Yes, He was a lot of things. God has many names. God with us, for example. The 'I AM' etc. If you have seen me, Jesus said you have seen the Father. Those who know Him know that, unlike Philip when Philip had to be told that.
People are lost because they choose evil over good so they do not want to come to the light. People always quote John 3:16 but you never hear them quote John 3:20.
Yes the plague in Europe. They even accused the Jewish people of being the cause of the plague because the people who followed the Bible did not seem to be effected by the plague.
What's interesting is that Satan was smart enough to ... when he possessed someone (or ordered them possessed) ... would have them go into epileptic-like seizures and whatnot.
Do you have even one shred of evidence for this?
As the plague swept across Europe in the mid-14th century, annihilating nearly half the population, Jews were taken as scapegoats, in part because isolation in the ghettos meant in some places that Jews were less affected.[1][2] Accusations spread that Jews had caused the disease by deliberately poisoning wells.[3][4]
Moses had strict laws for going to the toilet and washing your hands after. We can tell the Hebrew campsites because the toilets were required to be a exact distance from the camp, so their campsite looks like a foot. They were not allowed to leave the camp to gather wood on the Sabbath. They were only allowed to walk far enough to get to the toilet and back again. Moses wrote a lot on what is clean and what is unclean. Today Science is even more strict then Moses in what they consider to be clean and unclean. For most people it is enough to follow the teaching of Moses and we do not need to add to that. Today we grind up the fat and put it in the hamburger to eat. In the Bible you were to burn the fat off in the fire and not eat it. We know today that the leading cause of death is heart disease caused by eating a high fat diet. Even 3500 years ago Moses knew that this was not a healthy diet. Daniel even goes a step further and he did not eat meat at all, he and his fellows only ate vegetables. They were more healthy then the people that ate the from the Kings table.
Apart from the millions of Christians who got the plague and died, erm Christians were following the bible as well weren't they?
No, because you don't.
When planets or galaxies have a different rotation than the uniform event of the big bang and subsequent imaginary smash ups predict..they do what any cult does. They invent exotic scenarios to excuse the exceptions. Total dreams.
You see light here on earth. You put light through a prism here on earth. You therefore only get what can be gotten here. Since you do not know how far away or big the other points of light you cite are you cannot attach much meaning to the stars having some of the same elements etc! The space station has some of the same elements as earth...so? That doesn't mean both are planets.
You cannot plead that not seeing things at all helps you!
Like creation. The door swings both ways.
No, stop the insane denial.
I get truth by hearing God's word. Science gets squat.
OK, easy to do. Show the math in your own words, or a short concise quote.
That all depends on what the 'thing' is.
Perhaps I misunderstood. When you said “people who followed the teaching of the Bible” were you referring to Jews or Christians?
Either one. If you follow the laws of God you will benefit. In this case the law has to do with sanitation.
So the godly christians followed the same hygiene as the jews but proportionally more christians got the plague. I guess this proves the jews are indeed god's chosen people.
