Jebe might be right. That opinion can't be dismissed. It doesn't really matter, does it? Unless and until God, perhaps an amalgamation of gods with an understanding of that the result is a concentration of power for the believer, step down upon the earth, it will always be a simple matter of Faith, certainly no small thing. I suspect that requires tremendous consensus before anything comes of it, which has always been a big problem, even in a single congregation.

I doubt the Bible can be so revised anyway. Joos won't have it. They can't. They are not disposed that way.

I think Jesus addressed that, perhaps God too and i think both did.   He sent his Son, God in the flesh, and Israel despised him.    Thus showing that you can put the real thing here on earth right in peoples' faces with miracles, miraculous healings, supernatural happenings and STILL...they won't believe it.

""and other overwhelming evidence of young earth.""

Good luck with that , you'll need it lol

college courses...probably not in today's anti christian climate...our little university radicals would need to run to their safe places.

People have been living in groups for a couple of hundreds of thousands of years. Groups always come with rules. Don't steal. Don't kill. Those who followed the rules left more children than those who stole and killed. We have large brains because we live in groups. We need large brains so we can identify those who are in our group.

No religion was required.

It wasn't called religion then..and it wasn't a couple hundred thousands of years that man has been on earth.   Those rules didn't come from man.  They come from a creator.  Show me evidence of man coming up with rules for dealing with his fellow man.

JOSHUA BEN JOSEPH was a real person and i have no doubt he was crucified, the rest is a fairy tale and folk law , There are many different religions out there what make you think yours is the only true one ?

God Created Man...but Man created gods that more closely fit their desires.

Man made "religion", not God. What passes today as "religion" has nothing whatsoever to do with God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit. Islam is called a "religion", Buddha is called a "religion", Satanism is called a "religion", Wicca is called a "religion", climate change is called a "religion", all sorts of man made beliefs/ideologies/philosophies are called "religions" now, it's a lie like everything else that we are fed but, it is "tolerated".

There are even people who call themselves christians who have decided that they know "better" than God Almighty and have written the Bible to suit themselves. Other people who claim to be "christians" who ignore certain books/passages of God's word because they don't agree with nor understand them.
