sates, to be a comical king or a vain thin skinned petty tyrant.

Do yourself a favor and watch this. Usually the last person to know that they've been duped are brainwashed.

Here I thought you were sane and rational, and you enter in the "beguiling" nonsense of a devil. People have been trotting that crap out for about 2,000 years now

 

[Paradoxical#1]

Not visions. Miracles.

Prove them. Where outside of your bible does it say Jesus did miracles that were witnessed by people not in the bible?

 

[Paradoxical#1]

So you say. What were they being persecuted for?

See the Middle ages and with burnings and blasphemy laws.

You don't understand. Go figure!

A victim of mind control was what the authors of scripture called being possessed by a devil, a talking serpent. In Hebrew the word for serpent is Nachash which is both a noun and adjective meaning serpent, brazen, shiny one, an/or someone who practices divination, the magical arts, sorcery, what is now well known as brainwashing or mind control. The stars of the ancient world.

What rational person would dismiss the reality of brainwashing as nonsense except for someone brainwashed?

Take your time. Do yourself a favor. Watch the video. Or look up MKUltra. Then try to tell me it's nonsense.

I don't do videos other than ones I select while outside or driving. That being said, the bible is a horrible document written by superstitious gullible afraid males in a time where a third grade education meant you were a leader.

There is no devil. He is all made up to put people in control and fear.

Humans are indoctrinated as part of our evolutionary makeup requiring us to believe authority figures, or we could die, be killed or be seriously harmed.

In scripture every creature from angels to devils and every one in between - pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, wild beasts of the field, rats, dogs, bottom feeders, creepy things that creep, etc.,- all represent human archetypes that reflect the heights and depths of human potential. Just like it is today all over the world in every language.

Devils are only imaginary or invisible to the blind.

Enjoy your nightmares, then of your imaginary creatures.

When do you believe Jesus was first worshipped as God and why?

it's very hard to know since the "gospels" are not actually extant.
BUT if anything attributable to PAUL is genuinely PAUL ---then Paul
started it. HOWEVER, I believe that Paul's motivation was the creation
of a form of Judaism that would seem ok in the Hellenistic world where
people could be declared "god" by an act of the Senate----

See the Middle ages and with burnings and blasphemy laws.

I have. I’m looking for a specific belief that you are arguing was the truth.

 

[ding]

Prove them. Where outside of your bible does it say Jesus did miracles that were witnessed by people not in the bible?

I have. The first Christians worshipped Jesus because they witnessed the miracles and Christ’s resurrection.

I’m going by the fact that Christians worship Jesus as God and that began immediately after his resurrection.

how do you know?

They did not. You have no proof of anyone OUTSIDE the bible who witnessed any miracles. At best you have people who believed stories and myths.

 

[ding]

how do you know?

Because that’s what non-Christian historians recorded.

Incorrect. Non-Christian historians recorded the first Christians worshipped Jesus as God. The 24,000 written manuscripts explain why.

what did non-christian historians record that impresses you?

The behavior of the first Christians corroborates the accounts.

I have no time to seek out ----THOUSANDS of ancient documents----I need the
"classic comic" version

 

[ding]

what did non-christian historians record that impresses you?

Let’s say it was claimed that God told Israel that they were chosen to establish his laws. Their establishing those laws would be corroborating evidence for that claim.

what behavior, recorded where?
