remco,
God does not need the permission of historians and archaeologists or high priests to give His perfect revelation..
"Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness." (Lu 3:2)
There was NO WAY the religious world of that day wanted the gospel of Jesus Christ to spread.
In fact, they wanted Him dead.
:-0
And today?
Jesus Christ is VERY MUCH alive!

The Bible was inspired and providentially preserved by God via HIS promises in HIS way and HIS time, using HIS servants.
ALL timed by God..
"But when the TIME OF THE PROMISE drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt," (Ac 7:17)
The glory train is on a ti med schedule.
Don't miss it.
The Judgments are timed also.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb 4:16)

Be ready.
Receive Him.

trac4yt,
it seems you lack historical knowledge. Christianity is a plagiarism of many pagan religions. Many people in the roman empire welcomed Christianity because of social economic reasons, not because of truth.
You can't just say that god exists based on some fairytales, where is the evidence? In your head I guess.
The bible can't be evidence for itself. Quote from it all you want, it may be uplifting, but it's bullshit, no question about that!

remco,
Satanic counterfeits have abounded throughout history. Read, "The Two Babylons" by Hislop.
Wake up.
The Bible is ALWAYS the sacred and final authority.
You've been listening to too many quack sin-defending, antichrists who thirst for advertising dollars and college loan fund money.
Dump all th at nonsense.
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in ALL the scriptures the things concerning HIMSELF." (Lu 24:27)

When will your soul be claimed?
"For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." (Ro 14:11-12)
Don't show up without THE Advocate..
..Jesus Christ.
Only Christ shuts the mouth of Hell's chief prosecutor.

True--Politics and religion don't/should not mix... Hitchens just overdoes the subject.. Why spend so much time telling others not to believe in something? Newayz, he knows how to debate well, clever and whatnot, but religion hasn't caused all of the said problems this guy believes... It's the people under the religion.. When we recreate life from scratch for the first time.. Then I'll stop believing there is no entity larger than us out there. There are always other reasons to fight too

Trac4yt,
you are seriously f***ed up! I guess you're a home grown born again indoctrinated fundamentalist from Bible Camp. The devil doesn't exists in the same way that god doesn't exist. You're using them as a circular argument of impenetrable closereasoning. Which ofcourse isn't an argument.
The bible has no authority as it's historicity is unreliable at best.
I've been reading books, and went to college instead of just reading the bible. You should try it, there lies your salvation ;)!

Trac4yt,
I love your statement "The Bible is ALWAYS the sacred and final authority."
I love it because I'd like to buy a slave. I'm dutch so I'm allowed to buy an american slave. Would you like to be mine?
I have to go now. I must kill my homosexual neighbor. He's a nice guy, but god demands the killing of gay males in the bible. Can I just shoot him or do I have to stone him?
I just realized that another neighbor never rests on sundays. I'd better kill him too while I'm at it.

Sounds like you're in a time-lock back IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL in tabernacle/temple days.
Yes, all the Old Testament is infallible.

You're a fallen, aging sinner loaded with limitations and deep ethical problems before God.
God can never be charged with ethical fault.
You can be.
Thus, you need HIM.
AND He has GRACE for you..
"For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (Joh 1:17)

Grace came with Jesus Christ? You must be joking! Hell must be lovely. Wasn't it Jesus who gave us grace with this terrible concept? Will you please thank him for that when you're hearing his voice in your head?
By the way: how can God/Jesus be our grace when his/her/its existence has never been proven?

God expects to be KNOWN..
"And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (Joh 17:3)
"If so be that ye have HEARD HIM, and have been TAUGHT BY HIM, as the truth is in Jesus:" (Eph 4:21)
Receive Him.
Enjoy what millions have known.

remo,
Because of sin you deserve JUDGMENT.
God knows it, and the devil knows it.
Because of Christ, you have access to God's MERCY and GRACE.
GRACE is God's unmerited and undeserved favor to you IN CHRIST.
Receive Him.
Forgiveness, everlasting life, deliverance from sin, death, and Hell...

Without eternal values and realities, there are no temporal values.

I asked for proof of God's existence, without that the bible is just a fairytale. All you do is tell me I'm a sinner according to a concept that you are clearly not able to prove.
It's quite easy to quote from the bible and to thinking you're making a point. I can do the same thing with any book.
