Question about Jesus Christ?

[The King]

You heard that Jesus is the son of god/god made man, and you post about it all the time. Does that discredit everything you've ever posted? Having a Theology degree is actually more like having a degree in Mother Goose.

Incorrect. I learned that Jesus is the Son of God. To expand on my earlier statement, not only is having a theology degree akin to having a history degree, it is also akin to having a law degree and philosophy degree. No wonder you can't come up with anything better than Mother Goose: the concept of three (or more) distinct disciplines rolled into one may have left you so completely befuddled and awestruck you had nowhere else to turn other than the simplicity of your childhood.

History is generally true. Theology, not so much.

Prove history, as you perceive it, to be any more true than theology then.

Ahh, Jesus. I like him very much. But he no help me hit curveball.

[VaderTT]

off topic but, I speak to people at work that tell me Jesus is going to save their house from foreclosure. lol.

No one should be "relying on this bunch" lol to teach them anything, that's what reading the Bible for yourself, emphasis on "for yourself", accomplishes.



Once you used the term, "I have heard...." you just discounted everything you posted here lol. Anytime someone uses that term it's a red flag showing they haven't a clue of what they're talking about. Try understanding instead that Jesus was conceived, rather than born, in the spring.



Actually a degree in theology is more akin to a degree in history.

My oldest bro has a masters in theology, but can't seem to explain it to me in a satisfactory manner either. So, I watch and read about it to satisfy my own curiosity. You'd probably be better off doing that too instead of relying on this bunch to teach you! lol

"Christmas" was a Pagan holiday that the Christians hijacked and "made" it Jesus' birthday so the Pagans would have no choice but to inadvertantly celebrate something in regards to Jesus. Just another way Christians pushed their beliefs upon those who didn't care. And FWIW, I have also heard that Jesus was, in fact, born sometime in the spring. If that is correct...it's no wonder Jesus hasn't come back...we can't even get his fucking birthday right!

I always kinda chuckle on the inside when somebody tells me they have or they're working on a degree in theology. It's like having a degree in fiction novels.

Watch the History Channel...there's always shit about the Bible on there, especially this time of year. Very enlightening. I'm fascinated by the fact that the Catholic church basically put what they wanted to in the Bible and then made up different rules as they went along depending on what was better for the church at any given time!

This is the funniest fucking thing I have ever read. lmgdao @ 21rst.

Heh... almost got me laughing now. But I have to ask.. what's so funny about the 21st? Is that also some random pagan holiday or something?

Yeah I never understood that whole thing either. If they are just going to make up their own rules as they go along, what the hell is the whole point? Its kind of like the US constitution. Why bother even having it if the government is just going to walk all over it anyway?

Somewhere between 1 BC and 1 AD

100% lol

The giving of gifts, trees, stockings, santa. Jesus has nothing to do with the 25th of December.

[davbrucas]

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

Something I saw on the History channel once said that the date was actually Dec 21rst, but it was "moved" to the 25 for so that the catholic church could use it to sort of overshadow, or gloss over, a pagan holiday that was on that date. Basically the Catholic church was trying to sort of use that technique to kinda convert/weed out the pagans. Don't know how much of that is true, just something I saw on TV one day.
