In Christianity, you are either reconciled with God or you are not, and the only way to be reconciled to God is through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Paul converted to Christianity within 4-7 years of Jesus's death. This is what Bart Ehrman says about Paul: We're talking about the...

I'm puzzled. Do these words seem religious to you or not? This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From Matthew's gospel, so not written 120 years after Jesus's death. If they are not, what are they? Here's the full passage from Matthew 26...

I don't know, but the correct answer is "Jesus founded the Christian religion."

That's fine. You didn't explicitly answer my question ("When did Christians begin celebrating the Last Supper, as depicted by Leonardo Da Vinci?"), but I assume from what you write that that's because you accept the point I'm making, namely that Jesus knew he was going to die, and that it was...

Before anyone starts objecting, I'm answering the points raised. It's clear that Jesus founded Christianity. Let me ask you a question: When did Christians begin celebrating the Last Supper, as depicted by Leonardo Da Vinci? The Apostle Paul wrote a lot of the New Testament, but neither he...

I see Ooh, swearing, wow. About camera cuts, that is one of the main things people have been complaining about on this thread and the other one. A lot of people hate all the cuts the directors are using. So do I. Also, it's not just the goalposts, it's everything. I don't think you...

This is my latest masterpiece

Yes, that's true. But you didn't elaborate in any way on what you find bizarre, or explain why. Is it because I believe there is a creator, or that I was saying that Jesus is an actual historical figure (which he was, that's simply a fact, so not bizarre at all). Or is it because we must not...

Who or what is Swanny?

The only time I've ever discussed religion is when someone else brings it up in some way. If people don't want to talk about it, don't bring it up. If they do bring it up, it's a bit weird if I'm not then allowed to respond, isn't it?

OK, well shall we get back to the topic of the thread? What are we talking about? Camera angles or religion?

Yep, I was right. You've proven it! It seems that that is literally all you are capable of saying :lolol:

This guy? Hello there, have we met? Are you brave when you're with your mates?

Would you care to elucidate, since you have popped up to declare something bizarre, or is that all you are capable of saying? Do you have all the answers? Do you know what the meaning of life is? Are you qualified to pronounce on what is true and what is not? I suspect you don't have any...

Well, my spiritual beliefs are bang orthodox actually. Edit: that's orthodox as in bog-standard Christian, not as in Russian Orthodox, although "Bog" is the Russian word for God. All I've said is that Jesus existed (which is accepted as a fact, the nutty belief is NOT to believe in Jesus as a...

Which part exactly is bollox? It is a fact that there is pretty much unanimous consensus among scholars of all stripes that Jesus lived and founded Christianity. Perhaps you don't believe we are body, mind and spirit. In fact, you have a mind and a body, but you are your spirit. Your spirit is...

I'm not sure I quite understand what you are referring to here when you say "that." Could you expand on what you mean by this?

Yes, very annoying because you want to see what is going on. Which is why I'd prefer them to incorporate the angle I'm advocating more, especially as play moves towards the goal 🥅 I can see that people are very attached to the side-on view, probably because it's what they're used to, which is...

It's a big assumption to say that God is mythical. I know that's the default position of our secular society these days. It's amazing that many people think Jesus might not have been a real person, when among scholars this is not even a discussion, even among sceptics and atheists. They know...

Perhaps you've had bad experiences with people.
