Oh my good God? What class are you? You are missing the point! i didn't come to prove that you didn't eat yesterday. Call your cohort please, he should understand better. Though as usual, he'd rather you remain the fool.

It is not. Jesus' existence is irrelevant, what is relevant is proving all the supernatural attributes.
Of course, it's a different game with you. He believed and is convinced that Jesus never existed and I only need to cite Historians who mentioned him.
Debating his life is another thing
Re: How I Became An Atheist. by Pelecius: 1:28pm On Jul 28, 2021
LordReed:


Mentioning Jesus is not not the same as proof of his existence (note I do not doubt that he existed). Tactius and Josephus mention Jesus because they were speaking about Christians, it's like speaking of Buddhists and mention Buddha, it doesn't mean Buddha is still alive somewhere or that he has/had supernatural powers.
These were Historians. They were not just any Dick and Harry that were just babbling. The mentioning was in the sense of real events and of course, that the Christians were his (real person) followers. (I think I know that you don't subscribe to such idea)

And again, I wasn't arguing for who he was, but just that his existence can be corroborated with extra Biblical documents which he thought does not exist.

When someone says "you have changed" are they saying you have become an entirely different type of being or that you have changed your mind/behaviour on certain things?
The context of the situation will determine. I don't believe that you don't know what he was referring to when he said God does not change, yet said he was portrayed differently in new testament.
I believe you would also know what he was referring to when he said God changed his mind. This imply that I can change my mind by not eating rice, and opting for beans. It doesn't follow that I have become a different person , say I used to be a cheat, but I am no longer one.
Those are the difference
You are more brilliant than the gymnastics you are about to play on his behalf.

What gymnastics? When people say god does not change are they referring to him changing his being or him changing his mind?

The one attempting gymnastics here is you.

Again it is irrelevant as far as I am concerned. Mentioning the leader of a religious sect means nothing in the grand scheme of things. There have been very many religious leaders in the annals of history, Jesus is accorded far more significance and power than most of them so if these historical accounts can't verify these powers then they are not important.

I am not arguing for Workch, I am stating my position as an atheist as a counter to your assertion in which you tried to lump all atheists together.

Of course, it's not a reference to His mind. The same Bible refers to Him changing His mind, remember? He's the same yesterday, today and forever in His nature, power, position and holiness.

The fact is that a lot of Christians, Infact, most have this feeling of doubt. They have these numerous questions they'd like to ask. They see the contradictions, they see how rules and laws made by their god are being broken by this same god in their bible. They know that their beliefs can't stand logic, but they are too scared. They are afraid of hell, they're scared of losing their life, they're afraid of being castigated by their own family members. So they keep lying to themselves. Telling themselves "God works in mysterious ways". The moment a Christian starts becoming curious and takes a bold step to question irrational beliefs in their religion, the lies and indoctrination begin to wear off. "Thank God" for Nairaland, I for dey alter by now dey pray for wetin no loss.
By actions and decisions, in many cases, the overwhelming majority of Christians are indistinguishable from atheists. This realization will make one question if Christians really believe their holy book and have confidence in their God.

I have faith that unicorns exist.

How do you intend verifying that?
Since you have faith unicorns exist, what stops you from having faith God exist. Haven't you read why it is said in the Bible that the just shall leave by faith, and that he who cometh to God must believe that he exists and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him?

The earliest non-christian reference to Jesus is even an interpolation added later to his works by latter xtians
