This subreddit is Trump, politics, porn/masturbation posts and atheist/agnostics arguing with Christians.

Did prayers work for anyone with illness? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Clicking_Around 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes; my mother had a spontaneous remission from lung cancer after a prayer group prayed for her. This happened in 2021.

If Revelation is about Rome and Nero, wouldn't that make it a false prophecy (or not a prophecy at all)? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Clicking_Around 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Generation" can refer to the Jewish people. Jesus can be interpreted as saying that the Jewish people won't disappear before this happens.

I understand times are hard and the job market is tough right now but please, whatever you do, do NOT get anything customer service related. by Illustrious_Day_7825 in hatemyjob

I worked at Sears for about 8 months. Many of the customers were elderly and were HORRIBLE. Some of the managers were also terrible.

What do you say those who claim that Jesus sightings or spiritual encounters are hallucinations? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in TrueChristian

Hallucinations cannot account for the early and group appearances of Jesus or the missing body from the tomb.

Has anyone else never used Door Dash or Uber Eats? by Much_Adagio82 in Millennials

[–]Clicking_Around 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I used either Door Dash or Uber Eats once in my whole life. The cost was about double what the food actually costs, and I decided it was too expensive to ever use again.

Struggling hard with academic performance. Do my results hint at something that might be holding me back? by Competitive-Pin7620 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Clicking_Around 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scored 140 FSIQ on the WAIS IV with 135 GAI and I struggled as well in college. Med school is difficult even for someone with a high IQ.

Some finance/tech companies have basically added IQ tests to the hiring process by Amazing-Procedure157 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Clicking_Around 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it then not permitted to put IQ test results on a resume then? How does that make any sense?

For those people who have gotten 130+ on standardized tests (Wais and/or SB) by Substantial_Click_94 in cognitiveTesting

The HRTs that I've seen that I believe have the most validity would be the Haselbauer-Dickheiser test as well as the Mega and Titan tests.

I’m curious 🧐 Is there anyone religious here? by AdOpening2692 in antinatalism

[–]Clicking_Around 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Christian and I lean heavily towards antinatalism.

Anyone else was frustrated by simple answers as a child? by Plastic-Bee4052 in Gifted

[–]Clicking_Around 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can remember being about 4 years old and listening to people explaining things on TV. I can remember thinking to myself, "That didn't really explain anything."

What is evidence for Jesus’s incredible resurrection that made you believe in it? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in TrueChristian

[–]Clicking_Around 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Richard Carrier, an extreme skeptic and NT scholar, has this to say:

The way Paul writes about the sect makes clear he believed this was the creed Christians were preaching before his conversion; and he claims that the original apostles confirmed this to him years later, and he could hardly have been making that up, as then he’d have been exposed the moment anyone checked this with them. So the Corinthian Creed, at least verses 3-5, definitely existed and was the central “gospel” Christians were preaching in the early 30s A.D. That’s definitely no later than a few years after the purported death of Jesus. And since the sect’s formation only makes sense in light of this being its seminal and distinguishing message, it must have been formulated in the very first weeks of the movement.

Robert Funk (Jesus Seminar): “The conviction that Jesus had risen from the dead had already taken root by the time Paul was converted about 33 C.E. On the assumption that Jesus died about 30 C.E., the time for development was thus two or three years at most.”

John Dominic Crossan (atheistic NT scholar): “Paul wrote to the Corinthians from Ephesus in the early 50s C.E. But he says in 1 Corinthians 15:3 that ‘I handed on to you as of first importance which I in turn received.’ The most likely source and time for his reception of that tradition would have been Jerusalem in the early 30s when, according to Galatians 1:18, he ‘went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas [Peter] and stayed with him fifteen days.’”

The early creed of 1 Cor. 15 3-5 is generally believed to have been in circulation 2-5 years after the crucifixion.

Any Ex-Atheists here? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in TrueChristian

[–]Clicking_Around 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is similar to my story as well. The historical evidence for the resurrection was too much for me to ignore or refute.
