but christianity is a religion

and you follow a religion

@Hugh If it makes you feel better to call it a Religion than do so. I simply do not because that term links me to the works based belief systems of the World. People have been using scripture out of context for ages and creating false belief systems. I was apart of "Religion" for years and it turned me into a proud arrogant pharisee.

It is a part of the belief system whether it fits your reality or not
you literally follow a book written by man

GOD proclaimed that HIS Holy Spirt wrote the Word. I have gone through many doubts in my walk and every time GOD has solidified the Truth of HIS Word. Believers of the Psuedoscience Religion have faith in the men that wrote their religious text without ever bringing GOD into the picture. Psuedoscience is a Religion, a belief system that does not hold up to the true Scientific method. Thus it is by faith that one believes in Psuedoscience. We all worship something. I choose to worship GOD, not man!

>I believe in bible because it is said in the bible that holy spirit wrote it

@Hugh I find it rather interesting that you choose to scrutinize me for believing the Word of GOD, when your entire reality is based on all you have learned from words in all the "Books" you were commanded to read in the indoctrination camps we all attended.We all worship, we all have faith, we all have a belief system. I choose to worship GOD the Creator!

okay i hate discord

my question is how do you whats the word of GOD

and im an atheist

@Hugh I appologize if I sound a bit irritated, but I am quite honestly. I am constantly ridiculed for believing in GOD.

I share my faith because I care about souls!

no thats fine
only reason im questioning you is because we're in the debate hall

GODs Word is alive! I have walked through so much doubt and every time GOD has been true and HE revealed it in HIS Word!

I thought if you're not religious then you'd be simply a "theist" but then you claim to not be religious while believing in the bible

bible is a religious text

Quite honestly I would rather there be a discussion hall. Being in a debate format implies I am here to fluff up my ego and be "right". Coming to CHRIST, I found how wrong I had been.

@Hugh I have already explained why I do not attached my faith to "Religion". If that is what you desire to call it then that does not offend me.

It seems as though humanity tenaciously desires for all things to fit in the socially accepted boxes. I really do not care about the secular standards of society.

I love me some Jesus =]

So what things outside the bible, collaborate with it?

Re is a prefix meaning "return," and ligare means "to bind;" in other words, "return to bondage." aka religion

The Pharisees were "Religious" and they were the ones that JESUS opposed!

@DrPeper There is a plethra of Historical information that Citizen has shared in this Discord. Physical evidence of the events found in the Bible.

well, no there isnt much really

all the accounts from Roman sources are talking about chrisitians about 100ish after Jesus

http://www.accordingtothescriptures.org/prophecy/353prophecies.html

theres a helpful link =]

that is the bible supporting Jesus

yea, but also predating Jesus by a few thousand years

but if i was making something else based on Jewish teachings, i would make sure they match up too

@DrPeper I would honestly be a bit skeptical of the information coming from the vantage point of the Roman empire.

its not bad that you are unawres of the bible, theres time to learn, hopefully =]

i asked for things outside the bible

Mitty, my point there is nothing from around the time that supports the bibl

e

outside of the bible is lies, and unverified truths, why would u seek truth outside of the bible?

because if multiple sources go against the bible , why would i trust the one source that is different

you havent showed that it is 100% the truth
