@mqybanks @joshuatbassett I do agree with you that the church is messed up, but did you not see Joshua‘s post? He said he’s with Christ in Christ alone and yes as a Christian, we shouldn’t support gays but we should be trying to encourage them to choose Christ and change the wayss
@luimacronne@joshuatbassett You got it all wrong he doesn’t hate you he loves you. He just hates the sin of being gay because that is not what he created us for.
@Soralov07359973@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett If that’s what you want to do, do it nobody stopping you God gave us all the choice to see if we would stay with him or leave him and your choice is clear that you leaving so go ahead and do what you want to do…Just know that it will be too late if you end up in hell.
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett If the New Testament authors were making the whole thing up, they would undoubtedly have had men discover the empty tomb. Need more? @joshuaofrome
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett Skeptics at the time implicitly accepted that the tomb was empty, and the fact that the canonical accounts describe women discovering the empty tomb is a testament to the accounts’ reliability
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett Is this evidence of Jesus Christ? The relevant canonical sources for the empty tomb the gospel of Mark and the creed in 1 Corinthians have been dated to within a matter of years of Christ’s Resurrection; thus it’s highly unlikely their accounts are the product of legend.
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett The text of Jesus’s biographies hasn’t been amended or adulterated by later authors. Strobel’s interview with Bruce Metzger confirmed that the documents on which the New Testament is based date to an extremely early period in the church and are authentic.
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett the gospels harmonize on the major points while diverging on minor ones suggests that the authors are reliable and the overall contours of Jesus’s story are factually accurate.
Also, the early church couldn’t have thrived in Jerusalemas it did if the
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett Whereas Strobel once thought the gospels were legends concocted by biased authors, his conversation with Blomberg confirmed that the gospels bear all the markings of trustworthy eyewitness accounts. This is proof that Jesus was a real person.
@SaniyaFitzpatr3@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett Paul warned both the church and the world about the kinds of lifestyles which will keep you out of the Kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10. Galatians 5:17-21. Paul reminded the Ephesian elders in Acts 20 how he did not cease to WARN them, night and day, with tears.
@SaniyaFitzpatr3@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett There’s a difference. Jesus warned people, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish”. This was spoken to the general public, not to “harsh religious judgmental Pharisees”.
@joshuaofrome@joshuatbassett There is a reason why there is a BC:Before Christ, the Bible, good church’s, Israelites, Jews, you need to think. If Jesus Christ wasn’t historically documented then hardly anyone would know about him.
