Just a quick thought here:


How is this different (making it a bad thing in your opinion) than you or anybody else wanting to make the world a specific way to fit your ideas?

choose wisely...

Anyone else notice how God and Jesus topics have been on the rise in the media the last few years?

He's well within his rights to believe it's a fairy tale!

This is true

To the question “Is James Cameron the anti-christ?”, I was going to say that I sat through Titanic and the answer is a definitive yes. Now after reading through this thread, I’m going to get the popcorn.

Ah...the plot thickens...

Now I believe Cameron is going to attempt to trace Leo DiCaprio's lineage back to Jesus so he can try to make the jump from being the "king of the world!" to the "king of kings."

I wonder how Tom Cruise would take that news.

My dog dug up some old bones..there was a cloth covering them,it said Jesus Gonzalas..could it be???

Regardless of whether he was actually resurrected or not.. I believe that he was an actual living person and that what he was able to do in his lifetime was amazing.

And the tenets that he espoused are great guidelines to live by... so what does it really matter if he was simply a mortal man or not in the grand scheme of things

That is where the "Leap of Faith" comes into play

Which was what, exactly?

What would a family tomb of his be in Jerusalem for? You family was buried where you came from in that culture, so if he did have a family tomb that contained his father's remains, it would have been in Galilee.

Well.. was there Christianity before Christ?

Wasn't that the job of those who survived? I mean, they all could have just said "the hell with it" and went home.

Another thing I thought of, the names Jesua (to put it in modern spelling, Joshua), Joseph, Mary, Matthew, etc.... those names were as common back then as they are now.

They did go home at first, actually (though they probably didn't word their decision to do so like that). It was when they saw Jesus alive that they returned to their ministry. To me, this may be one of the strongest arguments for the resurrection.
