They use something they call prayer.
Prayer is nothing more than one's TALKING to oneself.
So. Show me the evidence. Ya' know, Mr Keller, AS OF
the Scientific Method: The EVIDENCE therefor. A Thing in Religion.
"Religious Education" is child ABUSE. Very many Folks Using Evidence for their lives KNOW this. No child should be inculcated with religious indoctrination. ELIMINATE INHERITED FALSEHOODS and MUCK.
The looking into the World's Islam, Judaism and Christianity --- AS to mock it AS dumb and, worse, AS harmful should not be begun UNTIL adulthood.
IF no child knew A Thing about "religions" until they were 18 and over ? The World would be soooo, so ... ... well, C A L M !

"
Regarding belief in the resurrection and the virgin birth.
A perfect man rebelled against God and introduced sin (falling short of the glory, i.e. perfection, of God) into the world (ROMANS 3:23). For sinners to be reconciled with God would require that they pay the punishment for ALL of their sin, individually. Since ALL sin is mortal i.e., requires both temporal and eternal DEATH, no one can pay for their own sin (ROMANS 6:23). To resolve this seeming dilemma, God foreordained that He Himself would enter the world in physical form, live a perfect live, and die a death that would pay the eternal debt for ALL sinners (ROMANS 5:8). Those that believe i.e., trust, in His payment would be forgiven their sin, reconciled with God and secure eternal LIFE (EPHESIANS 2:8-9).
The virgin birth is necessary for God, in the form of the Messiah Jesus, to be both perfect (therefore, able to make both a widespread and eternal payment for sin) and a man (therefore, able to specifically save mankind).
The resurrection is necessary for God to demonstrate that He alone has power over temporal and eternal life and over physical and spiritual death.
If the Messiah, Jesus, was merely a man, he could not pay for the sin of others. Even were he perfect, he could not pay the sin of others.
If the Messiah, Jesus, were not resurrected, he would have no power over death, temporal or eternal.
As you can see, Jesus as a mortal man who died a common death cannot provide eternal life for anyone. Jesus as God-in-the-flesh can provide reconciliation for ALL those who repentant of their sin and trust exclusively in His death and resurrection as eternal satisfaction for sin.
In short, belief in the virgin birth and the Resurrection are essential elements to trusting the Messiah, Jesus, for payment of one’s sin and the guarantee of Eternal Life. It’s a package deal in which skepticism is resolved by trusting in the testimony of eyewitnesses and drawing the correct conclusion (a process that defies scientific method, which requires recreation of the original process; but, which easily replicates the method we use in our justice system every day). — Rev. Caldon
Is anybody else’s head spinning after reading this?
I stifled myself.
And you know this how exactly?
That was my question. The answer, of course, will be, “Because the Bible says so!”"
