Re: Justin Welby

One of the interesting things is how little this really is news. It is news of course, and headline s for a day or two but imagine how big the change of Archbishop has been in the last 1500 years and now barely a ripple

They were trying to minimise the event. I only found out what happened at Musk's place. No wonder they hate him.

Hey sludge I think we’ve found something here we agree on?

I've already said that he is a wolf in sheeps clothing, yet here were are again on the 'God seeks religious people' lie with Sludge and numerous others buying into it.

Re: Justin Welby

What happens now?

An interim Archbish appointed whilst the General Synod takes months not appointing a successor?

The C of E could be in the relegation zone by then!

Apart from few decent exceptions, they should not even be in the league.

Agreed, didn't Jesus say The broad gate is used by the majority, but it leads to disaster.

Just how narrow is the narrow gate?

Unlike the made up fluff that convinced you that the most important event in human ancient history is fictional.

The best documented event in ancient history

Bloke was killed, his body was taken away never to be seen again, yet they deem it a resurrection? Yet more baloney….honestly, you must be at a really low edge to believe this stuff, whatever keeps you happy though paste….its all there waiting for you in the next life right?

There's something waiting for everyone in the 'next life' - as for your hope that Christ is not risen, all the best with that.

Flew was a philosophical flibbettygibbet who thoughts bounced all around the place during his life. Not that his musings represented anything like real evidence.

Currently your paragraph is flibberating, I'm sure you can make it make some sort of sense

who = whose

Another example of most people understanding a situation (in this case a mere typo on a mobile phone) but which confuses you.

And the word you were looking for was 'flibbertigibbet'.

I doubt you will ever take the time to look at the evidence, mainly because you are aware that those who have, have found something very disturbing and unsettling.

At the Edinburgh book festival in 2010 Christopher Hitchens debated John Lennox. In concluding his speech, John Lennox mentioned the fact of the resurrection of Jesus. The moderator, John Humphreys, asked Christopher Hitchens to respond, indicating that he had five minutes. Hitchens barked: ‘I won’t need five minutes to respond to someone who believes in the resurrection.”
This is a standard tactic – equate people who believe in the resurrection with people who believe in a flat earth, Santa Claus and Scotland winning the World Cup, and you then don’t need to even think about, never mind examine the evidence.
The main objection to the resurrection is simple. Resurrections just don’t happen. But you need to stop there. We agree. Totally. That is the point. Resurrections don’t happen. If they did then the resurrection of Jesus would be no big deal. It would be a bit like me saying, Jesus is the Son of God because he recovered from illness.
Getting better is common. Getting resurrected is not. In the normal course of events resurrections do not happen. But the Bible is claiming that this is not the normal course of events. It is the ultimate extraordinary event. So instead of dismissing it we need to ask, what happened and what proof is there, before then going on to consider the implications.

Proof? 'But the Bible is claiming.....'?
