So... if Paul was influenced with Greek philosophy, are you (plural) then claiming other authors who wrote the Gospels were following the same narrative structure"adopted" from Greek philosophy ? In plain language we see highlighted,what should be most obvious when we simply read the...

(part 1) You weren't satisfied with my previous answer? Not much to grasp onto and argue against I suppose.. The scriptures said this would be for many, but...it encourages followers to persist on and maintain the course, despite what obstacles comes your way. That's the difference between...

...and those who preach and talk about Jesus, synonymously, also actually find peace. That bit must of slipped your mind. No worries. The more problems that get found with "evolution" it's of no surprise that it would be easier to believe God created Adam and Eve. Besides... ....humans and...

Aye mon... ...I mean AMEN. Yer can bank on our wee steve.

"Science fails to detect any trace..", I would agree with the statement line, although... not quite the way you see it. I would find it intriguing, and baffling at the same time, pondering on the thought as to 'why' one would think indications would show and be noticed or detected at...

Mental gymnastics, I can agree with, although we'll 'differ' on who we think are the ones portraying it. Because religious people can be sceptics too.

Skepticism is not owned by atheists (some think they do)... ..and nor is science either. Also, science is not an 'opposition' to God. We can 'note' the 'obvious'...where religious people can also be scientists too.

There's no issue here...not for the Theist at least. When we hear of similar claims about being special -in context to the bible, it emphasises there is only one 'Real McCoy'. The "Heard it before" notion is a hatching of agenda ideas that created copies of the biblical narrative e.g...

In line with the argument mode.... ...neither does 'atheism' grow food,make electricity,etc & etc..

....but...but... I am not sure what the charges are? Witness: I am not sure who is being charged here...and guilty of what? God is not available in this court...huh? Am I hearing the sound of didgeridoos?

"Something not seen or heard before' There's nothing surely about it at all. What rule of method is that logic according to? You are introducing a nonexistent "theistic issue" that has no relevance to the conceptual context of the bible (as Theists read it). The bible contradicts the flawed...

Then 'deathrow' is merely a waiting list for dangerous criminals to have an accomodation upgrade. Anyway, in addition to killing, I do, of course also include those who make judgements, deciding to go to war against nations as enemies - scenarios of threats, retaliation or defense (pre-emptive...

Sure, I can speak your lingo. God kills people as do judges in your Western civilization. Is it murder?

So, to understand your moral clarity. Am I understanding correctly that when for example: people in court are sent to death for murder or when for example the allies in WW2 dropped bombs on Germany as retaliation, or, just any sort of killing,regardless of whether it be in self-defence or...

Or maybe you mean...the ancient Hebrews or ancient Israelites, or... can we technically say ancient Hebrew-ism before there was Judaism?🙂 Mass murder of babies e.g.. sacrificing babies to Molech or Baal was quite normal for many nations back then - Gods enemies in defiance. That is not...
