    Of course I can use logic but I suspect that you have hardened your heart against the truth

    There is two types of kingdoms in the bible, earthly and spiritual.

    I did not ask about this.

    Heavenly or God's kingdom is spiritual.

    Earthly rule is not.

    What major points?

    What evidence have you got that he was not born?

    No one knows the time or the hour.

    How long was he on the cross according to your translation?

    Before you go on, answer these.

    All that you need do is come up with some evidence then
    Note: believing in the supernatural is by definition not logical I'll let you off the hook for using logic.

    Per my post, use king james (not the American standard-it's revised. It seems that gods word must change to reflect modern times)
    From each of the four gospels tell me how long jesus was alledged to have been on the cross. Hint, there is more than one answer.
    In the gospel of matthew, the fictional jesus was said to state that the 2nd coming would be during the lifetimes of some present- so show me a 2000 year old hebrew.

    M*W: You've asked for it. I've given it to you many times in the past, but here is the last time I will post a bibliography of biblical scholars and archeological researchers who deny the existence of Jesus. The bibliography includes the false pretenses of the gospels, the comparison of an historic Jesus to a mythological Jesus. This bibliography provides the history of the new testament and it's overall myth. There are many more titles along this line, but these are the books I have on hand. Enjoy!

    Hmmm you want to believe he didn't exist so you hang on to theories by people who just wanted to make money by selling books.

    Did you know that you can get a bible for free?

    It's your bible, you claim it's the truth, you answer the question from each of the gospels
    Like most atheists, I have read (and perhaps know better than you) the bible. I told you exactly where I was getting that from. Do you have a king James translation?

    A large amount of scolarship gives me no choice but to believe other wise..
    The same scolarship that you asked for. The same scolarship that you will not investigate.
    Why would I want another free bible- it's discredited as a source.

    Believe me, I have investigated.

    You stick to your scholarship sources though.

    Again, see post 286. I've spelled it out very clearly several times now.

    Give me the verses that you have problems with.

    Specify the contradictions and you can win.

    But you left logic and reason at the door. I don't think too much of your investigation. Seems one sided, choose what you want to believe and twist (or ignore)facts to fit and when that still fails close your eyes, cover your ears, and chant "lalalala" loudly

    I have trouble with every verse in every book of the bible because it's a fable.
    I specified one contradiction guess I win.

    Quote the bible man, is that too hard?

    What are you gloating over?

    The fact that you said such and such without discussing anything?

    Whatever, you still didn't answer what a lie detector is based on either...

    A lie detector is based on the length of one's nose. See Pinocchio !

    Quote the bible? why would I want to tell untruths? I'm not gloating, I do grow weary of repeating myself though. Is English a second language, is that your problem?
    Heart rate and respiration, some are voice stress so perhaps my lungs or vocal chords can now also prove or disprove the existance of your god? Is that what you intend to claim now?
    I'll try to spell todays question out for you.
    How long was the fictional jesus on the cross?
    Answer from matthew
    Answer from mark
    Answer from luke
    Answer from john
    And once again use King James version. Simple.
