Explain this, humankind
-
It makes sense in the context of an infinite being existing in numerous places at once. It's not useless as it shows God Himself died for our sins
-
What's the logic?
-
That's why the trinity is essential - Jesus is God. God became man so He could die Himself
-
If Jesus were to show up on an alien planet would He be incarnate as an alien
-
for what?
-
To be exact, it was a few centuries later that people told that about him, before it was written down.

Virgin births exist in nature. There are entire species of lizards that are only composed of females, for example the mourning gecko lepidodactylus lugubris only reproduces via virgin birth.
Due to how parthogenesis works, individuals born through virgin births are always clones of the mother. Thus they are all females.
If (big if) Jesus existed and IF (even bigger if) they were conceived through a virgin birth, they therefore must have been female since there were no male chromosomes involved in their conception. Hence, Jesus sex must have been female but their gender was male (he/him pronouns)... ergo they were a trans man.
-
Scholars unanimously agree that Jesus existed, was baptised and crucified. His followers had reason to believe that He rose from the dead as well.
You also left out explanation 0, which is that Jesus was conceived via the Holy Spirit. Jesus did have a Father - God. He is God from God. Joseph was also visited by an angel and I think we could probably take it as fact that they didn't divorce (as we have records of Jesus being referred to a boy of Joseph) So no, this can't cause a crisis of faith for a believer.
Miracles are called miracles for a reason- you are right that a virgin cannot give birth to a male without divine intervention (discounting artificial insemination)
-
No, it was a matter of decades.
-
How does it debunk Christianity?
-
it doesn't debunk, it raises additional questions. if you're all in, "it's a miracle" is a good enough explanation.
-
Thruth is, opinions differ a lot among christians when it comes to trinity. You should respect other views (and not just the christian ones).
-
Nah, hes supposed to take all of the ones that followed him to heaven to, so everyone dies right?
-
Zombie. Undead, eats flesh and blood, isn't allergic to sunlight, infection spreads through contact. Zombie.
-
Yes.
The question is, would he be alien to us or them.
-
No! It can’t be!
What is it?
It can’t be!
What did you do Ray?
Oh no!
It’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

More like "what didn't we do?"
Am I right?

Total nonsense that one can only accept through thorough indoctrination

Like 90% of what he told us to do, for starters.

Actually only the souls of the saved go to heaven. The bodies stay behind, and without any clear cause of death they become feral animals that sublimate their previously-ennobled desire for human togetherness into a simple guttural desire to consume human flesh.
The rest of us unrepentant sinners are left conscious among this new sea of soulless flesh, to defend ourselves against their ravenous teeth.
The saved man does not live on bread alone. He also desires communion, and Jesus has left the building.
