    I suspect many atheists here are happy with that.

    You are a great help to them.

    When you throw the word ‘know’ around in this context you need to illustrate what exactly would contitute undeniable proof.

    11 years studying the pipe organ in a Catholic cathedral gave me quite enough ‘experience’ to turn me off Christianity forever.
    It did however trigger an interest in biblical studies on the principal of ‘know thine enemy’.
    As to religious experiences I’ve had more than a few many would take to be genuine ‘knowledge’ of the devine. I wasn’t fooled.

    Borderline personality disorder at most. I’ll ask my psychiatrist next session for a formal diagnosis and get back to you.
    Thanks for your concern.

    Mental health is no joke. That’s why I support Medicare for All.

    As do I. And when did I say mental health was a joke?
    Given the resident we have in the Whitehouse it sure ain’t no joke, It’s utterly terrifying.
    Way off topic so I’m going to fall asleep in front of the fire . Night nigh Nana.

    Then they can be
    happy in their denial that God exists and enjoy seeing a defense of the faith of believers here.

    I don't think that Christianity is stupid in its pure sense. What is stupid are those so-called Christians who lie, cheat and steal and then
    use the Christian religion for absolution. And the 'born agains' epitomize the stupidity.
    True Christians love their fellow man and try to do good.

    I suspect they enjoy watching you mangle the Christian faith.

    no it was't, it was fighting a terrorist group that happened to be Muslim, trying to fight the entire religion would be like trying to fight all Christians cause the cross buring kkk did something terrorist - we need Muslims on our side to win the fight

    The tables could be turned and we could ask that same question to you. What would it take to constitute adequate proof?

    His coming was part of the law, it was predicted and He fulfilled that.

    What He is saying is that many of those laws were echoed in the NT. In fact, 9 of the 10 are repeated in the NT so they still apply just not as the Ten Commandments. Basically the law in the OT says it will end when Jesus arrives, it is the culmination of those laws which were only there to exist until Jesus arrived. By His arriving he completed that covenant and the new one began with Him.

    So he did not come to break the laws or abolish them, they ended automatically when He arrived which is what He means that He is here to fulfill them.

    So while He did not come to abolish them they ended anyways.
