Someone says your ancestors were monkeys, you seem to believe the unknown.

It is not unknown. The evidence demonstrates it.

I have actual witness accounts of the resurrection of Christ who claimed to be God.

Based on what evidence?

I have written accounts of a man named Jesus Christ living and preaching and performing miracles on earth.

There are also written accounts of Joseph Smith, Mohammed, and Buddha and yet you reject all three. Why?

There is more historical evidence that Zeus was a god that was worshiped by humans then there is that a ape one day started to talk. Zeus had a larger following then any ape, monkey, chimpanzee;etc

So another empty accusation, I see.

Why is there no apes that have a large following?

There are. Humans are apes.

Why do bookstores put the Bible in the same section as the Book of Mormon, the Quran, and the hindu Vedas?
I don't know ... maybe the owner is a scientist who can't tell the difference?

That wasn't my question though.

I'm asking why It isn't placed in a specific location -- not why It is placed in a general one.

At least the bookstores I frequent do not sort their books by "fiction" and "non-fiction".

I really don't know what bookstores you visit.

Or maybe the owner is blinded by religious dogma and can not recognize fiction.

It is placed in a general section, the religion section along with all the other world religions.

I would be forced to believe in the existence of Zeus. I on the other hand would not worship him.

Question: What would your God do to you if you refused to worship Him?

Please use the quote feature properly, especially if you truncate someone's post. It makes it easier to find the original post. Thank you.

Now, I don't believe. Where is the lie in that? Do you think it is impossible not to believe? Why do you think this? Do you know what is in everybody's mind?

He means... it was said that one would believe if God came to earth and did miracles. Now God did come to earth and did miracles... and one still doesn't believe. Liar, liar, pants on fire.


Literalists... unable to think beyond the letters on the screen.

That an unbeliever would have to witness a miracle to believe, not just be told that a miracle happened 2000 years ago... this is beyond them.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes. Miracles, and reports of miracles - very different things.

Care to quote the whole conversation.

I asked if God came to the earth and did miracles would they believe?

They said "yes"

I said He did.

They don't believe; therefore it is either a lie or a play on words; that they said their belief is based on God coming to earth.

“I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” —Stephen F Roberts

Belief is not in question, since the Holy Spirit is required to believe in The God, and clearly you do not have the Holy Spirit. Existence of a God is the question.

As shown by what evidence? Please provide evidence for the existence of the Holy Spirit.

Existence of a God is the question.

Your only answer seems to be that you must believe in order to believe.

-Joseph Addison-

Atheism doesn't deny any revealed truths, only dogmatic beliefs supported by no evidence and no reason.

The same that he does to you. You neither worship Him with your lips or your heart, yet His Mercy endures upon you now.

Unfortunately, you will kneel before him and call him Lord regardless of your beliefs now, but when you die and are judged according to the law He gave.

I never went to court for as great of crime as yours, but I know for fact regardless of my knowledge of the judge, or my belief in their existence it has no bearing on my demeanour when I am before an authority that holds the decision of my punishment.

Your belief has no bearing on wether you will or will not worship. Your encounter does. Why else did men who opposed God fall as dead when visited by only angels; will not your encounter with God be far more fearful.

Fear is worship, and God demands you Fear him.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28 KJV)

Yet the bible gives evidence of people who saw and heard Jesus and were cured of disease, yet still yelled "crucify him".

That evidence alone is proof you have no control over wether you accept him or not. He does.

So, if you need evidence, he will supply that, but does not mean you will believe in Him and call him Lord then.

The bible makes many unsubstantiated claims. You do realize that everything that gets written down isn't necessarily true?

Personal testimony is most often the most unreliable. Forensic evidence trumps eyewitness testimony any day of the week.
You DO realize that those who have had experience with miracles or the supernatural look at you and see you as a person clinging to his disbelief dispite being surrounded by the truth, right? To those who have found the Lord, you are akin to the ignorant masses proclaiming that the earth is indeed flat because you deny from incredulity any evidence of a round planet.

How so, I listen to the reports of Genome Studies, I myself am not there to clarify all is done accurately.

History provides lists of errors done in the name of science. Does that mean science is always wrong? No

If the Bible always proves itself to be free from error, provided its not interpreted in error; how much more believable is it to the error stricken History of Science.

I don't have to mention the errors of other religious beliefs to prove also that the Bible is the Word of God.

You do realize that as long as I strive to see the facts for what they are and let them inform my opinion of reality, I don't care what intellectually deficient people may or may not think of me.
