Put a little time in educating yourself.
Ignorance is the accepting myths as facts.


Well said Sam, but sadly you refuse to take the excellent advice
you give others.

By faith, you choose the to accept the myths, fables and hearsay opinions
of men far removed from the life of Jesus over the eyewitness accounts
of the men and women who personally saw and heard the miracles, life,
Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus and recorded them in the
New Testament. Many of these men solidly established the integrity
of their position by sacrificing their lives rather than renounce
their eyewitness testimony.

Your irrationality and lack of discernment would disqualify you from
juror duty in most courts, but you continue to seek an audience with
honest and reasonable men.

Look carefully at what you present as your evidence. There is not one
credible historical document, only conjecture and opionion by men
far removed from the first century.
When men tickle your ears and give their opinons about the historical
events about Jesus's life, you immediately accept these opinions
as if they were valid historical documents.

Like I said before, you are a spiritual and intellectual cripple trying
to convince others of the great advantages of amputating the two legs
of their souls---intellectual and spiritual discernemt--becasue you find
it pleasurable to have blind faith. That is prescisely what your
beliefs are, blind faith based by fables and myths invented in mens
minds.

You base your faith on myths and fables, Christians on real historical
events.

Let me give you two quotes from some of these eyewitnesses:

2Pet.1
13: Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting
you in remembrance;

14: Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus
Christ hath shewed me.

15: Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these
things always in remembrance.

16: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known
unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty.


17: For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came
such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.

18: And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him
in the holy mount.


19: We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye
take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the
day star arise in your hearts:

Second eyewitness quote:

Chapter: 1John.1

1: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the
Word of life;


2: (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew
unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto
us;)

3: That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son
Jesus Christ.

4: And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that
God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6: If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not
the truth:

7: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Remember, these simple fishermen would rather die than renounce
their simple eyewitness accounts.

Think about.
-----------------------------------------------

This is from the mouths of men and women who new Jesus personally.
They lived 2000 years ago with Jesus.

Compare that to the men who are give you your myths and fables.
Your sources are mostly living in the ninteenth and twentiety century
a give their opinions and conjecture because they have no valid
historical documents to counter the factual eyewitness accounts in
the New Testament.

Your faith is based on irrationality and a lack of reasoning.
