"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
Interesting, but the acceptance of the bible as historically accurate is rather laughable. At one point, the narrator declares that the four gospels present a consistent and coherent view of Jesus' life. Yet in reality they contradict each other. Even the story of the resurrection isn't consistently recounted.
ReplyDeleteAccurate description of Jesus life? It's rather silent on some 30 years of it, unless you consider non-canonical (that is, politically correct) sources.
ReplyDeleteYou can't have an accurate description of Jesus' life, neither historic nor fictional. The scriptures contradict, and the history is nonexistent.
