also,how do they explain the things like,black magic,exorcism,witchcraft,psychic abilties.thess supernatural occurences only show that there is a God and there is also the Devil present.ministers use Gods spirit to heal or perform miracles while sorcerers use the spirit from the devil to perform their wonders.

i have seen a man with his head cut off talking,i have seen devil worshipers do things,i also once lived with a psychic auntie.i had a chance to see a person, now a minister of christ, cured of his disease,Aids.and further,a magician once turned a lil boy into a pig and failed to reverse him back to human.if you guys dont believe what i say,take time and visit west africa,nigeria and witness miracles done in jesus' name or ,if you stil are stubborn,then do a reseach on the dark side but just dont be lured into it coz the devil takes awy life while God thru Jesus gives life.

If God wanted to leave absolutely no room for anyone to doubt or try to disprove His existance and authority, He could have done. His thoughts and ways are better than ours - we'd love everyone to just have to believe - but God gives everyone the choice. People don't want it to be true that there is a God - the implications are too big. Like recognising that yes there is actually right and wrong - people don't want to go there - remember Pharohs magicians who tried to explain away the wonders that were shown them in Egypt - they didn't want to acknowlege God either - its nothing fresh! The reality of our Eternal God who controls everything in life and death is just more than folks can take - they want to "live a good life and be happy" They don't want to know about a God who will hold us responsible what we do with our lives, it just doesn't fit with their "lifestyle choice". They will either try to logically reason a way that it could possibly have happened without needing a God or they will just instantly dismiss these realities without further thought as just "fairy tales". Don't fret. Yes some people will try to explain things in a way that ignores God, they refuse to believe - creation itself cries out! Its of no suprise in one sense ... there is going to be both the sheep and the goats. Stand firm. One day every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that He Is LORD.

Witchcraft is not the work of the devil or evil, these are Christian concepts which didnt exist until the early church needed something to explain the suffering early christians were experiencing at the hands of the roman empire.
Whilst i dont mean to dump on anyones beliefs, ever thought that the miracles may have had a mundane explanation? the dead rising could have been somebody in a coma coming back alive for example.
Exorsicsm is not proof either, the human mind is a powerful thing and it is just as likely to be psychological belief in the ritual as devine intervention doing the job.
This doesnt take away from the words and ethos that jesus who had a lot of worthwhile and noble things to say. Im no Christian but even i can see that the guy made sense.

I've never seen anyone raised from the dead, have you? If you're talking about what you read in the bible, my question to you is, were you there? Did you see it? Have you ever seen a sorcerer? Are you talking about Paul Daniels being in league with the devil? (Actually, I could believe that). Don't be so gullible and use the brain that GOD gave you.
Just seen your extra details. Are you taking something when you see these things? Have you had an education? If I were you, I'd move away fast...

Brilliant question. You'll notice that people that have no belief in anything don't know how to answer this question. I asked a question earlier which was 'If God doesn't exist who makes the rules? The amazing thing is they couldn't answer that neither. Mans mind cannot grasp such questions. That's why people like Captain Atheist come up with stupid answers, and ask even dumber questions.

This is a ridiculous question. Obviously atheists do not believe in those things. I'm not aware of any evidence showing someone was raised from the dead, or black magic. We don't need to explain these things because they don't exist!
OK now I think you are just crazy.

Jesus is the firstborn of all creation. So that means he has to have a parent right? His parent is our maker,the God of Abraham. Jesus is not God. This idea of Jesus being God is coming from the same source that told the first lie. What was the first lie ever told? You will not die! The same opposer of God has turn Christendom into a mocker of God by proclaiming Jesus is God. They do not have a clue. God sent down his son to save us. look it up John 3:16. God did not send God down to earth. This splitting up of God into several parts is of the devil and has Babylonian roots. Multiple Deity's were despised by Muhammad that is why he founded Islam. Their is not but one God and He is the God of Abraham whatever name you decide to call him He IS God Almighty. Their ain't but one true God. This false doctrine of the trinity is a tool of the devil to get the Muslim's and the Jews to reject the good news of the redeemer Jesus Christ. God resurrected Jesus to heaven. Jesus was indeed in hades for 3 days and then he was raised up to be with the Father in heaven. There he waits until God decides to bust a move on all evil on this planet. That is the plain truth.

You're falsely assuming that there's any more evidence for those things than there is for god. There isn't. I don't have to explain them because they don't exist either.
Michelle... do you even know what a catch 22 is? This isn't one. These things simply don't exist either, and even if they did they wouldn't have to have anything to do with god.
Edit: Assuming that you even believe what you say, all you've seen is sleight of hand. That's all.

Either they believe none of these things occur... Or they believe the dead persont wasn't actually dead... or that all the witchcraft/psychic ablitiy is a evolving part of the human mind or somethin odd like that...

Seen any good horror movies lately? I saw one involving people being raised from the dead using black magic. The catholics performed an exorcism.
how come you didn't mention leprechauns and the little green people?

Easy...
Witchcraft is a mix of drugs and associated chemisrty. Plus psychology including psychosexaul psychology (ie how girls wrap guys around their fingers)
As for the Bible... you ever read celebrity biographics on how they are hyped up and things exagerated or say the cowboy movies where the indians were shown to be the bad guys...
Plus in olden times they did not know much so if you did CPR you raised the dead by laying on of hands.
Virgin birth? easy happens to teenagers a lot, You don't need to have sex you just need seimen to get on, in or near a girls vagina. ie splashes or on fingers.
You ever had a look into real witchcraft ie wickenisim... it aint evil they are like nice hippies. Its the christians who are evil who went around torturing, raping and buring alive gierls for healing sick pigs with the same medine used today.
Lets take the parting of the red sea... Columsn of fire seen in the area... indicating volcanoic activity. Which usually mean earth quakes.
Earthquakes = tidal waves characterised by the sea floods out (on a ridge this would mean it would appear to part. then flood back in a wall of water.
Noahs flood... Look up Gilgamesh... The noah story was a rip off of an earlier one and it appears to be more like the creation of the red sea when a bit of land broke down in Turkey like a massive dam burst creating the mother of all floods like several Niagra falls flooding an area bigger then a country.
In olden days a intercity trip was like a round the world one and they didn't have specail effects movies.
Stories get exagerated where the good guy is squeeky clean when he was not and the baddy overly bad.
Exorcisim is more likely abuse of the mentally ill.
Zombies are people drugged with something that slows their body down so much it looks like they are dead (like anesthetic) and deprivation of oxygen causes brain damage.
Jesus on the cross... normally takes 36 hours to die on one tends to hurt a lot. He was only up there a few hours and even though he had got beaten up first could have been brought down especailly if drugged first with something to knock him out (ie on a vingar soaked sponge on a stick) and a converted or sympatheric roman could have just wounded him... It was unusual not to break his legs to make him collapse.... so why was it done?
Sodom and Gamoura... just a mining town like a bad cowboy gold rush one... Got unlucky with meteorites and appearently on crumbly ground (near to the asphalnt being mined) pocketed with methane gas.
You can psych someone up enough to do incredimble things like a mum ripping the door off a car to rescue a kid in a burning car... its called adrenaline and natural... Or could be actors.
Look into magic in shows its tricks and specail effects...
Grow up and stop following fantasy
