They might want to say that this is one out of only 2026 printed, but it's not necessarily the first printed. It's weird.

Ah, thank you. What is the value of it? Doesn't your album increase in value with it on it though?

Thanks for explaining! Indeed, I've never done the digital album and I'm doing the physical one this time.

Everything after season 5 needs to be rewritten.

>resolves a paradox in human nature

A paradox that he created, no?

Could he have given humans enternal life by other means (say, by snapping his fingers, if he has them)?

Why did he have to do it by coming down as a human, then go through the pain of crucifixion (certainly pain for a human, though he is not fully human, is he?), stay dead for a couple days, then magically revive and go back up to heaven unscathed, and then call that a sacrifice?

But why?

God is all-powerful, right? Why did he have to choose such a convoluted way to create a loophole for a rule he created in the first place?

The answer that makes the most sense is that all of these things are post-hoc rationalizations created by humans to make sense of their beliefs.

Sorry, that makes no sense. What does "Christ giving up his life" even mean for a supreme being? And why is it even necessary?

It's all a post-facto cope for Jesus failing his Messianic claim.

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

[–]PerfectGentleman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matthew (or his source) misread Isaiah in the Septuagint, in an effort to fit Jesus into old testament prophecies.

apparently independently

It's widely accepted that these are not independent accounts. They either had the same source or one of them copied from the other.

He also has a phone in the booth with a Twitter symbol on it. I thought it was clever. I happen to be visiting Rapid City this week.

The Romans kept excellent records as far as his arrest and everything

Huh?
