i'd rather count on soldiers for protection. so far they are doing a good job. no children.

believer

Hiiii

Even IDF soldiers keep faith in god and they still keep their shabbath...

atheist

some do, some don't. people believe in all kinds of strang thigs, i don't really care what other people believe...

atheist

why is it confusing to you? there are atheists all over the world.

believer

let me ask.you said yor an israeli ..only bcoz you r staying in israel?????

i'm an israeli because i have israeli citizenship.

if i was born in china i would be chineese....

believer

thts fyn..okok

hmm...most jews migrated frm different parts since israel indipendence..thts y i asked u..

that is true. there are a lot of jewish people in israel. just like there are a lot of christians in america.

believer

hmm..israel is a jewish country

atheist

it is defined that way. yes.

believer

hmm...

so u have jewish friends??

atheist

believer

hehe...

jews they are the descentence of abraham isaac jacob and all...

atheist

that is what they claim. i've heard of them. i've learned a bit about the bible at high school.

believer

hmmm.... now u live in a place where yahweh(god) frees the israelites frm the slavery at egypt through moses...

hmm..and place where son of god walked,preached ,crusified,and raised again...

atheist

not at all. i am enjoying our conversation. feel free to ask me whatever is on your mind.

believer

hehe okk..

see im achristian..and we hav bible

everywher....old testment..israel..

atheist

yes i know. you call it the new testament.

believer

god of israel,,mighty one of israel,holy one of israel..and all

no..new testment is another one..

atheist

that's the one about jesus.

isn't it?

believer

ya..abt jesus..then after his death..wrk of the apostles..and finaly to the end

evagelical christians prays fr the peace of israel..bcoz scriptures tells us to do so

atheist

well, have fun, i guess

believer

funny fr you right...remember..lebanon,egypt,russia,syria,iran

all...seeking to destroy yor country..

atheist

yes, and what is your point?

believer

still you all in peace only becoz of the GOD of israel..

his covenent to the israelites...

atheist

i doubt that.

believer

here i have a buk called historical prophecies rlted to israel and bible then rest in malayalam( our language)

atheist

i guess that's your take on it. i think that it would be easier to achive peace without a god telling people to hate each other.

believer

hmmmm....

aftr readng tht i got confused regrdng smthng and understood that the holy bible is true and pure..

still many prophecies in it goin to take place..

atheist

really? what convinced you of the existance of a god?

believer

hmm...il tell

thers a buk called daniel.in the bible.

dabuk ws written in 550 bc...at tht tym nebukadhnezar ws the kng of babylon

babylonian kingdom all ovr..

slept???

atheist

i'm waiting for you to finish your story.

believer

lev tht...lets tak about jesus

atheist

ok. what about him?

believer

befor tht...u have a cute smile..kk :

atheist

thank you

believer

hmm ..so jesus..more than 600 yrs befr jesus

ISAIAH (a prophet frm israel) praceh and ws written that " a virgin will giv bith to a baby boy

"

he will be called as immanuel means god with us

atheist

yes. that is the meaning of the word.

believer

ya meaning of the wrd " immanuel"

atheist

yes.

believer

and another scripture says he will be born in bethlehem( davida town)

atheist

ok.

believer

davids town)

hmm..and also his birth will lead to death of many babiess.

atheist

that's kind of sad.

believer

happened....2013 yrs befor he ws born of a virgin MARY..agreed??

called jesus

reall name YESHUA

atheist

but he said his name was immanuel. how does this relates to jesus?

believer

jesus is an english wrd...in hebrew its yeshua..means immanuel..english ws nt popular at tht tym

atheist

no. yeshua means salvation, immanuel means god is with us. those are different names with different meanings.

believer

yes in mathew chapter 1..

angel of god appeared to joseph saying" she(mary) will bear a son and u shall call his name jesus for he will save his people frm sins

so here cms salvation

atheist

ok, but what about immanuel?

believer

ya but immanuel nt his worldy name..just gavng meaning that GOD came as a man and is with us

atheist

so whatever doesn't fit into what you already believe is just an allegory?

believer

ths is jusst a begining..ok let me ask u one thing??

atheist

sure.

go ahead.

believer

if i say jesus ws real and hw ws born 2013 yrs ago..will u reject??

atheist

i would have to ask you what makes you think he was real, and who is this jesus?

believer

me and you nw living in 2013 AD

right??

after death of jesus...ths itself says it

he ws real

atheist

that's right. that is the number we decided to use to count the years. (by the way it's a completely different year in the jewish calendar)

believer

ya i knw..thn jesus at tyms with disciples said he will be put to death by the jews..and same happend..if u have doubt go check that place..its somewhere near to u i think

and thn he said he will be put to death but i will rose again on the 3rd day

same happened

atheist

if your proof that he existed is that some people use his supposed death to count years than i can use the jewish calendar to disprove him...

that's not very convincing...

believer

nt calender..im taking about his birth place and place where he has buried..its there in isaral na..

atheist

you mean like new yourk city is proof of the existance of spiderman?

believer

u taking ths as funny

hmm..

atheist

it is kinda funny

believer

birth place ..place of death is there in israel right now...

u cant reject tht

atheist

i don't need to reject such trivial things. there is also a city called new york, it's still not a proof for spiderman.

and there are woods, that doesn't mean little red riding hood is real.

believer

dnt compare jesus with tht spider thing

atheist

why not?

spiderman is a hero.

believer

jesus is a super hero

hes the king of israel

atheist

lol. we don't mind about rank here. it doesn't matter who's the better hero.

believer

hoof...hw can i make ths little woman understand..

atheist

i don't know. try harder, i guess...

believer

problem is im nt very good in english..thts y im nt able to crush u..

atheist

why would you want to crush me? i thought we were friends...

believer

hehe....yaya..friends..just jokingggg

whts tym ther nw

?

atheist

17:25

believer

ohkkk..hmm...see religion is man made...

jesus is the only way to heaven..

just keep tht in mind

atheist

if religion is man made doesn't it make jesus man made?

believer

nops..never..

atheist

but isn't he a part of the religion?

believer

in his grave its written" hes not here"... only his...all other mighty men died and their body is in the grave

atheist

there were a lot of grave robbers at the time.

believer

haha..never

u knw at the end tyms of jesus....all his disciples left him..they ran..

only jesus

left

atheist

he left? where did he go?

believer

means he alone when jews and soilders captured him

atheist

oh, well sucks to be him.

believer

hmm....so then they put him to death..

christians were very feww..

atheist

why?

believer

they were afraid to go out becoz romans and jews were trying to punish thm all at tht tym

atheist

why? what did they do?

believer

some statement jesus said ws nt digestable to jews..so they all became against himm..

so they too hate his disciples

atheist

oh, i see. he was a threat tothem.

believer

no no no..u misunderstood..

atheist

than explain it to me.

believer

so her..jesus ws buried..and jews asked roman empires to gave them many soilders to place thm outside the grave

atheist

why? he was already dead.

believer

..bcoz they ttoo heard jesus saying on the 3rd day he will rose..but jews though "sometimes his disciples will take away his body and show the world tht he is risen "

understood?

atheist

that's kind of funny. did they really think his disciples can fool people into believing his corpse is alive again?

believer

ya jews thought lyk tht" if disciples take his corpse and buried somewher and they may say to otheres tht hws taken up to heaven or smthng

atheist

oh. i see now. and why did the romans care about all of this?

believer

here is the point..

at tht tyn romans were ruling the world..roman empire..

atheist

yes. why would they care about a dispute between some jews?

believer

see as they were ruling the authority to punish or to kill someone belongs to them

so jews tuk jesus to them

atheist

yes. and i bet they had roman rules. did jesus break the rules?

believer

crusifixion ws a roman rule

atheist

no. crusifixion was a roman punishment. not a rule.

believer

sory ya...punishment

atheist

but why would they punish him? did he break a rule?

believer

jesus didnt break any roman rule..

yaa..thts the point..

atheist

than why would the roman punish him?

believer

even pilate (ruler) said i didnt see any offence agaist ths man

atheist

so why did he punish him?

believer

because jews around were shouting crucify him crusify him.....

atheist

why would the romans care what the jews were shouting?

believer

so hepilate pronounced sentence that jews demand be granted

atheist

why?

believer

jews brought him and said " ths man making himself christ and king"

atheist

so? was it against roman law?

believer

no jews said it was against theri law..

atheist

why would the romans care about jewish law?

believer

jerusalem ws under the roman empire na..

so jews want jesus to put to death..

atheist

so, why would the romans care about jewish law?

believer

so they did their maximum bu accusing jesus in frnt of roman empire pilate

atheist

but they accused him of breaking jewish law. why would the romans care about jewish law?

believer

they have to..bcoz jewish colony was governed by pilate..

so a wide conflit should be ceased na

?

slept???

atheist

i'll help you there a bit. lets say you are a judge in a country that has it's own law. a bunch of people come to you and say that a man has committed a crime. you ask them what the crime is and it turns out that by your laws this isn't a crime. the people (that has citizenship in your country) then say that they know it's not a crime by the country's laws, but they believe it is a crime and want to punish the man anyway. would you punish an innocent man because some people believe he should be punished?

believer

no...never..

atheist

so why would a roman judge punish an innocent man?

believer

yaya..thts an awesome question ...

he came to earth to die..

innocent blood killed by romans through jews for the salvation of the world

..

atheist

that is not a reason for a judge to punish a man. i'm looking for the motive of the romans...

believer

ya..they al are a cruel motive people

atheist

so an entire country is just cruel and punishes it's citizens for no reason at all?

believer

noooo..

you making ths funny

atheist

what is the reason then?

believer

father(yahweh) wants his son to sacrifice fr the wrld

son is jesus..

it happened...

atheist

so yahweh told the romans to kill jesus?

believer

hoof..tired

jst understand ths simple thing..

atheist

ok. why don't you ask somebody else and come back to me. you can print out this conversation and talk about it with whoever you think myght have an answer.

believer

jews are the chosen people of go

d

atheist

so you say.

believer

others are gentiles..

so me you ...are gentiles

atheist

their defenition. yes.

so?

believer

if we belive in jesus the son of god..we will be called as sons and daughters of god

atheist

i don't believe in a god.

believer

ya...do u knw y u dont belive in god??

atheist

i have no reason to believe in a god.

believer

coz..u have money,home job..gud family..happy..so no need of god is ths right??

atheist

well, most of it is. yes, i have money, home, i love my siblings and i am happy.

i even enjoy my job.

believer

ad may you be happy for ever..

but one day u will die

na??

atheist

thank you. you too

all die eventually.

believer

ya...everyone..

atheist

yes.

believer

if u realised tht ther is lyf after death...will it be horrible

??

atheist

i don't know. that depedns an what will it mean to live after death.

believer

no my dear friend...ther is lyf after death..and ther is heaven and hell..

atheist

i've heard people claim that.

believer

so to save frm hell jesus came to the world..but only if u believe in him you will get tht eternal lyf..otherwise you will perish

..

atheist

i don't believe in heaven nor hell.

believer

ya....becoz no one who is died came to and said tht it is real na??

atheist

that is one reason. also because i don't see any reason for it.

believer

yaa...people search fr reasons..

i dnt wnt u to be areligious or somethng..i just want u to know what is true...

so il pray fr you frm today

hey ****...nw its 10 16 here...tym fr dinner..wel see later..okk take caree.....

atheist

take care, and have a wonderful day

believer

okkk
