~~~~~~~~~~Christian faith is unbending~~~~~~~?

Question

This is my personal favorite. Ask a Christian the following: "If Zeus came out of the sky and said he was the God of the universe and renounced Jesus as having any divine power, would you still believe in Jesus?" Every Christian says "yes I would still believe in jesus". This proves, (regardless of whether or not Christianity is right or wrong) that they would actively believe in something that was proven wrong. If Zeus came down I sure as hell would worship him.

P.S.: If you don't have anything IMPORTANT to say, stay out of it, i dont want "your such a hater!" comments. If you've got nothing intellegent to say then your better off not saying anything.

lol, i love you guys. May the tooth fairy bless you :)

Answer 1

May Mother Nature smile upon you as well. Sick of people telling others what they should and should not believe. So great question.

Answer 2

How can you hypothisize about something that has no chance of being true? What evidence is there to give zeus an even ounce of credibility? If there is evidence for zeus, I'd give that thought a chance, but since there ain't. Why do I even have to contemplate it. We believe in Jesus cause we know He is true. And the case for Christ is one with no comparison. I could easily turn this question around and say. If Christ came to this world a second time, would you still doubt? Or would you still hold on to your unbending ways? blessings

Answer 3

The question you ask is misleading.

They asked if they would still believe in Jesus. Not "Do you believe in Zeus".

They would have the realization of Zeus, but realization does not bely the existence of Jesus. It simply means that there is yet another guy on the world (admittedly with powers) that is trying to sway people to his thinking, albiet with a much more impressive package... like visual proof.

People will believe what they have been raised to believe.

And we are constantly being raised.

Answer 4

You have your facts wrong Zeus was a Viking warrior came from the sea who else has red hair and a beard. My faith is unbending and i believe in the bible totally as is and this is what you need to gain the kind om of heaven. Yes Jesus is my hero and God is my father.

Answer 5

But Zeus mythologically speaking, as in Xena and Hercules series came out to be susceptible to death. I watched the episodes and Hercules struck Zeus to death. Therefore the comics god of Homer's myth series cannot and will not appear anymore to senses. I even wondered why the director gave a death end to Zeus.

Though some might think Jesus sounds like "je-zeus", but no I prefer 2424. "Iesous" ee-ay-sooce' of Hebrew origin (3091); Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites:--Jesus.

2203. Zeus dzyooce of uncertain affinity; in the oblique cases there is used instead of it a (probably cognate) name Dis deece, which is otherwise obsolete Zeus or Dis (among the Latins, Jupiter or Jove), the supreme deity of the Greeks:--Jupiter.

The hypothetical "zeus" came down can be paralleled as "if someone come down" and tell us he/she is a god and denies "Jesus Christ and His teachings", well in my part, I will tell to that thing which came down that even wicked angels can do what he/she did.

Answer 6

They may say that now - since it is a hypothetical - but would they really still believe in Jesus if another God happened to make him/herself known?

Somehow I sincerely doubt it.

A lot of people can talk big when something isn't truly on the line. Only in the actual situation can you really see what people's repsonses will be.

Answer 7

Hypothetically speaking...if that happened I'd still worship "God" (i.e. "JESUS") simply because I could care less how much crap I go through here, because a 'god' (lowercase) is a little jealous...

I'm more concerned about Eternity...and Zeus will end up with the rest of the heathens!(in hell)

By the way, I also believe in Not putting the Lord, my God to the test....

Jesus rules supreme, and that's never going to change.
Thanks for trying anyway...

I'll pray for you.

Answer 8

Its due to faith. If Darwin came back from the dead and said he had Evolution all wrong, yet science supports it, who do you believe?

Its the same idea, what you lay your faith in, needs not to be proven......nor for that matter disproven. Thats the essence of faith in anything, to believe something that has no proof. Can ues PROVE it, or is he pulling that out of his behind? Better yet, is it REALLY Zeus, how would we know. Your idea alone leaves to many open questions to answer.

Answer 9

Well, if I came up to you and proved evolution, and you were a fundie, you would still believe in creation. So I guess, Fundies are just good at ignoring reality.

This is a good point, regardless of the haters. Also, Christianity has been repetitively proven wrong. Your example would be the first error dealing strictly with Gods:science however has proven many Christians beleifs incorrect. So yes, the Christian would continue believing in God, because obviously Zeus was "planted by Satan" just like the fossils.

Answer 10

The likelihood of that happening is about the same as purple unicorns taking over the world.

But here's my question to you: Would you believe it if it happened? I really would like to know. Most people are just as convinced in their beliefs, whether it is in evolution or anything else. That stubbornness is a part of humanity more than it is a part of Christianity.

Answer 11

then that's good for you to worship him, most christians wouldn't because it's not what we believe that will happen and if it did happen, we'd (I) would still keep the faith in Christ not Zeus. and also, I'm not banging a drum to you that you have to believe that christianity is right or wrong, it's your free choice/free will to believe or not to and it doesn't make you less or more than others with different faith.
