You answer my questions with a question? Jesus did also...you're right partly about the language...but if you're only about to contribute with a single phrase...it won't be much of a deep convedrsation...
so then I am about to ask you, what kind of death did Alexander the Great die???
How are we sure about it anyway.
Did you know, that there are still great problems about the "dark" ages...even the time of Charlemagne...to verify the dates.How would you solve these as a scientist?...if thedata available are few...the library in Alexandia got burned much information about the ancient times...and the monks and king in the middle ages cared probably not so much about the way to report things as we do now...a lot of times also a matter about the material available...too
Then it is your problem as a reader to believe the sources...what where the motives behind it
I am studying about up about templeprostitution...not even Herodot is believed in everything...nowadays...see what I mean??
You have to give me a little bit of feedback...otherwise I presume...your mind is already made up
Kind of a rhetoric question...you don't believe Jesus...the Son of God died at the cross...the muslims don't either...some believe...he went then to India etc. etc.
and you also don't believe in the virgin birth...although there are other mythologies of virgin birth...as you probably know.
And this about the rules...well...to bad...you're right...you can ask to delete my post...I can only tell you as I feel the right answer is for everybody...not only for you...
You can't prove something of the past...because you weren't there...it is a matter of believe...capisce???
I don't know how much more I should emphasize it...it is not only a language problem...but you must also be willing to agree to certain facts...I wasn't there at the conception of Jesus...neither was any of the historians of today...neither was Joseph present...from all that I believe
So what do you really expect of me???
But this is with all the so called historical facts...I can't focus??...Can you follow up to here...agree??
That is why I argued...there is a supernatural part in the Bible...something about the foretelling of the events...why it had to be like this...birth in virginity is a must too IMO...and the dieing on the cross too...these can be easily
explained by theology...that is not preaching...that is something immanent...is conclusive from the OT...
Experiencing the power of forgiveness of Christ today...is something I allow myself to "preach" to advise...frankly if the board-rules are that stiff...that I can't say that anymore...then I won't come anyway...ain't fun anymore...to write...because everything can be twisted and made as an accusation.
You want a proof nobody can give you...may be your mind is anyway mind up....then why do you ask???????????
