  I don't know about the US but in the UK it's dog food unless you go to expensive restaurants.
  They use artificial flavour enhancers cos Chinese cusine is tasteless of its own, cheap cuts of meat and poultry and cheap oils.

  No secular evidence for Jesus. What does this imply?

  by Spectrum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a man that performed miracles including raising the dead has left no secular evidence.

  but as i write this the question has come to mind of what ancient evidence constitutes verifiable, believable evidence that we can take to the bank?

  we have the nt and the apocrypha, ancient texts that tell a story of the early christians.

  A friend just came up with an interesting explanation; Maybe there is no secular evidence because his public life only lasted three years hence the window of opportunity was very small.
  
  Anybody agree

  Slap on some make-up and you can stick him on the cover Cosmopolitan.
  Correct me if I'm wrong but women can't like men that look like women. I know men definitely don't like women that look like men. That is an absolute turn off.

  Mary Magdalene

  if it was proven that jesus, in fact, has a bloodline.

  what do you think this will do to religions?

  and is it at all possible to prove that mary magdalene and jesus had an intimate relationship?

  Hang on a sec. If Jesus was without sin and could not die then christianity has created a contradiction. Is my logic correct?

  Cyber that is a good point.
  All their anti-rhetoric on sex, you'ed think that cutting their dicks to lose sensitivity would play towards their belief that sex is dirty.

  We have the NT and the apocrypha, ancient texts that tell a story of the early christians. Why is any of this less believable regarding the existence of the central character, Jesus, than the characters of Josephus? How many of Josephus's characters are corroberated in the secular way that is expected of Jesus?
  
  Does Jesus require a higher standard of evidence considering the claims that have been made about him?

  jwfacts,
  
  "The issue is whether Jesus really died as a sacrifice. If he did not die, but moved away with Mary and had a family than there was no Ransom paid for forgiveness of sins."
  
  What if he died of old age? Doesn't the ransom thing still apply?

  607 bce or 587 bce

  by jw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jerusalem 607 bce vindicated.

  why jehovahs witnesses are right for sticking to the bibles chronology of 607 bce for the destruction of jerusalem.

  arguments for 587 bce are scripturally flawed, causing four bible prophecies to fail.

  What intrigued me was how the text kept refering to apostates. That is an interesting play on psychology against the R&F. Basically don't listen to the alternative view as they from THOSE apostates which Jehovah will destroy.
  
  Looking through all the dates and their significance or lack thereof, again at some point the bible associates the name, Jehovah with death, destruction and killing of people. Does this not disturb these, love thy neighbour, Christians enough to research into the nature of this jewish God? He sounds so pagan-like.
  
  I really can't get my head round this dichotomy.
