Explain this, humankind
-
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?"

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.

It's not like all humankind suffers and he is a relatable representation of our own suffering. Kind of like Iron Man or other heroes.
-
Well, Iron Man was crucified for our sins.
As was James T. Kirk.
-
I mean, he got better so it's nbd right?

It’s so interesting to see reactions of horror triggered by a mention of kindness suddenly putting one’s own actions into perspective.

The rapture is unbiblical anyway. None of this really comes from the actual text - it’s squinting and connecting random unconnected Bible verses.
-
Why did God create a bespoke Y chromosome just for Jesus? Why couldn’t Jesus have been born female? What would that change?
-
"Miracles" are only compelling to people who already believe.
They're utterly unconvincing to anyone not indoctrinated, as proven by the fact that you don't believe in Hindu, Buddhist, Mormon, or Muslim miracle accounts.
