hey these guys want evidence
they don't want the our lady of Guadalupe image
or the shroud of turin
or bodies not decomposing
or suns dancing in the sky
they definitely don't want weeping paintings and statues
apparitions appearing to young children
they don't want eucharists bleeding in cups

I didn't engage when she was on here
prots are just as lost as atheists in many ways
roman Catholicism is the one true faith religion

we're biologically hardwired to believe. why would the wiring exist if there was no reason to believe in the first place?

jesus walked on water in four synoptic gospels.
jesus is elevated above superstition.
if you saw a man walking on water, would you believe your eyes? or would you call yourself superstitious?

it takes more faith to accept the ToE then it does to accept Jesus Christ.
I don't really want to get into it in this thread.
but when 4 jewish writers record that somebody walked on water, the historicity of that claim is risen above those who don't walk under ladders near black cats.

the way some of the users correspond on this site, it's as if Percy designed an AI version of a skeptic and implanted a few different accounts. What's the difference between Tangle, AzPaul3, and ringo. It's like talking to the same trite skeptic, repeating the same recycled "clever" taunts to believers.
I would love to issue a controversial edict, among this cloister of EvC NPCs, that reality is Jesus Christ, and we are living in it. If Jesus Christ wasn't reality, there would be no need for skeptics to create a Christless multiverse on EvC. Years ago, Percy went as far as to doubt the historicity of Christ.
But Christ is bigger than EvC and he is bigger than life itself. I walked into a church recently and at the altar above the crucifixion was . Fitting as he is the alpha and the omega.
I can't convince any of you of the historicity of Christ's peerless miracles. But among all scholars, there is universal agreement that the synoptic gospels and dead sea scrolls represent a layer of historicity and authenticity that is lacking in any other major religion.
Edited by a servant of Christ, : No reason given.
