Posted by SpiritedSen on 05.30.2006, 11:44 AM: Can I just ask a Christian...I read that the the New Testement was written 200 years after Jesus had died...with no eye witness being able to write as they were all dead, does this not compromise the validity and truthfulness of the Book? I mean, history cannot be recorded through hearsay. Any explanations would be greatly appreciated!!

Posted by Phyrra on 05.30.2006, 12:04 PM: Hm.... I'm not sure where you read that, but the four Gospels were written by four of the diciples (matthew, mark luke and john.) All four of these people were eyewitnesses to much of Jesus' preaching and work, and wrote their books as eyewitnesses. The other 24 books in the New testament may not have been written at the time of Jesus, but many of these books do not describe Jesus' life, so the writers didn't need to have been eyewitnesses. The other books include letters to early Christians (e.g from St. Paul). However, as a Christian, I believe that God influenced all of the writing of the Bible. Taking that point of view means it doesn't matter when it was written, because God Himself would have ensured the message was completely valid.

Posted by Phyrra on 06.03.2006, 06:40 AM: Wow Shiawase, thanks for filling me in on Buddhism's view on things. I'm glad you understand how to 'feel' God, I was worried everyone thought I was slighty insane by that comment. It is true.

Posted by micg huz on 06.03.2006, 12:18 PM: gotta say this does seem the most likely and bielvabe (sori cant spell that) position sen. whether a god created it all initially is irelavant, you have to really stuborn to shun evolution - or really untrusting in scientists. |
Posted by shiawase on 06.03.2006, 01:04 PM: I do believe there's a God, no doubt about that Phyrra. Like I said I've felt Him. We do make our own active decisions. God does know the outcome of every decision we will make. He know's our heart, that's why he knows what we'll do. I don't know if any of you have/had a girlfriend/boyfriend but if you've been together for quite some time you tend to know what your partner will do in certain situations. How they'll react to you killing a mouse (she was there when I did it, flipped right out), what they'll say in response to something, you begin to know their sleep pattern even, their eating habits which then let's you know what they may want for breakfast the next day, and when , and what they'll say and how they'll react to this gesture. You know someone's heart and you've got them under your thumb, you've got them figured out. God know's our hearts, He know's what we'll do.

Posted by shiawase on 06.05.2006, 01:00 AM: Quit saying God is omnipotent . You use it every post Isn't there another adjective you could use to describe Him? I mean I know He is all that and a bag of chips but seriously. Yes the question is a bit off and no I've never heard it before. Meh. Canada
