And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
They choose not to test HIM.
@duffyd You want everyone else to believe in something you were told was true. Without any evidence. Because the grown ups that taught you that were the ones you thought you could trust implicitly.
One more example where the accuser has no idea what she's saying.
There is also people who pretend to believe it to avoid being ostracized. There's a rumor that JFK was an an atheist but didn't come out of the closet about it for obvious reasons.

How did they come up with this material?“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going"Do you know anyone who spoke like that?.
Debating uninformed and biased individuals is a waste of my intellect and my integrity.

There's a rumor that JFK was an an atheist but didn't come out of the closet about it for obvious reasons. Well, if you knew history, you would not make such a ridiculous statement. JFK's father, The Patriarch Joe Kennedy, spent a fortune trying to convince the voting public that Jack's Catholicism would not interfere with his decision making, if he were fortunate enough to become the first catholic president. By a quirk of fate and brilliant politics he won the endorsement of black leadership who, in the nick of time, decided it would be safe to vote for a catholic afterall. "A for effort" but once again that nonsense fails here, too.
UNFORTUNATELY, no one has proffered a single new or insightful argument to further their cause.
And, if you were acting rationally, you would either refute them, or you would accept them.But you haven't- even though, as you say, you have had years to do so.So, since you have a multi-year track record of not being rational, what are you doing on a science discussion forum?

His words, flow from Him and no other,
He did not speak English.
Quote from: Bored chemist on 16/04/2020 11:30:08He did not speak English.Or Greek, or much Latin (though apparently enough to argue with Pontius Pilate, but we have no contemporaneous court documents). It's possible that some Hebrew documents are close to the truth but written classical Hebrew can be a bit casual with vowels, so beware of taking anything too literally.I'm told by those who know that there's little difference between "I am" and "mine is" in Aramaic. "Mine is the Way, the Truth and the Life" makes sense - I guess every charismatic leader and vegetarian has said it sometime. But "I am the Way...." is drivel in any language.
