Prove the universe requires a god to create it. Then solve the uncaused cause problem. Then prove that the God 'what dun it' was a chap called Jesus born 2,000 years ago.

Everything if I am going to show that Jesus created everything that exists.
Let me know when you start.

I do believe there are translation errors in the Bible but no other kind.
It can be easily proven - I do mean proven - that there are errors in the bible that are not translation errors.
Have you ever read the New Testament horizontally? That is, take 4 bibles open at the gospels and read them one by one, side by side one paragraph at a time. If you don't want to try that yourself I can give you a link to Ehrman who has and you can check it.

It doesn't matter, pick any text in any language, whatever you prefer. If you prefer KJB, use 4 of those. Or use 4 different versions it doesn't matter. Just read the four authors side by side passage by passage. The differences are not caused by translation. They're differences in the stories themselves - not just textual differences, they're contradictions, some trivial some critical.
If you don't want to do that just watch someone who has done it.

Oh, I see what you expect. You think they should have got in a backroom somewhere and made sure all of them wrote down the same things and we would have had one gospel instead of four.
Let me remind you of your claim.
ICANT:I do believe there are translation errors in the Bible but no other kind
There are plenty of errors of the other kind, some totally contradictory. But I understand your reluctance to even find out about them. You didn't bother with the lecture did you?
Here it is again. I challenge you to watch it and maintain your statement
Had they done that I would not believe any of it.
Of course you would! You'd tell us that it must be true because the stories are so similar and they're so similar because they're inspired by god. You can have it both ways if you like but there are direct contradictions in the bible which means that only one version of events can be true (or both are false).

The first thing that has to be established is that Jesus is a Historical being.
ffs - that's another thread.
Look why don't we all agree - just for the sake of the argument - that a guy call Jesus actually did exist.
Now what?

So, I guess that means he's never going to explain black holes for me.
You should be so lucky. He's a self taught pastor and builder - of course he's going to explain black holes to you. He's also going to tell you all about the physics of the beginning of the universe. Without the aid of maths. Or physics.
Can't wait to see Jesus get involved.

Agreeing for the sake of argument does not prove that He existed.
Well you sure got me there pastor. Do'h!
We're having the 'did he exist argument' elsewhere so here we're saying 'for the sake of this discussion here let's all assume Jesus existed', now show us how he created the universe.

I have to prove He existed first because if He did,'t exist He could not create anything.
Sheesh!
Let's try this another way, given that some people here already accept a Jesus that walked the earth 2,000 years ago please now show them how this Jesus created the universe.

Can we please get to the stated thesis of this thread - Jesus created the universe - it doesn't matter what size it was, let's see the how you intend to demonstrate that.

How can any of us believers demonstrate the power behind our belief?
ICANT presumably believes that HECAN (sic) as he opened this thread with
ICANT:In this thread I will discuss Jesus roll in the creationn of the universe and His Physical roll on earth.
So let's see him do it please.
You have already rationally concluded that it is all in our heads. NOTHING that we do or say will change your mind at this point.
Why do you keep repeating this nonsense - over and over again. Despite everything we say, nothing gets through. You understand nothing about thinking. Really nothing. You can't keep information you get in your head and process it so you can't understand any position but your own. I'm not asking you to agree, just UNDERSTAND. You can't seem to understand our position.
Of course you can change our minds! We're not religionists whose minds can't be changed no matter what. Just look at K.Rose - he tells you that his belief can not be changed by anything. You get the impression that if Jesus Christ himself appeared in front of him and told him that of course the earth is more that 7,000 years old he's tell him to piss off. Because he knows; he believes.
Just give us some evidence - all it takes to change our minds is a reason. Your belief and K.Rose's belief and the Muslim's belief and the Hindu's belief is in your heads alone. That isn't going to change anybody else's ideas about the world is it?

So far - 200+ posts later - the reverend hasn't made a single attempt to address the subject of his own topic.

I see that Mike the Wizz is back (elsewhere) and appears to have lost what little there was of his mind.
