"Your views are not dissimilar to the Pharisees." Sound familiar?...
SD: "Was Jesus resurrected "in the narrative" or "in reality"?"
GM: "We have the narrative, so the answer to the first question is yes. We don't have a time machine so the answer to the second question is who knows or who cares. If God can save us by resurrecting Jesus, he can save us through a story about resurrecting Jesus. One isn't any more miraculous than the other." http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2346699#poststop
GM: Let's see if you can answer the following:
1. Is the mustard seed the smallest seed or is Jesus a liar? Mark 4:31
2. Should we pluck out our eyes whenever we sin? Matthew 5:29
3. Do you preach to animals and mushrooms? Mark 16:15
4. Did Luke lie when he said there was a famine over the entire world during Claudius' reign. Acts 11:28
5. Did all the world learn about the faith of Christians in Rome in the first century, including Peru? Romans 1:8
6. Is the earth in the shape of a footstool? Matthew 5:35 http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2348217#poststop
GM:
Matthew 19:5 - and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and
mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
Matthew 19:6 - So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has
joined together, let not man put asunder."
Mark 10:8 - and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but
one flesh.
Is Jesus saying that when people marry, they actually become a unified blob of
flesh with their spouses? That doesn't seem to happen, so are you claiming Jesus
is lying?
