The Dagda

If I offered God out in a fight would I be a theist or not? And what do you surmise his answer would be if I said "I'm not afraid of you, fight me now beardy?" Bear in mind I'm talking about the God of the Jews not Jesus.

Dennis the Menace.

I guess you would be a theist who does not have any inclination to reconcile himself to God.

I think you already have his answer.

(Rom 5:10) For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?
(Rom 5:11) Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

That's Paul's answer and its second hand information, or probably one of his "visions" a euphemism for mental episodes produced whilst in religious fervour. Plus I asked specifically what God would do not WWJD?

Jesus is the incarnation of God. Jesus on a cross is what God would do.

Not according to the Jews and their God.

sschlichter

which Jews. It was Jews that wrote the NT. Does it take 51% majority to vote the truth into office? Their God made the purpose and the means very clear.

The Dagda

The Jews that don't believe in Jesus which is the vast majority.

sschlichter

the vast majority of humans are theists. Does that have any impact on whether God exists or not?

The only writer who can lay claim to being Jewish is Paul and Hyam Maccoby thinks Paul was a convert!? Your statement "It was Jews that wrote the NT" needs evidence. Mark was apparently written in a Latin context and has a Roman name. All the gospels were written in Greek, so what evidence can you use to say that Jews wrote the NT?

I think its fair to say if there were no humans there would be no God.
