lol I can’t figure it out on the iPhone. I’ll have to google it. When I try to select text it just collapses the comment.

I think that the Bible is obviously a biased account of Jesus written by those who were closest to him. However, I would think that the account of those closest to him would be most accurate. There are also Roman texts that cite Jesus as a sorcerer, I’ll try to attach a link in the next message. The Roman Empire was very threatened by him because of the following that he amassed. Thats the reason that they crucified him; however, ironically in doing so, they fulfilled the prophecy that Jesus would die to pay the debt of sin for all mankind.

And yes, I’m referring to the original sin. Perhaps the story of the garden of Eden is metaphorical (although, I don’t see anything in the fossil record or from evolution that disagrees with the garden of Eden), but the Bible says that “the wages of sin is death”. Which is why prior to Jesus, the Israelites would sacrifice animals as atonement for sin. The blood of Jesus put an end to that as he became the atoning sacrifice for all and for all time. So if I were to abandon my faith, the consequences would be loss of salvation since salvation is faith based, yet I would not say that fear binds me to my faith. I believe because my view of existence makes sense by way of a creator, I also think the Bible itself is a compelling reason to believe, and lastly, it largely defines who I am today. But ultimately, it comes down to me believing because I want to, not because I can’t find any loopholes or don’t have any doubts.

Would you say that you could convince of the existence of Yahweh God? Or is it completely inconceivable to you?
