God is said to have always existed. He was not born and cannot die. Even when the world ends, he will never end
The actual event of His birth is well-recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke in particular. Allusions to the birth and life of Israels Messiah and Savior are scattered throughout the Old Testament.
As in the book of the Hebrew bible, written 700 years before the birth of Christ, it is stated in Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." (God With Us) About the same time in history, prophecy of Jesus birth is foretold in Micah 5:2, But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." Hundreds more specific Old Testament prophecies written at different times and by different writers, foretold His coming, life, death and reign as King.
Eventually, a man was born whose life revealed and fulfilled of all of these ancient prophecies--- Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah of Israel--- the Savior for the world yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
dave you athiest bugger. cant you accept other peoples oppinion. even before the word god eas put into play humans always believed in a greater power than themselves.to think man is the bee all and end all is concieted and in my oppinion very wrong. do you dave think there is a greater power than us,if so what do you call it. i believe in some form of a greater power and am wise enough not to insult whatever it may be called.just knowing there is more to life than US is enough to keep many people sane.
to me it don't sound like dave is an athiest, i beleive like he says exactly that god takes on many different form within different cultures, just look around, the christians got christ, the buddists have alla, so on so forth, how can you say he is athiest leaky when he is only stating the facts as the world knows it, who is right christian or buddists or what not?, you obviously beleive in something so only what you were brought up to beleive in is infact what you will beleive in, how do we know that we were not put here by aliens? never know,!! it says in the "king james" version of the "bible" that their will be as many people that will not have eternal life as there are grains of sand on ALL of the worlds oceans, so in short, i beleive we are ALL products of OUR environments, so if you or i or he was raised in iran or iraq then we would also beleive in alla or jeruselem or UK or USA we are taught to beleive in christ, or god, but no matter who we beleive in, it is just that, THAT YOU BELEIVE, so i agree, god or who ever it is, does indeed take on many forms, basically they all say the same thing , LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, AND WHO EVER SO BELEIVETH shall have ever lasting life and happiness, but NO WHERE in ANY bible orkoran or any reading does it say anything about other worlds or other forms of life elsewhere, So if anyone has ever seen the picture from the hubble space teliscope titled "deep space" in it it shows literally millions of billions of other solar systems, can any one possibly say there is not an other world that has some form of intelegent life? no we can't, so yes again we are products of our environment, and are raised to beleive the ways of the people we are taught by, so whoever it is, god, budda, alla, jehovah, aliens, or who ever, they are ALL A FORM OF A GOD, passed down to us for thousands of years wherever we were raised and always will be until we find the truth once and for all,
sorry to go deep but i do not see where what dave said is he being an athiest!!! he is just stating the truth, i beleive
only jesting my friend.everyone has a right to believe in or not to believe in whatever they wish just so long as we can all get on and live in peace and harmony.i think dave is very good at inciting discussion,many thanks to him, may the force be with you all whatever the force may be called.
People mis interprete god to mean God which is wrong.god(s) has eyes but can't see,they have mouth but can't talk but God is a supernatural being & also the creator of the universe
