If Christianity were a stone arch, what would be the key stone?

Question

Or is there just one? You know, what possible discovery or invention would make Christianity crumble to dust and prove beyond doubt that those who choose to follow it have a poorly functioning mental capacity?

Answer 1

Christians are people who have been explaining the failures of Jesus and the bible for two thousand years. They managed to get over their alleged messiah being executed (against all teachings up to that point). They managed to get over Jesus promising to return within the lifetime of the generation that heard him (or perhaps they just didn't believe him when he did return). They managed to get over numerous schisms by having each one declare itself to be the true remnant. The can probably get over anything you can imagine.

Answer 2

Key stone....Jesus Christ

Only one possible discovery or invention would make Christianity crumble to dust and prove beyond doubt that those who choose to follow it have a poorly functioning mental capacity? Just one thing would make that possible......Show the dead body of Christ. But you can't. They tried to in Biblical times and failed we can't now. He is risen and history has proved that fact.

Answer 3

I believe would be the holy trinity. The father the son and the holy ghost.

Invention to crumble Christianity?? Time machine a definite.
But for now, archaeological interpretations may cause some ruckus, but may not be enough to destroy the fate.
If you have something against Christians, please go see a shrink and stop looking at people for their religion and see them as a fella human being with PROPER mental capacity.

Answer 4

The Resurrection. Setting aside the fact that the notion violates every known fact of biology and physics, it is the keystone. However, it's invulnerable since all the proof in the cosmos that Jesus did not rise or Jesus did not die would change nothing.

Scorcese's Christ epic was instructive. Jesus is on the cross and the devil shows him the normal life he can have if he refuses the cross and survives. Jesus confronts Paul and insists he didn't die and Paul should stop preaching that he did, but Paul tells Jesus, "Maybe you are him. Even if you are, it doesn't matter."

And it wouldn't. Faith is unmerited belief. It does not depend on fact or proof, and, for most people, since they required no proof to believe, they will accept no proof that they believed too readily.

Answer 5

Nobody can crush Christianity. There is nothing that can actually prove Christianity is wrong. There is also nothing that can prove that Christianity is absolutely right, either. Christianity is based upon beliefs that have no real physical evidence. People believe because they want to believe and feel it is morally right. Christianity gives a lot of people hope that there is someone looking after them and that there may be a chance for life after death.

Answer 6

The resurrection. But to take this stone away would take more than finding a corpse and calling it God. The living God is inside of me. He promises to indwell those who believe Him. You have no way of disproving Him other than trying Him at His word. Believe the things He says and then see if He does not live in you. Or do you know any of the things He has said?

Answer 7

The 3 center stones would be Faith, Hope and Love with the greatest and most important being love. Jesus himself said these were the three most important things.

Answer 8

Jesus told Peter that he was "rock" and upon him Jesus would build His Church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
Peter, the first Pope is the rock or key stone, representing Christ on earth.

Answer 9

Probably a chunk of Stonehenge. They stole everything else from paganism.

Answer 10

The thing that holds it all together is aversity towards non-Christians.
