I think we are going in circles. Both of us recognise that the cross on its own is just an object, That is becomes significant because of Jesus and that it is Jesus who is important..

Learn to walk before you can run. How good are you at reading just one chapter of the bible every day? If you have been doing that for longer than a month, try reading through the bible in a year. That means reading 4 chapters a day.

Yes a fact, nothing more. The cross is a brutal method of slowly killing someone, as the OT says, ' cursed is everyone who is hung on a cross'. What is significant is who died and rose again from that death and what they achieved. The cross is merely a symbol, nothing more.

Why then would he ask for this ' cup ' to pass from him. He was about to be beaten, flogged and crucified something that anyone would want to avoid. Let alone the problem of bearing All our sin, its guilt, shame and punishment. Jesus could carry our sin and take our punishment because he was...

We are talking about a closed system, about Christianity. The cross is a symbol of Christianity.

He was old enough to marry, so hardly a child.

So Jesus, the one through whom ALL things were created does not know what he is talking about.

No it is practical care and evangelism. Read the gospels again, who did Jesus associate with? Prositutes, drunkards, traitors, the scum of the earth.

Sorry for the long delay in coming back. There is evidence for a creater, I've already shown you it. There is evidence that the bible is special and there is historical evidence that Jesus is unique. It is reasonable to believe in God, but it is not reasonable to not believe in God, unless...

Not totaly correct. A ' cult ' is a religous organisation or group that has practices or views consider abnormal by most other groups, or is very insular with there own peculiar views practices, or they have there own authority either in a book or a person. How an organisation views Jesus, how...

Test yourself. Just how many of your colleagues, neighbours, family etc are blatent sinners. How do you interact with them? Do you know what ' Love the sinnerbut hate the sin ' means? It is not about adopting a homosexul life style or inviting all the junkies over to do drugs etc etc I is...

And because of it you ignore John 3:16-18. Romans 10:9, Romans 4:1-4, Ephesians 2:8+9 Acts 15:11 and many others that all talk about being saved through faith with no mention of works.

So what is truth ? So sneered at those who doubt science and evolution. Strawmen tactics. Lets get real, is Jesus a liar or not? Jesus said that Adam was from the begining of creation. That leaves no room for evolution. Where do you stand on the truth, or do you prefer science fiction?

Where do you want to begin. Creation fits what we see and are able to test of the history of the world far better than the evolutionary theories, from mutation rates, population growth, physical geology all fit into a recent creation, while there are numerous problem with trying to explain it...

We are to love those who hate us, to convict them of sin or to bring judgement upon them. We can hate the sin but really do have to seek to LOVE the sinner.

Scientists don't automaticly fill in a gap! Scientists follow what ever the ruling idea is whethher it is the big bang, dark matter/energy, evolution. They automaticly fill in the gap. I've asked you to explain why the universe exsists, you are unwilling to do that. I think that is because...

Sorry but you are incorrect. People, scientists start by looking and questioning, but they quickly find information that influences how they investigate or how they account for the information. Today we all have preconcieved ideas and biases. For someone who is asking for eviednce that there is...

A doctrine built on one verse is questionable.

How can there be truth in a strawman argument? You have said that people who believe the bible is true cannot use any form of modern technology. People have believed the bible is true for centuaries and have used tecchnology not available to the first centuary world. Have people correctly...

If you read my posts have have never said that. You are reading that into what I have said. You are or have built a doctrine on one verse, that is a dangerous thing to do. In doing this you limit God to only what you understand. By insisting that only baptised people can be Christian you are...
