Here we are again...English/Modern Western Culture presentation.Hence, the mass killings perpetrated by the gods per the Bible.
If you are not an Evangelical Christian, you cannot claim to know their motivations. What you are describing is works based salvation, and that's not Evangelical Christianity. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that way, Mormons believe that way, but Evangelical Christians want to bring as many into relationship with Christ as possible, to share the Good News, NOT to earn salvation. That's simply impossible.Like I said evangelists are concerned for their own salvation and they think that converting people to their religion is how they obtain that
Christians are those who follow Christ. Worshipping ancestors in the form of saints is not Christianity. Trying to earn salvation is not Christianity. When you strip it down to its bare essentials there really are not many versions of Christianity. There are differences in culture, some finer points of theology and in the way some things are done, but there is one essential truth that unites them all. A group that calls itself "Christian" isn't necessarily Christian at all. That's even pointed out in the Bible.Christians believe many different things. That's why there are so many versions of Christianity?
Even if you believe the Bible, there is nothing that "proves" or provides evidence that it is the Word of God. If you are looking for proof, you will not find it. That is like searching for dinosaurs in a beehive.
What we have in the Bible is testimony from those who have either experienced or believed in God. They wrote out a way of life, that can either be followed or discarded. All that is gold does not glitter, and the Bible (for some) contains golden threads that guide us in our choices, decisions and paths through life.

Is it that you think He was illiterate, or that He didn't take the time to pen letters proclaiming His abilities?That's Peter's opinion
And what scriptures did Jesus write with his own hand?
You should read the bibles.That is not my experience.
evangelize?
Who evangelizes more religious people or atheists? I've never had an atheist knock on my door to hand out religious material.
And not all argument are meant to persuade many times the act of argument is merely an intellectual exercise.
Gee whiz. I'm never surprised at how many Christians define out of Christianity those Christians who are subjectively the wrong kind of Christians.Christians are those who follow Christ.

There is only one God. You’ve been told that about 50,000 times, at least. In fact you’re told that on a regular basis. So I can only conclude that when you use the word “gods” in every post, you’re trolling. And the message is simple and clear enough for a child to understand. The problem is your heart is hard and you are spiritually blind. Which is exactly what the Bible says about hardened unbelievers like you.Here again. What a shame the gods couldn't deliver their message in a coherent fashion. That would seem the godly thing to do. But then again, maybe it was their intention to sow discord and confusion.
Christians think all children are tainted with sin the moment they are born
Christians believe that all children are innocent, and go straight to Heaven...
Of course. So merciful also. But I dare not mention the bible is full of misogyny like that.Let's not forget Lot offering his virgin daughters to the crowd so they'd leave him alone.
Except nothing about prophesy is vague.500 years ago people thought those same prophecies described the times they lived in perfectly.
200 years ago people thought those same prophecies described the times they lived in perfectly.
100 years ago people thought those same prophecies described the times they lived in perfectly.
Vague prophecies can be used to describe a great many things
Blame Jeppi.In judges, chapter 11, jephthah made a deal with god if he was victorious over the Ammonites, he would sacrifice the first person to greet him on his return, by burning them alive.
He did indeed win and upon his return, was gleefully greeted by his daughter. Sadly the news was not goid. He cooked her a couple of months later to satisfy this ghost they believed in.
God never said a word apparently but when Abraham prepared his son to be barbecued as a sacrifice, at the very last minute, somehow Abraham got an email from God who suggested he spare him.
Its a shame your merciful god didn't show the same compassion for jephthats daughter as ge did for Isaac. This is the stuff you teach little kids.
How can you be part of such horrific and wicked teachings of your filthy god? Is that where you get your morals from?
Going by scientific proofs, we have none. Nor would prophetic evidence work in a courtroom if someone could offer 'reasonable doubt' that the prophecy could be interpreted differently. And non-believers do.I disagree. I don’t know if “proof” is the right word, but there is plenty of evidence that the Bible is indeed a supernatural book. For example, thousands of fulfilled prophecies.
Which is why our women run the home.Of course. So merciful also. But I dare not mention the bible is full of misogyny like that.
Who says children are innocent?So many Bible stories begin with the slaughter of innocent children. Consider the flood, the Egyptian first born , Herod killing baby boys. It's a pretty constant theme.
You remind me of your merciful god.Who says children are innocent?
I would prefer that children to be raised by drug lords be wiped out with their parents when no alternatives remain.
