I thought Jesus was God?
It's a riveting tale there chap but I'll ask, got any proof or way to comfirm this other than words on a piece of paper from a 2000 year old book?
All I hear is echo chamber of people repeating words and unverifiable assertions.
Don't know about you but I always had the ability to self determine and apply logic, common sense and experience to produce actions. Never had to worship or derive permission from some mysterious sky wizard or consult religious book to tell me what to do. And if my choices lead me to roads I don't want to be on I change course.
It's sad when your version of applying logic means the first meme you find online to post in this thread is what you actually believe. It's sad when you take these memes very seriously even though you and I both know they are Ludacris.
You keep trying desperately to cling onto the Bible was written by man. Time and time again the Bible has proven to be reliable.
10 prophecies were fulfilled in 1948, which is still fairly recent:

You must be confused because I already made it abundantly clear that I don't need to disprove a mental construct you call God. Simply because it was not proven to begin with.
Why should I waste my time disproving every fairy tale or any psychotic vision from a lunatic? The answer is I don't. I am able to function perfectly well and be subjectively happy with my life. I have no need of some religious book to tell me what to do, I don't need some magic sky wizard to save me lol. And I certainly don't need to be insulted with the notion that I can't self determine. The very concept is a cage or a mental straight jacket that you willfully encumber yourself. Christians feel safe and delighted in this cage but rational proactive people can't bare a second inside.
Bible claims that this God creates plagues and floods... Imagine being this stupid when natural observable and often predictable events are attributed to a wizard in the clouds. Do you even self reflect?
Ahh, I see the devil is playing the tactic of, you do not need the cross. The devil will try to convince you that you either have no need of the cross or that you are too sinful for the cross.
I said this before and I'll say it again, the single most hardest thing to convince someone is the doctrine of sin. Try to convince someone that they are a sinner and in need of a saviour. Not that easy to do.
You have no need of some religious book to tell you what to do? What is it that you do? Find some memes and go all in on the napkin meme? Or when challenged you dodge and avoid? You made this thread to try and disprove Christianity and now you are saying it's not your job to disprove God? Why did you decide to make this thread in the first place? Are you backing down from what your original intention was?
I noticed you've never mentioned those who don't have life all figured out. You failed to mention those whose lives are in shambles. Then they find God and accept Jesus and their lives are turned around.
How do you address those who did exactly what Matthew 11:28-30 states?
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Those who were weary and burdened came to Jesus and found their rest. I've heard those Testimonies myself. It wasn't until they came to Jesus that their heavy heart found the rest they so desperately needed.
