Christianity Concluded

Thank you for having this debate with me pro, and I apologize for my grammar since it resulted in your miscomprehension of my statements. Pro has 8 verses without parallel in topic 2 alone (wow) 1. Thank you for the correction. Christianity is based on Judaism, and moreover, its existence is contingent on a partially fulfilled prophecy. The Jewish people do not believe the resurrection occurred, and The New Testament tears the OT to pieces in an attempt to verify its genuineness. 2. I Happen to know King David wrote Psalms. King David was also praying to god for help not prophesying in chapter 69. Peter went on to misquote that in acts 1:20 declaring it to be from the holy spirit. That's no more a fulfillment of prophecy than "my son riding a donkey at the state fair". 3. You are telling me my statement is illogical, yet it comes from YOUR source in topic 1 of round 1. . http://www.bibleprobe.com...... You then go on to state my point, which is "he wasn't prophesied in genesis" Your source thinks that was prophecy, so I take it that you agree. I cant possibly dispute all 365 of your sources claim in 8,000 characters. I chose the very first one to disprove but also didn't find any prophecy fulfillment on there to be validated. 4. Every point you made on here is moot, or subjective, Except Isaiah 53. 1) anyone could have rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, that's not strong enough data to prove godliness. 2) Debatable, too bad they didn't have paternity tests back then. 3) This sounds like legitimate prophecy, that I will address later 4) The resurrection is debatable, My opinion is a mistake of supernatural when it was paranormal if it happened at all. The only roman witness, allegedly passed out from shock. 2 roman witnesses, how heavily guarded could it be with two soldiers on duty? Your claims are substantial. by the way, there were also alleged Elvis and tupac sightings :) 5) I can name 100 rock and roll vocalist, rnb singers and rappers who speak in parables. Speaking in parables makes you a poet yes, but the son of god? I reasonably question the premise 6) Joseph is "of David's line". Mary being his wife was of no blood relation. Mary impregnated by god equals a different blood line than David from a genetic stand point. Jesus did not fulfill prophecy, Maybe if Joseph had a daughter and she was the one who had the virgin birth I could begin to think about believing this. I will add that my opponent must have overlooked my topic 1) of round 2 Isaiah chapter 2:1-3 was not fulfilled, Jerusalem did not become capital of a world government. 5. Christianity has countless similarities to astral cults of the past, i. e Easter, Christmas etc. The holidays christians celebrate closely correlate with pagan celebrations, how do you explain this? You obviously will try to discredit the history that preceded christianity by stating the changes that christianity made to the old religions, which were made due to the growing awareness of the people. So I wont waste my time introducing more similarities instead I will better explain my stance as I know it is a strong one. Monotheism replaced Polytheism because it was no longer a strong enough belief system to control the masses. I don't question the differences, I question the similarities. Religion has evolved drastically over the past 4,000 years and in my opinion christianity stands between its furthering. I'll recant one of my citations to show a very clear parallel for your resurrection, In finer detail. Krishna and The Bhagavad Gita whether accepted as myth or not, was written between 500-200 bce. Krishna or CRISTNA was shot by many arrows that attached him to a tree. At Moors pantheon, the British museum, there is a picture that so closely resembles the jesus crucifixion that no one can deny its influence on christianity. I reject many of your *evidences due to a conflict of interest shared by your witnesses" not a disbelief in mans word. When a follower, follows they are carrying out what the latter suggests. . http://en.wikipedia.org...... 6. Why did no writer other than Jesus close friends family and followers say anything of the resurrection? His tomb was heavily guarded(with 2 soldiers as far as I know) one of them would have told their superiors, why didn't the Romans pursue the christians for stealing the body(by the way I never said the christians stole the body)? I doubt the Romans would have just accepted the resurrection story without some sort of recourse. O and Jesus didn't go fishing after the resurrection, that's more misinformation on your part. I'm going to close this up with the "copycat thesis" and show the remarkable similarities between Horus and Jesus numbering 44 in whole. . http://www.religioustolerance.org...... My opponent's assumptions and flaws are as follows: 1) False: based on mistaken, erroneous, or inconsistent impressions, ideas, or facts. Belief system: can refer to religion . .. look it up This is not about YOU. It's about christianity. The question is whether its true to its tradition and based off of real facts and truly monotheistic. I have given more reasons than my opponent to back my case and virtually dissected each of his simple theories 2) My opponent's attempts of evading the topic are weak at best, and my best guess says he practices law. 3) The people you mentioned had temples and one conquered surrounding factions, not only is there proof of Genghis from his followers, but his opposition wrote about how they feared him, jesus has no book in the Torah, but there's a book of Romans in the bible. Why respond to a moot point that bares no relation to the subject? Instead of Genghis Khan lets talk about mermaids. 4) My opponents evidence is 4 *eye-witnesses and 6-8 debatable prophecies, if that was a large body of sound evidence, consider it resurrected and off to the underworld. I am currently winning this debate, Key points of prophecy have not been fulfilled, and Jerusalem is not the capital of a world government which was necessary for Jesus resurrection to be relevant. The Similarities show its lack of originality and when bad outweigh good. .. Until proven otherwise their still isn't a clear reason to believe christianity and lol I apologize for the casual writing but my opponent cited a page with 365 non-sensical prophecies I am beginning to think that he's joking. NONE of the evidence is solid. I'm not entertaining point (7) or (8) for obvious reasons, if your reading this I'm sure it confused you as well.
