Calling All Aliens

Disingenuous about what ??

I genuinely doubt that Christ was incarnated and died on another planet.
I don't know it. I believe He didn't.

If He did, He didn't tell us about it.

My view is that man is rather swollen with pride as he discovers more and more things about the universe in which he lives. None of it is surprise to God. He's watching us increase in our knowledge.

The prophet even foretold that in the last days knowledge would increase.

"But you Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many will go here and there, and knowledge will be increased." (Dan. 12:4)

The increase of scientific knowledge about the creation simply does not change our basic relationship to God. Neither does speed or extent of transportation.

So why did you ask me:

What would be my motive in fabricating someone with the character of Jesus Christ ?

And...

What would be my motivation to inventing this Son of God ?

No one has claimed the "Son of God" story is something you invented.

The "Son of God" story also involves Christ living in men and women.
That's a big part of the "story".

Sorry sir, was distracted by your morphing into Freaky.

Not as weird as you morphing into lunacy.

About what was being asked and what was being skipped, by you, in our conversation. You were acting is if it wan't possible for you to know what I had asked you, which you had sidestepped. It's surely not for real, so it must then be an affectation on your part ~ pretending to be in a muddle

No one has claimed that it is something you invented. You are being disingenuous again.

Do your two questions make sense ?

What would be my motivation for fabricating ANY part of the total account of all that Christ is and does ? Including ... "Christ in you the hope of glory."

I am always amazed by how confident some people are about topics they know nothing about. You say aliens don't exist. Try and explain why you believe that without resorting to mere assertions.

You say God doesn't exist. Try and explain why you believe that without resorting to mere assertions.

They are both your questions, sonship.

No I am genuinely debunking you. Nothing disingenuous about it.

Will you fall back on the ad hom personal attacks or the "I don't give a hoot anyway " final defense ?

No one has claimed that you did. What;s with this I'm-in-a-muddle you'll have to talk-to-my-straw-men-instead act?

No one has claimed that you fabricated or invented the Jesus story. The insinuation that anyone has is a straw man, sonship.

"So why did you ask ...?" is your question.

You actually applied it twice.

I quoted your two straw man questions. Your reply was to ask me: Do your two questions make sense ?

So let's see now - no one has claimed any fabrication of any part of the Son of God story by me.

Here's your claim of my fabrication of the Son of God story.

I believe your superstitions are all a figment of your imagination so, ...

Dance.
