Being "cool" isn't gonna keep the flames of Hell off of you.


Don't need to be "cool" to know who MY God is...to ME it IS "cool" to know Christ as your personal Lord and savior. Not trying to preach on here, I respect all beliefs and people, so I'm not criticizing or trying to be holier than thou, I'm just confident that I know what I know and if I can share His goodness with someone else, than I've done what I need to do.

I know that we're in those prophesied days, but I take great comfort that "no man knows the day nor the hour..."
You just have to be ready and have your "house" in order...

The truth is in My opinion is Religion is man made. Who here has seen jesus?? I believe that there is a higher power but there is no one here in my opinion who can prove Jesus is the son of God.

People say one of two things either they have faith or because it's in the bible. We know for a fact the Bible has been tampered with we also know that the image of Jesus has been tampered with. So if we keep it a buck if jesus was to walk up to you today you wouldn't even know what you are looking for or how to identify the man.

Such indeed were the precautions of human wisdom. The next thing was to seek means of propitiating the gods, and recourse was had to the Sibylline books, by the direction of which prayers were offered to Vulcanus, Ceres, and Proserpina. Juno, too, was entreated by the matrons, first, in the Capitol, then on the nearest part of the coast, whence water was procured to sprinkle the fane and image of the goddess. And there were sacred banquets and nightly vigils celebrated by married women. But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.

~Cornelius Tacitus, The Annals Book XV Chapter 44
Tacitus was one of the greatest historians of Rome. Are you saying he made this up? Who else do we know was executed by a Procurator named Pontius Pilate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius and credited with founding a religion named 'Christianity'?​

i've posted this before...

do i believe in the scriptures of the bible? hell nah.


but religions have inspired people to change/save their own lives and also do amazing other things. so to absolutely shyt on it is fukking retarded to me. whatever inspires people whether it be money/church/music idgaf as long as they are doing positive things. i've seen way too many friends/family/random people turn their lives around off religion to think it's pointless. even if it doesn't work for me. do you yall. :salute:

i've seen people overcome serious addictions based on belief. i've also seen people with no belief overcome addiction. so i don't think there is a "right" answer, but i'm not here to shyt on things that have saved lives. especially lives amongst my family and friends.

Even conservative writers such as James Still have problems with the authenticity of the Tacitus passage: For one, Tacitus was an imperial writer, and no imperial document would ever refer to Jesus as "Christ." Also, Pilate was not a "procurator" but a prefect, which Tacitus would have known. Nevertheless, not willing to throw out the entire passage, some researchers have concluded that Tacitus "was merely repeating a story told to him by contemporary Christians."

Based on these and other facts, several scholars have argued that, even if the Annals themselves were genuine, the passage regarding Jesus was spurious. One of these authorities was Rev. Taylor, who suspected the passage to be a forgery because it too is not quoted by any of the Christian fathers, including Tertullian, who read and quoted Tacitus extensively. Nor did Clement of Alexandria notice this passage in any of Tacitus's works, even though one of this Church father's main missions was to scour the works of Pagan writers in order to find validity for Christianity. As noted, the Church historian Eusebius, who likely forged the Testimonium Flavianum, does not relate this Tacitus passage in his abundant writings. Indeed, no mention is made of this passage in any known text prior to the 15th century.

The tone and style of the passage are unlike the writing of Tacitus, and the text "bears a character of exaggeration, and trenches on the laws of rational probability, which the writings of Tacitus are rarely found to do." Taylor further remarks upon the absence in any of Tacitus's other writings of "the least allusion to Christ or Christians." In his well-known Histories, for example, Tacitus never refers to Christ, Christianity or Christians. Furthermore, even the Annals themselves have come under suspicion, as they themselves had never been mentioned by any ancient author....

In any event, even if the Annals were genuine, the pertinent passage itself could easily be an interpolation, based on the abundant precedents and on the fact that the only manuscript was in the possession of one person, de Spire. In reality, "none of the works of Tacitus have come down to us without interpolations."

If you were born in Saudi Arabia you wouldn't believe in him breh. Your religion is based on location. The end.

Breh, your ENTIRE post came from Acharya S.'s site........

Pliny, Tacitus and Suetonius: No Proof of Jesus

Acharya S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

She's a 'Christ Myther' whose 'scholarship' has been used for shows such as Ancient Aliens and Zeitgeist, and all of her 'assertions' regarding Jesus' historicity have been soundly refuted.​
