Im a blank slate.

''Many are called but few are chosen''
(Matthew 24:13)

Am I chosen?
Or called but am not chosen?

Why would God call some and eventually not chose them?
What kind of mind game is this?

[anneasquith]

Why are you bothered to ask about God if he never existed ?

[Atheist]

Nailit. How's your voluntary foodbank work going? Keep up the good work.
As for the religious stuff; it's not worth bothering about. I don't think you'll get many religious folks engaging with your question.

[Atheist]

Nailit; you've already nailed it. Don't keep hammering. There's no need. If you have any confidence in your view, then best leave it at that. You don't need believers to volunteer that you are right.

//Why are you bothered to ask about God if he never existed ?//

Why do people bother watching Coronation street knowing its not real?

The majority of New Testament scholars (Google it) are in agreement that the gospels do not contain eye-witness accounts but represent stories handed down from teller to teller, written from cAD65-110, i.e. at least 30 or more years after Jesus was supposed to have died.

Imagine that you wanted to write, say, an autobiography of Queen Victoria using only what you currently hold in your head with no recourse to the Internet. That's about how accurate the gospels are in terms of what they claim to describe.

alleluia!

A tv programme and God ? Carry on . :-)

//so you are off the steam then?//
Havnt got a scooby what you on about.
Do you speak English at all?
Just curious. You seem to speak a version of it.
Keep trying. You'll get there.

[JimF]

As for the "quote" from Matthew that you cite, you can have absolutely no confidence that Jesus actually said it. Certainly, Matthew could not have heard him say it!

What did Queen Victoria mean when she allegedly said "We are not amused?" You certainly didn't hear her say it!

[Atheist]

Nailit; Who are you addressing at 19:39?

[JimF]

He's replying to the second of the now deleted answers.

[nailit]

I give up...
answers removed!
How can you have a debate while removing answers?

[ToraToraTora]

[nailit]

[Atheist]

Or perhaps a trigger happy rude person ruining the thread.

[ToraToraTora]

[nailit]
