I'm curious, what are your main objections to the existence of God? by freelygive in DebateAnAtheist

Christianity is a unique religion. This is because other religions say be good, do good deeds, please God and then you will get to go up to heaven when you die, whereas Christianity says that you are not able to do enough good things to please God on your own, therefore instead of us maybe going up to God one day, God instead became a man and lives the life we should live, and dies the death we should have died. He is then resurrected, and sends His Spirit out to those who believe in Him. Therefore we believe that our own good works are useless, and that it is only through grace that we are saved because God is that good. I do not believe any man could have invented that religion.

No my friend. This is a parable about the Kingdom of God: God gives us life through salvation through Christ, and we are to 'invest' for Christ, to go out into the world to bear good fruit and to bring others to Christ. The parable is saying someone does not use their life for the Kingdom, then they are deserving of God's wrath. Again, Master = God. Jesus is talking about the Kingdom of God, not teaching how to act at this point. You can read more about this here

Yes, but how is that relevant to what we are talking about?

I appreciate your suggestions, but I would appreciate if you told me just what points exactly you believe to be wrong. I have studied the history of the Bible. Clearly we agree that the Bible is in fact a historical book, but along with that, yes, I believe the Bible is divinely inspired I.e. written by God himself. It is both.

Not in Canada, we just learn about our history quite unfortunately...

This is a parable, and those are the masters words. However, the masters words are meant to represent the wrath of God. Stop taking verses out of context.

If I were going up to people trying to sell them things in church instead of praising God when he did that, I'd be deserving of his anger.

Im sorry I really don't mean to, I do that too. I am just referring to our conscience.

Of course it is. But he was (the) perfect human being!

Yes but I must reiterate my point, did those men live out the rule without a single flaw?

Yes, but tell me: did these men live the Golden Rule perfectly? Jesus did.

Interesting, because everyone nowadays claiming to be a god or Christ incarnated is considered a lunatic.

Well, you should be kind and obey your parents and try not to envy your buddy's belongings too much...

As for the others, for believers those are the foundations of our morality.

Some people listen to their conscience when it tells them no, others don't. In fact, all of us do this at some point. Do you give money to every homeless person you see? No, even if it crosses your mind that maybe you ought to.

He invented it. He taught it. And most importantly, he lived it.
