From one assumption that a person believed was a fact. Like I've said over and over, our human brain does not have a processing centre devoted to managing beliefs. Best our brain can do is to use other processors that are not equipped in managing belief based information. You know I flew a small portion of this theory in front of Sam Harris, in the hope it would peek his interests. Nothing....
@I.O.U. says: our human brain does not have a processing center devoted to managing beliefs

Where did that belief come from???

This is why we run toe the LORD Jesus Christ = our Creator

Listen to HIM - John 16:33

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Toe to Toe, Brother! Lol

I remember when I thought I knew everything too! Your what? maybe 22 or so. Your brain doesnt even finish developing until around age 25. We all have a lot to learn.

The right method is preaching the Gospel of God (Mark 1:14-15).

Where did our faith originate when all of humanity was condemned by the fallen angels in the book of Genesis.If it didn't happen Jesus would not of had to come.Its why Jesus came to restore humanity back to heaven by dying for our sins there is no other reason.Jesus came to save you from what the fallen Angels have done to humanity or you will not have eternal life.That is what its all about like it or not its all clearly stated in the bible.You can't earn it you can't buy it and you can't raise yourself up forgiving your own sins only through Christ can you find eternal life.Jesus was victorious on the cross bringing a end to death and raising his soul to heaven so we can all follow it was his mission God's will and why he came.Its a war for souls and the fallen angels want as many as they can get.It is their goal to prevent humanity from entering heaven its what the war is all about.
Jesus didn't show up forgiving sins for no reason he is bringing salvation to humanity because of the fall of humanity which separates us from God and condemns us all to hell.Its clearly stated in the bible and if it didn't happen there would be no need for a bible or Jesus because we would not be in a fallen state.That is where your faith starts if you don't believe in it what is your faith about - why did Jesus come - what is he saving you from if not hell as the bible states.
God sends no one to hell your already have a first class ticket to hell everyone does thanks to the fallen Angels.Jesus is your Saviour from this and the only way to eternal life.I wonder how many Christians truly believe in the fall of humanity if you don't then whats it all about?
Isn't that terrible you were condemned to hell instantly at birth by the fallen Angels and what they have done but God has sent Jesus to save you embrace him there is no other way. The problem is no one actually believes they are in a fallen state in today's world many would like to see it go from the faith but there would be no reason for Jesus to come if it didn't happen.

The problem in the 1st century is persuading people to believe that God - and the Jews knew very well who God is - sent Jesus.

A large number of people today don’t know who the one God is who sent Jesus.

You cannot know who Echad Elohim is until you know FIRST = who Echad Elohim Word is.

A lot of people in scripture knew. Adam knew. Abraham knew. Moses knew. David knew. Jesus knows. The apostles knew.

The echad elohim of the Bible is the echad elohim of Jewish monotheism -> the Messiah’s God and Father, Yahweh.

Anyone who wants to can read it for themselves in scripture.

Who is the God who sent Jesus? Yahweh, his God and Father.

There is no God besides Yahweh.

There are many singular elohim in scripture. The Messiah’s elohim - the Father - is the echad elohim of Jewish monotheism.

…. but there is the Echad Elohim.

The echad elohim is the one (singular) God (singular) of the Bible.

Which Elohim Spoke to the OT saints???
a.) Elohim ABBA
b.) Elohim Ruach HaKodesh
c.) Elohim Word

Yahweh - the one (singular) God (singular) - spoke to the OT Saints.

When did “these last days” (Hebrews 1:2) begin?
