Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , William Wilberforce, and Christianity
obi replied to obi's topic in Senate Chambers
Well, the question is: Is it ok to judge an entire group of people based on the actions of a few belonging to that group? I had a debate with someone the day of this thread, and their only argument against Christianity was "Hitler was a christian! That should be evident there that religion drives people nuts and makes them do horrible things!" and "Christians have NEVER done anything for society!" So I just felt the urge to point out this huge fallacy. -
To quote Aslan, "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me Witch. I was there when it was written." So it was, and so shall it be! Arbitrary title or not! I'm as every bit as unimportant and irrelevant as the rest of ya's! I demand the same lack of respect that you all get! >=(

With a passionate love and strong foundation in Jesus Christ, William Wilberforce and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. have done more for the advancement of justice than any other character in history, save for Jesus Himself. William Wilberforce information : http://creation.com/anti-slavery-activist-william-wilberforce-christian-hero Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. information: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2000/januaryweb-only/11.0b.html Is it fair to say that Christianity is wrong because some nutjobs were insane and believed in the Bible? Is it possible that the likes of Hitler and other insane leaders were not really Christian? Jesus tells us that you can tell who His real followers are in this scripture: Matthew 7:16-17 " By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit" Examining the life of Christ, who's fruit is closer to Christ? (edit) This is not neccessarily for the other thread, because the comparison between Hitler and MLK have been made- I just wanted to make this thread in response to a few chat room sessions I had earlier where people told me repeatedly that Hitler was a Christian.

(A) Well, Jesus did exist. http://www.allaboutarchaeology.org/evidence-for-jesus.htm - just a simple resource, but I have more. Some Bible-based, others not. (B) List me a few of the contradictions in the Gospels, and I will explain them of the best of my ability. © This is true, none of the Gospels were actually written during the time of Christ, but if a jew from Nazi Germany wrote a book this year about it, that doesn't mean it is false. (D) The NT writers and Jesus himself were aware of the other religions, and even spoke of them in the scriptures: 1 John 2:18 "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. " And 2 John 1:7 "Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist." (E) I agree to an extent, saying he is real "because I say so" is not a good argument. However, it does need to be taken into consideration that the Bible (may) be God's word, because that is what we are ultimately debating.

(Before we get started, I would just like to say that I know I am probably outnumbered, so if someone wants to debate, it may be some time before I can respond, given that there will probably be a good many respond. Also, if you see that someone on your side has already posted your argument point, please do not re-post. It'll drain me time =( ) I was saying that God has shown Himself to us through the life of Christ. Actually revealing His new covenant (the NT in the Bible). No other religious deity can make the claim that it actually came down here to live among us for the purpose of reconciling ourselves back to it.

I agree completely, and not just because the movie was against well....my entire life, lol. There have been many (both religious and non-religious) people refute and tear the movie apart.

He's right, you know. I once seen him battle 450 battle droids with a lightsaber, fight his way out of a nest of nasty naboo hornets, save the palace from certain destruction-by-tidal wave, and then get raised from the dead........... Wait.......that was ME......... I have no evidence of his awesomeness. We demand proof, sir! >=(
