To be or not to be?

Yeah you sound really smart lol. Maybe if you try to read something other than the Bible (there are some really good none fiction books out there) you'd realise that your daddy doesn't exist.

Lovely.

There was plenty of time after the death of Jesus and before the writing of the gospels for folklore and oral tradition to inspire the inclusion of those words into Mark and Matthew, giving the impression of a fulfilled prophecy. Did Jesus really say those words?

The gospels were certainly shaped by Psalm 22. Have you ever heard of the term "self fulfilled prophecy'?

Yes I understand that. I also understand that asking someone why is questioning them.

Yes as documented in the gospels of Mark and Matthew.

During his torture and crucifixion.

Early Christians embraced what Paul.wrote, that was what I meant by they achieved what they were meant to (at the time.)

I'm not likening myself to Jesus, nobody is going to remember me in 2000 years time... I'm simply saying that Jesus himself questioned God. Paul wrote Corinthians to try and dispel unrest in early Christianity I believe? Those letters achieved what they were meant to do.

If I'm not mistaken Jesus himself questioned God?

And that is totally rational.

Of course you can question God. By the sound of it you can do anything and you'll be forgiven, even murder. That's how contradictory Christianity is... You are supposed to follow the golden rule even if your loved one's are in danger but it's somehow not a problem for murderers to be saved as...

I didn't think deeply when I was a Christian. I just went with the flow, didn't give much thought to what eternal life or who I'd be spending it with. Didn't give much thought to how wrong God's justice system is. I accepted silly explanations and didn't question them. I thought that the...

Can you not see how awful that is..... Let's go back to scenarios. I get home from work one night and my entire family are being attacked, now being a good Christian I try to intervene without killing but unfortunately the attacker overpowers me and knocked me out cold. When I awake my entire...

I'm concerned that people who have been raped or murdered may have to rub shoulders with their attackers, That's why I asked the question about memory.

That very much depends on what home looks like. Would I be rubbing shoulders with murderers and rapists from this life who have become born again Christians and have been washed clean? Would they have recollection of their crimes or would their minds be wiped clean too?

So why would a God who had no beginning and has always been around create the earth 4.5 billion years ago? Or for YECs no more than 10,000 years ago? Can anyone explain what God was doing before creating earth? If you're reply is creating the universe then you must concede that the universe had...

Are you an old earth creationist?

I was always told that God has a plan for me, whoever I spoke to about the subject didn't ever go into any detail about what that plan is, therefore I wouldn't have a clue about what my forever existence might look like. I'm the type of person who likes to know what he's getting into before...
