    Wha? We can't argue about the truth of Christianity until you provide the evidence that it's the truth. Kind of hard to go much beyond that buddy.

    Try three and a half years. He began at the age of thirty. He was crucified after turning 33. At least that is what is usually what is accepted as orthodoxy.

    They actually have a ceremony at the courthouse. Believe it or not a church is not required.

    If somehow archaeologists found a 2000+ year old book that gave the complete history of Jesus' life between the ages of 2-30. How exactly would that change your view?

    I was simply giving the previous poster context. His statement cannot be supported by scripture

    And that ceremony has to be held at church?

    I guess all those poor idiots who skipped out on a church wedding are really just silly strangers to each other huh.

    Do yourselves a favor and don't click the link. All kinds of warnings just popped up for me after clicking it. I guess I'm going to hell? :)

    People are being turned off because its not real. God is real but Jesus was just a man. Understand that Christians are committing the ultimate sin everyday. Instead of focusing on god Christians focus on the worship of man. Their is no trinity their is only one and that is god.

    Guess what Bob, I'm pretty sure your assumption is wrong.

    It is more of a guess based on certain context clues. Not really assuming anything.

    What is the ultimate sin?

    In Christianity, the ultimate sin is rejected Jesus as Lord.

    That's why Christianity is false. Not going to answer the question of what the ultimate sin is. If I answer that question I would be disclosing what my religious preference is. Make your guess, nothing better then a guessing game.

    Idol worship (forbidden in the ten commandments). Not all Christians do that though, so you can't generalize like that.

    However, the trinity is real, just far different and deeper than is taught in Christian theology (in a nutshell: female yields to male to bring forth life. Father, Mother, Child).

    Did I miss the form of Christianity where Jesus isn't the Son of God? :confused:

    Sickening. So if somebody doesn't believe in Christianity your first guess is satanism?

    Jesus was just a man. How hard is it to figure out? Christianity entire basis is the worship of man not god.

    Emmanuel. God with us. According to Christoanity, Jesus was God through man. The Holy Spirit is the supposed Spirit of Jesus in Christians. Both forms lead back to the very same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Thus, christoans worship Worship Yahweh, not man. I'm all for religious discussion, but misrepresenting any religion is a no no. I'm not a Buddhist, but I'd hate to purposefully change Buddhist points to make them look bad.
