i just saw one of his videos on prooving christianity. his argument was more or less that because all the old testament prophesies about jesus came true, such as the virgin birth, crucifixion, resurection came true, then the stories could not have been made up. basically, you can't make up a prophesy and then have it come true.
first of all, jesus and all of his followers were jewish and definately knew the old testament and all of the prophesys. he is ignoring the possibility that the writers wrote the gospel of jesus with the intention of making jesus fill the prophesys.
the birth of jesus for example: none of the disciples knew mary prior to knowing jesus, so how would they know that she gave birth as a virgin. but since they believe jesus is the christ, and Isaiah said that the christ would be born from a virgin mother, then wouldn't it be easy to simply write down that mary was a virgin. just throwing this out as a possibility to prove that venomfang doesn't know everything.
anyways, i just realized i sould probably be telling him this instead of yall, cause i don't think he comes here anymore. even if i believed what he was saying, i still wouldn't like him because he acts like such a know-it-all (in religion, it is impossible to "know-it-all") and he talks like anyone would be foolish to disagree with him. i would like to see a video of him in a debate where there is actually someone there to argue with him. |
