He might not have written it down, but why not even base it soley on what WAS said by him and written down? That's, unfortunately, not what is written in the bible. For the infallible word of "god", the bible includes seriously little that was actually said by this god.

then why do you use social methods for justifying it to others; ie scripture, websites, etc? Jesus is an interesting person, no doubt. As soon as you limit your preaching to his words only, you may be on to something.
All Scripture is the Word of Jesus (Jesus is God).
The Bible does have multiple authors but all were inspired by God. No Christian actually believes God sent a lightning bolt or something and then there was suddenly the Bible. You won't believe it or find it valid, but the explanation to how the Bible is divine and yet written by people is these people were basically commissioned by God to write his Word and spread it throughout the world.

Please just for a moment see it from my point of view: I am a Buddhist, and when I look out onto the world I see two major religions both saying the same thing about their own book, the bible and the Koran. Both are claimed to be inspired by god. However, they do not agree with each other. Therefore, this god must be schizophrenic or there are more then one god at work here. So, why should I believe you as a Christian over the word of a Muslim?

Question: do you think that you would be inclined to curse (for discussion sake let's pressupose that you use profanity) if you hated cursing? The fact is people are less inclined to do things that they hate. For example, many people hate vegetables so they are less likely to eat them.

I realize that Christianity does not give you the tools needed to understand the power of hate. But if you knew something about the ten worlds and how hate can change the very world you live in, you would do everything possible to stay away from hate.
Originally posted by JesusIsAlivesorry for a late response but our answers to the universe's mysteries are sure a hell of alot better than they were a 2000-1000 years ago. the universe itself is the most complicated thing in existence something which probally will never be fully understood because it is such an illogical and complicated thing. everything is perfectly balanced, to a point where it almost seems like it must be living and everything in it is a organ or cell. even blackholes benefit the universe, and they are the most destructive thing in existence.
With all of our technology, sophistication, advanced scientific discovery, and the best minds that the Ivy league could muster, you mean you cannot tell me how and why the universe came into existence? We can perform open heart surgery, put people on the moon, and even split an atom, but we cannot explain the origin of universe?Wow.
aliens that live on the other side of the universe and have mastered technologies we have yet to dream of probally dont have full comprehension of the universe
and theres an old quote that supports my theories
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.” Albert Einstein
and here is another interesting one that is so true
“No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means” George Bernard Shaw quotes
another 100% true quote, like dead on
“All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.” Stendhal

* in reality, there is only one God the Father... but there are many different religious organizations & denominations who believe in God in different ways... those organizations have different "Gods"... but there is only one God the Father... example, some believe God is omnipresent, others do not... some believe He was omniscient and omnipotent, so do not... some believe Christ to be a mortal, some divine and some both... so you see? there are many misinterpretations... many are twisting the Scriptures... many people believe in different "Gods"...
