Jesus
 

So I don't really know much about this guy but I really dig The Sermon on The Mount and the whole dying for our sins thing was cool. I was wondering if there are any decent books out about him worth buying or if he was just a 2 hit-wonder type guy. Input anyone?

He's just a fictional character man.

Try this.

Re: Jesus
 

he's mocking the Oasis thread...and it's hilarious.

I just wish I had a nickel for every time some whore got knocked up by a roman soldier and didn't want to admit it.

Re: Jesus
 

Whoever moved this to The Trainwreck... brilliant!

Which one is it, more or less? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Actually, if you're an archeologist, you better be Christian, or you're likely to get no funding(Hope you get this one). Christianity, in the current state it's in, depends on historical proofs in order to maintain its validity. Other religions don't have this problem. For instance, in Buddhism, if the Buddha really didn't exist, it doesn't change anything about Buddhism, but if Jesus didn't exist, the whole cookie crumbles.

BTW, there isn't really any historical evidence yet. There is a heavily debated shroud, and a passage in the Jewish historian Josephus accounts at the time. If you know of something else, please tell.

Jesus was da man...He's the only religious figure whose miracles were witnessed in the street AND WRITTEN DOWN by 1000s of people. Muhammad,Joseph Smith,Buddah, etc...These guys all saw something in the woods by themselves and nobody ever witnessed anything to write about them. Who u gonna believe?

Mohammed's wife whom he married when she was six wrote plenty about him.

Re: Jesus
 

my wife thinks i'm great too. LA DE FREEKIN DA.

Actually, word on the street is that Muhammad's wife had to convince/validate him because he wasn't even sure that he had experienced a supernatural event.

Re: Jesus

Re: Jesus

PLUS... people start arguing about Mohammed and his wives in OOT!

Re: Jesus
 

Well... I'm not sure that I really understand the dying for our sins thing, and I think the sermon on the mount (is this where he tells us to pray in our closets?) is kinda cool. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Read some Plato, read some CS Lewis, then read The Book of Matthew, and you should be on your way towards understanding Christian Philosophy. I've read bits and pieces of all of them, and if I had more motivation, I'd definitely read more.

FWIW, I came to philosophy and Plato through reading Ayn Rand, which has a very different outlook than the above authors.

Re: Jesus
 

OOC, is this inspired by seeing a ton of religious people in Guatemala? Whats' going on?

This is way off topic compared to the OP.

Re: Jesus
 

lol - this whole thread was a joke - and it gets better as people keep replying to it seriously.

Re: Jesus
 

Someone please explain the joke, because I'm looking like a major tool right now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I mean, is the joke that she's asking someone to say, "The Bible"? Which is kinda obvious but not really helpful...

Re: Jesus
 

search OOT for the recent thread titled, "Oasis". this will answer everything for you.
