The website
(a) Proves Christianity
(b) Disproves other religions
(c) Calls for an end to the idolatrous external form of the Christian faith (and clearly explains why it is so)
(d) Prophesies the immediate future (as well as resolving the prophesy of Danial)
(e) Uses the whole Bible - not just traditional prophetic parts
(f) Shows what God wants us to do about poverty
Would I be right in thinking that web site is yours, and you wrote that stuff on it?
Point (a) is wrong, there's no proof of Christianity at that site. There's a lot of mysticism and some pretty tortured interpretations of scripture and assorted coincidences, but there's nothing that anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of logic, reason, and the rules of evidence would accept as proof of anything. You should also know, though I have no hope you'll accept this, that coincidences do happen, and if you had even the slightest knowledge of probability and statistics you'd understand that. In fact, you'd understand that coincidences are inevitable and statistically predictable.
Point (b) is also wrong, essentially for the same reasons point (a) is wrong.
Point (c) is half right. It does call for an end to what you've called the idolatrous external form of the Christian faith, but the explanation of why it is so is far from clear.
Point (d) is right, as far as it goes. It does offer some prophecies for the near future, and offers a resolution of some obscure things in the book of Daniel, but I see no reason to believe them. At its most basic, you're predicting the destruction of the east coast of North America, with a particular focus on Florida because you think it resembles a snake's head (and what's that about? Snakes buy the farm first because of the serpent in Eden, or something like that?), by a tsunami due to volcanism in the Canary Islands. Geologists raised that possibility a long time ago, there's no need to invoke a deity as the cause of it, it's explicable entirely by well-understood natural processes and might happen tomorrow or 10,000 years from tomorrow. But I'll personally be very surprised if it happens within the next thousand years. And yes, I've had university-level training as a geophysicist, this is not some self-educated layman you're talking to. I can do the math.
Point (e) is, well... even if it's right (and I don't think it is), so what? I don't think it's right simply because it isn't long enough. The Bible is a huge and complex document, you can't possibly consider it all in the relatively few pages at that web site. But even granting that you've used the whole Bible, again my response is, so what? You appear to be one of those who believe the Bible to be literally true and absolutely correct in all things, so it can't possibly matter whether you use bits of it or all of it. All of it's true and any selected bit of it is true.
Point (f) is wrong. It shows us what *you* think God wants us to do about poverty.
This is exactly what you would expect the Archangel to do isn't it?
No, it's not. I have no expectations at all of Archangels, because I see no reason to believe there's any such creature. It is, however, what I'd expect from a megalomaniac who thinks he's somebody very special and has a lock on some kind of absolute truth.
God has also called me to do it. I expect that He will intervene, as I get these kind of responses from those who cling to hymn singing. Unfortuanately His intervention will involve the destruction of the East coast of America.
Sure. Actually, if I were God, as the web site invites me to imagine, I think one of my first interventions would be to take out false prophets--by which I mean anyone who believes he has a lock on some absolute truth--with a ilghtning bolt.
Also can anyone here tell me why Jesus died on the Cross?
He was executed for treason and sedition by the Roman civil authorities, in a much more barbaric time than our own. If the rules of those days applied today, we'd be killing off pretty much every standup comedian on the planet.
I think this has to be the end of my conversation with you about these matters, alasdair. You're not giving straight answers to the questions I ask, you seem to understand very little of what I've written, your knowledge of the things you claim to know well appears very shallow to me, and I think you've got some serious issues with your ego. You've in effect claimed to be a messenger from God with your remarks about being called to do whatever it is you're trying to do, and as an unrepentent old atheist I can only conclude that you're seriously delusional. I don't think we have anything more to talk about.
