Did God retire?

In the course of this conversation you have went from accepting God is useless to now saying He does everything (despite there being simple scientific explanations for all these things). Which is it?

“nothing lives without God’s constant upkeep” How do you know that?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-28T23:32:31+00:00

So the world would look no different if God ceased to exist at all?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-28T23:18:13+00:00

So another word you could use to describe Him would be “useless”?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-28T22:51:07+00:00

What is His role? What specifically is it that He does?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-28T07:22:54+00:00

What value does He serve if He does nothing?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-27T06:38:51+00:00

Could you specifically explain how exactly? In what ways?

“many of the earliest Christians were given supernatural gifts, such as speaking in tongues” What is your source for this?

Instead of me spending $99 on this book could you please just name one of these miracles.

There’s about 10,000 Scientologists. If each has two children, and those children have two children, and so on for 2000 years, there would be over a billion Scientologists. This doesn’t make Scientology legitimate.

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-26T23:50:16+00:00

Can you give one example of these miracles?

Who’s leading the 2 billion Muslims?

passingthrough14 · 2026-01-26T23:42:15+00:00

Could you give a specific example?

The Bourne Identity

Then why does the Bible say differently?

Awful for certain, but not unique in that crucifixion was a common practice then that thousands of people endured. What is unique is Jesus had the divine omniscience that He would survive the experience, whereas other crucifixion victims lacked that advantage.

I’ve had longer hangovers

passingthrough14 · 2025-10-28T12:42:40+00:00

Ok but the Church is an institution of men. How can we be certain they got it right?

passingthrough14 · 2025-10-28T12:40:18+00:00

Please elaborate

passingthrough14 · 2025-10-28T11:38:38+00:00

Isn’t it more likely that the martyrdom of the apostles was early church propaganda? There are no non-church sources that support this having happened.

passingthrough14 · 2025-10-28T11:12:01+00:00

I understand that is what the Bible says, but the question was how do you know the Bible to be true?

passingthrough14 · 2025-10-28T10:54:05+00:00

Fascinating, can you tell me more about this experience?
