Interesting query and reply about THE CROSS on Bart Ehrman's blog
by Terry inkleenmaint july 5, 2014. dear bart:.
i couldnt find a topic on josephus so i hope you see my question.
in your book did jesus exist on page 59 you quote (antiquities 18.3.3).. both this quotation and the more conservative version that seemed more plausible as his original writing have one very fundamental flaw that you didnt mention.

Jesus as a Ransom for Humans or not
by fulltimestudent ini have not got an answer (theoretical or not) to the above question.. but the main text book (introducing the new testament- its literature and theology - achtemeier, green and thompson) for my study unit (early christian literature and thought) in the assigned reading for today's lecture on the gospel of john, has a section on the ransom.
it says (p. 237): one of the few passages that explicitly speaks of jesus dying for others is mark 10:45:.
"for even the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.. .

If you don't believe in God, Jesus, and everything in the Bible, you are willfully ignorant.

"i absolutely 100% believe in god, jesus christ and everything recorded in the bible.. the reason why is because of the overwhelming amount of evidence.. there is so much evidence that it has taken me years to examine what has cemented my own convictions.".

Is the organisation still obsessed with attacking the R.C.church ? , in their publications ?
by smiddy infor the 33 years i was "in" their seemed to be a constant barrage against catholicism from either the watchtower or awake mags., and hardly a peep out of them towards other individual faiths .. i havent read any of their publications for well over 20 years and was just wondering if anything has changed in this regard .. smiddy.

There will never, never be Peace and Security here on Earth.
by jam inwho are we fooling, as long as we humans exist there.
will never be peace even under god's rule.. i think god realize he have created a mess and said screw this .
and have left us on our own.. each day there is another crisis, what's next.... there is no solution to bring harmony among mankind, hell.

Early christians : Were they chosen ?, if so, what about those who were not?
by opusdei1972 init is a hard task to understand what christ and early christians had in mind.
but i noted that in the gospels appears the word "elect" (greek eklektos).
it seems that early christians thought that they were chosen by god.

Jesus was a false prophet?
by opusdei1972 inand he said to them, "i tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of god come with power.
(mark 9:1).
when you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.

Jesus 1000 years and Satan's 1000 years in the abyss
by berrygerry inthe thread about satan in the abyss for 1000 years prompts a question.. jesus will rule for 1000 years.. jesus began ruling in 1914, which means his 1000 year reign will end in 2914.. satan will be abyssed for 1000 years.. if the end comes in 2020, satan will be abyssed in 2020, and then released in 3020.. what happens between 2914 and 3020?.
honest question..
