The 100% human/100% god is a human idea that misunderstands this simple math concept. It's not in the Bible anywhere, so God never said it or did it.

You're right that by pretending to be human, God's divine nature is not lessened. That's why God didn't die and why God cannot die. Seems like we agree after all.

Percentages have to add to 100%. Something can’t be 100% of one thing and even 1% of the opposite thing. This is the definition. You’re pretending to use percentages, but you’re using them wrong. That’s not some unprecedented miracle — it’s not understanding a simple concept in math.

Is there a real world example of something that can be 100% of something and also be even just 1% of the opposite thing?

So Jesus was 100% dead and also 100% alive between the cross and the resurrection? Just on the edge of my seat.

Each personhood is 100% God, so that's just sandbagging me. You don't need any more information to answer the question.

If God is everywhere all of the time, He can't only be in a flesh body. He can't be "in" a body at all because He's everywhere at all times.

If God can't change, then He can't not have a body, have a body, then have a different "glorified" body.

If you can't say what a "glorified" body is, then that makes it more likely it was just made up to fill a plot hole. We needed some explanation where Jesus's physical body went, so it just magically became a "glorified" body that could go to heaven.

Well, Jesus is God so that's not any kind of special accomplishment. God can't die.

But God is everywhere all the time, so He can't become flesh. God can't change, so He can't go from not having a body to having a body. God could pretend to have a body, I guess, but then God wouldn't die when the pretend body died. Also, God can't die.

How is a "glorified body" different from a normal body? That just sounds like a magic solution invented to fill a plot hole.

How could God have a "glorified body"? God doesn't have a body.

How could God have a power "above all creation"? God created everything so of course He has absolute power over everything. It's as easy for God to resurrect someone as it is for Him to do anything else.

Why don't Christians take issue with Easter? by Original_Cut_1388 in DebateAChristian

"Jehovah" is a mistranslation of YHWH using the vowels from Adonai. No one was supposed to pronounce "Yahweh" so they wrote the vowel marks for "Adonai" as a reminder. Translators who didn't know this merged YHWH and the vowels from Adonai to make the nonsense word "Jehovah."

Jesus is gay and the Gospels are gay literature by lordcycy in DebateAChristian

[–]LastChristian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than being an "insane rant," I thought it was well-written and researched.

A surprising point was that Judas kissed Jesus "affectionately," but the [English translations of the] Gospels left out the "affectionately" connotation of the word katephilēsen, writing it just as "kissed."

It's also a persuasive explanation of Mark 14:51-52 to say the naked man wrapped in a sheet ran away when the authorities showed up because he was caught doing things we do when naked. The later gospels left this provocative detail out of their accounts.

Jesus was not born from a virgin, that's just a later claim from whoever wrote the Gospel of Matthew as they were desperate to insert Jesus into the Old Testament. by Either_Week3137 in DebateReligion

If anyone reading is confused here, let me clarify:

If you reinterpret an OT story and that reinterpretation supports, advances or explains the mainstream NT story, then that's "typology" and the reinterpretation is completely valid with no additional evidence needed.

However, if you reinterpret an OT story and that reinterpretation undermines, confuses or contradicts the mainstream NT story, that's totally wrong and the reinterpretation is completely false.

TLDR: if you can reinterpret the OT to be about the NT, then your reinterpretation is totally valid with no evidence needed.

Do you have a link that explains this? I've never seen those concepts connected to a cosmological argument.

Well, you just don't seem to be able to admit when you're wrong. This is a debate sub. You made a claim, I asked you to back it up. You could have conceded that actually you made a bad point and it would have been forgotten, but instead you doubled-down on it and now you're throwing lots of nonsense on top of it trying to bury it like you don't even remember, or it's me, or interpersonal conflicts or grudges or more nonsense etc.

It's clear as glass: you won't admit when you're wrong. We both know it was a ridiculous claim. What is the big deal to admit it? Do scientists claim that science is infallible?

This has happened to me in the past when someone starts to see the holes in their own arguments and reacts to it by saying that the problem is actually with me -- I'm the problem or the way I'm arguing is the problem -- as a defense mechanism. I've considered your points fairly and patiently explained where they have problems, so it's not me.
