Independent testimonials of specific events are useful
wait what testimonials are ya talkin about
But "I believe the bible too!" is not worth as much
People like you have been around for 100s of years. The bibles reputation precedes itself. There's a reason its the #1 read book in the world. If it was obsolete and false it would've been lost to time and destroyed under the numerous attempts at its destruction.
So would the Quran
or the Torah
if that was true
Religions persist because people like you believe them, which isn't your fault but is just a fact
huh? religious texts have been around before the bible, and have been questioned since their existence
Well those bear its fruits in what we see today versus what we see coming out of the Bible which is quite contrary
wait what do you mean by that I'm confused
People like you in Saudi Arabia, people like you in Israel, people like you in India
In china
North korea
Africa
They all believe as much as you do that their religion is the true one
Everywhere
China and north korea both had state intervention into religion
Yet they still persist
Africa is mostly Christian or Muslim
People are willing to die for what they believe in because there's something there that's more worth it in the end.
Exactly
People are willing to die for things they sincerely believe in
That's why there are volunteers in the Army, the fire department
That same mentality is consistent then while trying to preserve life where it counts
Thanks for the article I need to read it.
That's really fascinating!
I don’t know but I want to contribute

That’s also why there are volunteers in ISIS and in terrorist bombings
It goes both ways
One seeks to destroy whilst the other seeks to save
Christianity is in touch with basic, moral human principals or i could say vice versa
Sin nature is hard to fight
Being bad comes naturally
It’s instinct and second nature
Hypothetically if people just wrote it and there was no God, it has so many beneficial teachings and lessons that anybody can apply to their lives in any small way. And in any small way it would be beneficial.
We are born into sin so its inherit
Resisting temptation is way too hard
It takes maturity, determination, and self-control to overcome it. Hence why we need God because otherwise we'd just fall back into temptation.
