You do have a sense of humor don't you.
I find it interesting you used "create" instead of evolved in your explanation of the origins of life.
As to Greg, this thread is not the result of his first post on this subject. I split this thread off another one he attempted to highjack and since he refused to abide by our rules Alpha locked the other thread he high jacked and I moved it to a hidden forum so I could repost the original topic minus his attempt to derail it. Here is his first post:
Greg Ralls wrote:There is no historical evidence that Jesus ever existed, so in the absence of any evidence we have to assume that he is merely a mythical character, like Ronald McDonald or Santa Claus. Having a personal relationship with Ronald McDonald sounds a bit silly doesn't it? I suppose every time you have a Big Mac you're reinforcing your relationship with Ron, but what kind of relationship is it? The character of Jesus is based on pagan myths which existed thousands of years before the gospels. The gospels weren't written by the disciples, they were written in Greek and the disciples would have spoken the same language as Jesus, Aramaic. The gospels were written about 100 years after Jesus supposedly lived by people who didn't actually know an historical Jesus, therefore they are merely hearsay. Hearsay is not permitted as evidence in a modern day court of law, therefore the gospels are not evidence that Jesus existed. Having a personal relationship with Jesus (who never existed) is meaningless.
Greg set the tone of this discussion and you and your Aussie friends have continued it without regard to our posting rules or even common courtesy.
You have every right to be skeptical and you have the right to post your opinions, however, you have not posted opinions you have posted other's opinions as facts, facts you cannot establish as truth.
Thomas was skeptical as recorded in Scripture. That is where the term doubting Thomas comes from. The Bible is full of accounts of skeptics, including Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Ruth, and others.
As to Colleen, she is nothing more than an arrogant expletive that will not last long here if her attitude does not change.
Jesus Christ Forums is a Christian forum, however, we do have members of other faiths as well as those unaligned with any faith posting here therefore please keep this in mind when you post. Posters are expected to read, follow, and accept the following rules in all posts entered in any Jesus Christ Forum.
- Be aware of forum categories. We discuss a wide range of topics, which are grouped by subject. Keep posts within the proper category. We reserve the right to move any message posted in the wrong category without notifying the original author.
- No vulgarities or profanity. – This is self-explanatory.
- No spamming, trolling, or cross posting. Don’t post the same message in multiple threads repetition will not validate your position. Trolling consists of provoking large volumes of responses by posting absurdities, deliberately offensive insults, etc. We reserve the right to delete multiple, absurd, and deliberately offensive messages.
- No slandering other posters or dealing in personalities. Some posters hold strong opinions about topics under discussion however, resorting to name calling or derogatory remarks aimed on any poster will not be tolerated. Take you personal differences to emails or private messages. Posting private communications or alluding to such communications on any public forum will be grounds for deactivation of your account and the deletion of your post.
- Use descriptive subject lines. This will allow members and guests to determine if the subject of you post is something they want to read or discuss.
- No copyrighted articles. If you are going to post an article it must be quoted and the source cited.
- No “I’m a better person than you are”. Our members run the gambit from people of faith to atheists. Keep this is mind and refrain from lifting yourself above all others in knowledge, value, orthodoxy, etc. For our Christian members remember there are many faiths but only One Lord, your denomination, doctrine, or understanding of the Bible may not be universally accepted by others.
- Although open forums are not moderated they will be checked for violation of forum rules and appropriate action will be taken at the discretion of the board's management.
- No links to pornographic, commercial sites. Any post that links to pornographic and commercial sites will be deleted and the account of the author will be reviewed and/or deactivated without notification of the author.
- No personal email addresses or other contact information will be tolerated in any post in any forum. Only registered members will be allowed to make personal contact information available in thier profiles. Any post that violates this rule will have the post or personal contact information deleted.
- This board adheres to the historic teachings of Christianity, we reject the liberal views of those who reject the inerrancy of Scripture, a movement that started in the mid 1800's and has led to the acceptance of divorce, abortion, homosexual bishops, and gay unions. Any posts by a self professed Christian that attempts to void the teachings of God as recorded the His revealed Word, The Holy Bible, stands the chance of being deleted!!
We reserve the right to edit or delete any post in violation of these rules without notification of the author or any subsequent posters.
These rules are not open for discussion or debate. If you have a problem with management of this board you can email or private message a moderator or the webmaster.
We also reserve the right to deactivate the account of any author who violates these rules without notification.
We at Jesus Christ Forums reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or delete any board rule(s) by posting them on our website.
You, Olopho, Colleen, and Greg as registered members of this forum agreed to abide by these rules. All of you have purposely and continually violated rules 4 & 7. Greg's first two posts were a gross violation of rules 1 and 3 and before his account was deactivated he violated 4 and 7.
We can agree to disagree, but we as Christian's do not have to sit by so you and your friends can show disrespect for our faith on a forum where you are guests. When guests become disruptive, rude, crass, and downright arrogant they can be evicted at the click of a mouse. You can post the moon is composed of green cheese if you want, but do it with the same respect and consideration you demand for yourself, or the mouse will be clicking.
