You must be a believer.

Hey nice come back. Too bad none of that is true.


Why are you denying your belief
? You believe Jesus lived!

And, according to the NT, your Jesus said this, "...whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Don't you believe your Jesus?

No, and he's not my Jesus. But great way to throw off the accusations of your own religious beliefs (since you have no evidence for them) and label me a Christian, which is 100% not true.

This is worthless. I think the title of this thread says it all.

You appear to be confused. I have NOT stated that you are a Christian.

Read my post carefully.
  • YOU BELIEVE JESUS LIVED.
  • YOU NEED THE NT TO MAINTAIN YOUR BELIEF.
  • YOU ARE JUST A BELIEVER.

How are you any different?

You believe that Jesus didn't live.

You need the NT to maintain your belief.

You are just a (dis)believer.

What point does this observation further on either side?

I'd like to once again clarify that what aa5874 says is simply untrue. None of it is true. He has been reduced to lying about me to discredit me. What a poor, pathetic little man.

But, you just answered your own question. You identified the differences.

And I need the NT to maintain my dis-belief.

I do NOT believe in Fiction.

Then there is no difference because your "disbelief" is still a belief.

You believe that Jesus never existed.

"Dis-belief" is the opposite to "belief".

I do NOT believe the Jesus of the NT ever existed, based on the evidence available.
  • Solitary Man: Believe Jesus lived.
  • aa5874: No belief that Jesus lived.
  • Solitary Man: Needs the NT to maintain his Belief.
  • aa5874: Needs the NT to maintain NON-BELIEF.
  • Solitary Man: Just a Believer.
  • aa5874: Just a NON-BELIEVER.

These are the differences.

That makes me a non-believer. Yes.
