**Boston 1775**
"And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment."

There are more historic references to lost and dead civilizations that some sources never even mention and the ones that do mention it confirm it. For example, if your going to disproove Jesus based on lack of historic records, there are even Less of emperor Nero so if Jesus didnt exist, neither did most historical figures before him. Also if Jesus did not exist, why did the calender go from BC, to DC based on the year of his death?

Heck Atlantis was only mentioned once by a philosopher and people believe it was a real place even though that is the ONLY historic reference to it.

The key to destroying an argument is to get the other person to make a circle around what they define as the truth. If you find even one contradiction outside of it, their entire argument is invalid.

Now if you want to watch them break their world view you have to trick them into contradicting their own argument in a way that they become aware of it without you pointing it out, but self awareness is a requirement.

Absolute statements are the easiest parts to go for.

Example:
"all religions are valid." 'What about the religion that says all the others are false?'
once they have changed their argument, simply pointing out how they had to change their argument because they were wrong makes their position weaker.

BC to DC? The calender when from BC, Before Christ, to AD, Anno Domini. Which translates to Year of our Lord.

The birth of Jesus it what changed the calendar, not his death

Jesus died in 33 AD

Same principle applies I’d say though

Yep

Anno Domini, "Year of Our Lord"

and then these globalist bastards (pardon my french) are trying to make it “CoMmOn ErA”

I get so angry when I hear that

Yeah messed that up, BC AD, to remember that we called it Before Christ, After Death as kids

There are so many problems with the bce and ce that people are trying to change it to. Like, what defines "common era"? Because in that case every year would be 1 ce

Thank God my school still does BC and not this BCE bullshit

I used CE and BCE for AP exams, as well as LDC and MDC.

Again, another method to try and change history to wipe history from the schools

To be honest, the reason people are Atheist is not because they dont beleive in god, but they dont want anyone to judge how they behave. And if you kill god then the only people who can judge you is the government. And if you control the government, you control your god.

so true. except that "killing god" does nothing lol, He's still there and still gonna judge

Isreal did the same thing. They wanted a king and big government like all the other nations around them even though God told them the level of corruption and opression they would face. Even slavery.

But people are comfortable with a slavery of choice rather than an uncomfortable lack of control.

like how we see that in the end Israel would become a Jewish nation again and they shall yell peace and security that sort of stuff

Well, now instead of Relying on god they rely on that big sweet multi million stimulus check from uncle sam, once again choosing government and federal aid rather than you know, doing it themselves.

yup

Topic change, favorite parable and why?

Prodigal Son

yeah i like that one too

Before Christ's Era <:thinking:726878987837636698>

Good samaritin. Because it shows that people who claim to be nice, or are even in power dont help people and that goodness can come from even the most down looked upon.

Also

Praise be to god I new see this Biden Presidency is a blessing in disguise. One month in and we have had over a years worth of corruption and scandal added onto what there already is. Trump being in office would not have woken people up or punished the people so they turn on the corrupted. Now all we need to do is try and cast out nets to pull people in and show them the better way.

Like the Keystone XL pipeline workers and some of the BLM people who got used ROYALY for the B/H to win?

Anyone interested in joining a small Christian server you don’t have to be Christian

I would, but I doubt my PFP will be welcomed.

It’s fine

All are welcomed

If you would like to just say so I will send you an invite in your Dms

I don't understand why evangelical Christians love Trump so much, he was not at all a godly man, he regularly disrespected woman, he got divorced several times, he has committed all forms of adultery and lust, several of those would put his sinning on the same level as being gay yet evangelicals will simultaneously preach about how great trump is while denying a gay person god's love. This whole situation has been very confusing to me not only as a christian but as a conservative, I have seen people I trusted and agreed with sacrfiice everything they stood for, for a man that spat on said ideals and walked away with the hearts and minds of good people.

its because the left politicians are nutsy psychos that pretty much everything opposite christianity stands for
