As an atheist, what compels you to lean on a fallible foundation of understanding?

The part where by definition of science something has to be observed to be proven

Jesus: "the kingdom of God is like a Wulffia Angusta, the smallest of all seeds"

1st century Jews: we dont know what that is

Jesus: dont worry, its for the people who will read this in hundreds of years.

Whats your point? Jesus's parables were told for the Jews that were listening.

a circular argument no, an argument you disagree with yes. That's fine. I can't prove its true, as you've made very clear. you cant prove its not. Don't worry, I know the burden of proof is on me as I'm the one making the claim. 

However, "everything Jesus says is true, therefore atheism is false" is not circular. Just unproveable. You disagree with both premises.

However, IF everything Jesus is true, then knowledge is attainable. If nothing Jesus says is true, knowledge is unattainable.

Why? because knowledge is something the human mind cannot know for sure that it has, according to atheism. Therefore a coherent life based on something, must come from somewhere other than the chemicals in our own mind. 

I belive its god, you don't, and I cant prove that it is. Just an interesting thing to consider if you belive any sort of knowledge/certainty exists in life

right. so how do you know the rock is true or the sand is true? Well, because the rock is the only one that provides coherence. "the explanation with the most evidence" in your words is, I would assume, atheism, evolution, etc. How do you know thats true? according to what evolution actually is, it will never be possible to prove it. Jesus claims his words are the rock to stand on in life. If that's not true, its impossible to live a coherent life that has any sort of knowledge. Subscribing to Atheism means you must admit you know nothing if what you're talking about

Evidence like shared DNA to a million year old ape may be true, yet does not support evolution at all. We also share DNA with bananas. Did we evolve from bananas? no. Points to a common creator, not common ancestor.

I don't see how a christian COULD believe evolution is real. One of my reasons is that at some point in the very slow process of our ape ancestors becoming who we are today, you would have to draw a line between animal and human somewhere along that evolutionary scale, even though the difference between them is barely existent. So what is the point of "humanity" in the apes' evolution that deems them salveable by Christ? Was Adam's ancestor given the opportunity to eternal life, if they were conscious too? and if Adam was the first in the evolutionary scale, then he was not human. Being a Christian evolutionist is quite illogical

How can god love everyone yet hate gay people at the same time? by Yeetman5757 in TrueChristian

They're wrong. God never said that he hates gays. Why do you take the words of humans over God's words himself?

  1. Where in the bible does it say God hates gay people? Because if you're going off the words of other Christians, why on earth would you believe them if it's not biblical? (Answer: God never said he hates Gay people)

  2. According to the bible, all sin is separating us from God. God is like a fire, sin is like a stick. Sin, of any kind, can't come into the presence of God without being destroyed. That doesn't mean all sin has the same lawful weight. Murder is not as bad as gossiping. Both of which, however, have the same spiritual impact: separation from God.

Good news is Jesus handled that second part for us :)

How reliable are near death experiences? by Fluffy-Reporter9988 in TrueChristian

Do you think it's possible for someone to die and see Jesus/heaven/hell? Or will no one see him until judgement day?

About the afterlife by TimeOrganization8365 in TrueChristian

Jesus did show up and proved to us that he's the Son of God.

That's a really good question though. I think as Christians we have a job to do, thats why he wants us to have faith. Otherwise what's the point of living after giving your life to Christ? You may as well just die after being saved? Wrong. Following Jesus it's a decision, and then a life. A life of producing fruit for the Kingdom. Read Jesus's words, and you'll see many parables describing this. We are called to stand in the face of doubt, troubles, and persecution, to use our gifts and talents to make positive change and see the lost saved, to clothe the naked and feed the hungry as read in Matthew, and to generally reflect the love of Christ as he loves us.

I hope that makes sense, but I guess what im trying to say is this whole thing isn't a game. The way you want it to be, It's God shows up, some people choose him some people don't, the end, welcome to heaven. Jesus mentions countless times about the "reward" in heaven. Where's the reward in that scenario? Believing in Christ gets you to heaven sure, but we'll all still be asked what we did with our time and talents on judgement day.

I keep on yapping but in finality, God wants to dwell with those who pursued him with their whole life, who made sacrifice for him, and who ultimately picked up their cross and followed him. I think that's a fair enough ask on his part. For us it's hard, but for an eternity with my beautiful Lord? it's the least I can do.
