I think if Jesus had a PC it would make life a lot easier for him, he'd be able to organise the billions of prayers he gets every day, put them in some sort of order, then answer them later if he gets around to it.

Watch the film RISEN from 2016...Joseph Fiennes - Read EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A VERDICT by JOSH MCDOWELL. You get new garbage springing up every week about Jesus and the Bible...like Dan Brown, these people are hucksters out to make money. And of course the Christian religions are paupers with their preachers and hierarchy all living in bedsits. |

"George Müller cared for 10,000 orphaned children in Bristol during the 19th Century. He never made appeals for money, trusting implicitly in God, he received £1,500,000 in answer to prayer. At present day prices, this would be well over £86,000,000."
If I recall it correctly, he died with about a tenner in the bank as every penny was accounted for and spent on welfare. STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS...GEORGE MULLER OF BRISTOL. |

yep - one guy that fulfilled 300 old testament prophecies.
that's a guy that i need to get advice about a lucky fifteen from - born of a virgin - (700 bc) Isaiah 7:14 – “All right then, the Lord Himself will choose the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call Him Immanuel – ‘God is with us.’” born in Bethlehem - Micah 5:2 – “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village in Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past.” The Messiah Will Enter Jerusalem Triumphantly Zechariah 9:9 – “Rejoice greatly, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey – even on a donkey’s colt.” The Messiah Will Be Rejected By His Own People Isaiah 53:1, 3 – “Who has believed our message? To whom will the Lord reveal His saving power? He was despised and rejected – a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way when He went by. He was despised, and we did not care.” The Messiah Will Be Betrayed By One Of His Followers Psalm 41:9 – “Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.” (NIV) The Messiah Will Be Betrayed For 30 Pieces Of Silver Zechariah 11:12-13 – “And I said unto them, ‘If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.” (KJV) that's six of the 300 - the page is getting full - the odds of doing them all in a lifetime is insanely long. |

Zorro, all fiction writers take care to tie up all the loose ends either in the main book or in sequels. Why would you think this should be any different?
You get new garbage springing up every week about Jesus and the Bible Absolutely true, it's been going on for centuries. |

"There isn't consensus, as the answer depends on the definition of a novel, but Don Quixote, Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders are mentioned multiple times as the first fiction novels in Western Literary tradition(1600's). However, The Tale of Genji from Japan predates them all.THE 11TH CENTURY -
Let's look at the bible - penned by inspired authors from 1000 BC and with a coherent message running through all the authors through 1,000 years of writings. All of the old testament books hark to a coming messiah. Isaiah gives a detailed description of him, this passage has said to be instrumental in making a lot of Jews convert to Christianity.(isaih 61) Jeremiah references a messiah. Daniel gives a detailed time when he comes. Micah mentions him. All the old testament books make allusions or give details about the messiah. the famous saying - "the New Testament is hidden in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New". (St. Augustine of Hippo) three days in the belly of the whale. So all the jewish prophets screamed their heads off about a coming messiah - then a guy shows up and changes the world. They're furious with him because he won't destroy evil and take his rightful throne. So they now are still waiting for the right one to come? They thought like men. Jesus thought like God. now as a story - a novel at the very least? an ancient text by primitive men. With thousands of other books exploring it's subtext(theology). With a blue letter bible to explore the very words used (oil means holy spirit,). The gematria coding (Mathew gospel and number synchronicity? that explores it's structure. Books exploring it's prophecies(such as a new Israel? with Jerusalem at its heart) It's structural depth which has astounded other authors. nobody can do this with Harry potter or any other book to the ninth degree. You can try.. but it does not stand up. read Isaiah 61 - it was written seven centuries before Jesus. Then ask yourself who is he describing. The old testament was copied to the greek by Ptolomy the second 200 years before Christ. FICTION is an insult - nobody tells the future in fiction down to the day. wait- I'm wrong in 700 years, Jesus is on the throne. I just did it. the Jews are waiting today in the year 5777 on the Jewish calendar for their messiah - 5 means grace, 7 completion, triple completion of grace. The end of the grace covenant left by Jesus. wait and see, keep delaying your investigation, don't read isaiah 61. don't believe it's your head not mine. Mine is secure - I'm golden. I'm minted. I cannot lose. nobody can snatch me away from the father. You think you can ignore it? it's coming like a 16 ton weight out of Monte Python. You can dodge it by reading Isaiah 61 or you can be flattened by it. |

rats - mis remembered it's Isaiah 53 - not 61
700 years before Jesus - this was written. translated to greek by Ptolomy in 200 BC. Isaiah 53 New International Version (NIV) Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked,and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence,nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered,he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many,and made intercession for the transgressors. |

JESUS (LATIN) = HORU + ZEUS. Horus is egyptian diety with the "christ" story (born of a virgin, astrologically destined). Zeus is greek god, the greeks were profound of copying the religious stories and dieties of ancient egyptians. The Holy Bible = Helios Biblios (greek), translated: Sun Book. Your religious book is based on astrology, and it has been edited down to make christendom the dominating religion in the world. The vatican being the richest entity on the planet. Jesus is not even the name of the dark skinned hebrew that was made "christ" by constantine and Eurocentrism. Something like YAHAWASHE. The bible is a masonic text, brought to colored people around the globe by conquesting, caucasoids and albinoids. There are some very deep allegories embedded in the texts, which refer to the hijacking of the Mitochondrial EVE gene, the African gene, and the supplanting of the human race, during a 6000 year period. Adam is Atom, molecules (atoms) that form a RIB shape (DNA) which create EVE. THE NATURAL WOMAN. The EVE gene was intentionally supplanted by the reptile (reptilian race) in the garden of Eden (Ancient Kemet). YAKUB is an african man that took with him 60000 albinos & lighter colored people to the isle of Patmos, and genetic engineered the Albino race. The bible mentions this specifically through the allegory of sexing spotted and brown (not black) sheep over and over again, to create a sheep devoid of pigment (Genesis 30:25-43). This process is known as skin grafting. GENESIS = The Origins or Coming into Being (existence). The earth is 100's of millions of years old, and the **** Sapien, the Original Human, The Melanated being, has been walking upright for at least 400,000 years

enjoy the weed.
the jews have this year dated at 5777. https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/?year=2017&v=1&month=x&yt=G&nx=on&o=on&vis=on&d=on&c=off&maj=on&min=on&mod=on greek mythology dates from 1500 BC. the jewish lineage back to Adam goes back to 4000 BC In Genesis they describe a fall of angels, they bred with the women of that age - they were called the sons of God(nephilim) God saw it as an abomination to man's bloodlines and wiped them out with a flood. From these mighty men of old - the tales of the Greek gods arose. Hybrid stories are still told today - superman, batman, flash, spiderman - it's still going strong. The angels that fell lost all their children in the flood. Were not happy about it. how might you feel to see your children wiped out. today it's being re run - three parent conception, organs from animals - as it was in the time of Noah so shall it be at the end. time is up - make your excuses or get right with God. dredge up any old excuses you want. You've dismissed your high priest Jesus, who sits at the right side of the judge. You don't have a defence. God's not going to listen to this spurious bull. But God I had no proof.... did you look at the book? did you try to understand it - did you look at the subtext or did you just read the surface meaning? Do you know who the anointed one is? did you understand what the fig tree was? the Hidden meanings. Did you try to meet me half way? did you listen to me? no you turned to any old crap to fill your days... Lucifer is on fox if you get Netflix, you can watch it tonight. Satans so funny. |

The historical evidence for Jesus himself is extraordinarily good. …. From time to time people try to suggest that Jesus of Nazareth never existed, but virtually all historians of whatever background now agree that he did

And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness, And wonders of his love, And wonders of his love, And wonders, wonders, of his love. I wonder if the millions born in Africa just to die a slow and painful death from malnutrition or the millions who die horrible deaths from the likes of cancer will wonder at his love. I can understand why this nonsense was believed in the dark ages but in these enlightened times it beggars belief. |

lfc1971 Without Christianity and the bible would we have had Shakespeare, or Beethoven, or Elvis, or the Rolling Stones, or Motown, or John lee Hooker or Karen Carpenter ? Probably not It is not that we have it that I'm against but rather how it is interpreted and presented. I was taught in Sunday school of an omnipresent loving God. What we witness in the world every day is at odds with this. Not sure how you arrive at that view btw. You'll need to explain that in a bit more detail. |

By:
Acabula, if Shakespeare had not grown up reading the bible then we wouldn't have had his literary genius, or the incredible depth and number of English writers, or I should say writers in the English language including Scotland , Wales, Ireland, America etc.
Without gospel music there would be no Elvis, or John lee Hooker .and no Beatles or Stones. and no Karen Carpenter. |
