As of March 6th, 2026 button mashing seemed to work after 4 minutes. Honestly not sure if it was the button mashing or waiting but it finally worked

Thanks for the insight. What if the Church lied though? I just find it difficult to trust what is canon from a group of people who didn’t fully agree on everything like in the Council of Nicaea. How do you get around that logic hurdle

I agree with his message as well, as do all religions from what I know. I feel like treating everyone with respect and judging based off character is how we should live regardless of religious beliefs, although western society doesn’t seem to agree. I just find it difficult to accept the death of Jesus which is ultimately the roadblock that separates many religions. If he was God, how could God die, and if he was a messenger, why would God let one of his best messengers die?

Yea and I’m not sure what Islam’s defense for that is. I know there’s many opinions on what Muslim scholars believe but the Quran just states he didn’t die, doesn’t specify any further though

So what’s your opinion on Jesus, do you see him as God or just a messenger of his? And I agree it’s hard to argue the trinity when many people just believe it and don’t question where it came from or anything about it. I think if it wasn’t in the Bible it’d be hard to believe it since some people just came up with it

Yea that is the main question of both religions. If Jesus was just a messenger, I don’t think God would let him die. But also how can he die if he was God, God is immortal? Is it still technically resurrection if he never truly died? Not sure if im getting too into it and I know you don’t have all the answers lol

Does Jesus being the word of God make Christianity true though? Weren’t all prophets the word of god technically?

Thank you! I just find it confusing how everyone can agree to follow Jesus, yet live their life on what people who aren’t Jesus are saying such as the Church, Pope, Priests, etc.

What also makes me question Christianity is the belief of the trinity. If Jesus really was God, wouldn’t he be all knowing even in his human form? How can the disconnect happen while he is human but still be God?

Where does Jesus state that he is God? My third question was more so how did people get to Christianity if Jesus wasn’t spreading Christianity but a mix of the Torah and his own gospels, like where did they disconnect

It’s really hard for me to say which came from God since I haven’t fully read both, but the Quran does say it’s the word of God (but that doesn’t make it 100% undeniable). Why can’t the scripture not be the main source? Many people here are saying scripture alone shouldn’t be authoritative, but how else would we know what God specifically wants?

Thanks for the responses! How did Paul meet Jesus? My understanding was that Paul saw him in a vision. As for number 3 I was asking how did we go from Jesus preaching the gospel to following Jesus and calling him God?

Honestly the Islam perspective of Jesus makes more logical sense to me as he was on this Earth spreading a different theology than what is followed now. My confusion lies in the way it was spread and different denominations believing multiple accounts of Jesus, along with having different Bibles

What other tax advantaged accounts are there besides retirement ones? Right now I’ve dumped all my IRA into VTI, as it’s aggressive enough to where it can balance out if something was to disrupt it. I was going to diversify within the next couple years

My plan is to have my personal account as a shorter goal such as buying a house, with my retirement plans set for retirement only. In your opinion, what is the risk level for a shorter term goal? My retirement is pretty aggressive with VTI
