>and lose all individuality
Christianity affirms personal identity in the afterlife. saints retain their uniqueness, and individuality is seen as part of God's design.
the idea of merging into a divine whole and losing self is more aligned with eastern philosophies, not Christianity.
judgment and reward are based on individual lives and choices (Romans 14:12) which presupposes retained identity

>and become a part of God.
Christians believe in being united with Christ (John 15) but not becoming God or being absorbed into Him.
Christian theology maintains that humans remain distinct from God, even in glorified communion.
the idea of becoming "part of God" leans toward pantheistic or panentheistic views, which Christianity explicitly rejects (besides some weirdo eastern orthodox.)


>Jesus' historicity
contrary to your claim, there are non-Christian sources that reference Jesus. the roman historian tacitus mentions Jesus' execution under pilate in annals.
jewish historian josephus also refers to Jesus in aniquities of the jews. lots more evidence in pic related.
>Christian belief in death
the idea that Christians "think it's fine to just die" is a gross distortion. Christianity teaches the sanctity of life, hope in resurrection and moral responsibility. faith in Jesus isn't a death wish, it's a call to live with purpose compassion and courage.

Christ literally exists and His death burial and resurrection were real historical events that actually happened

>>513583776
we can't interrogate pilate, but we can still examine historical records, archaeological data, and textual transmission.
if someone could demonstrate, for example, that Jesus never existed, or that the resurreciton accounts were fabricated centuries later, that would seriously undermine Christianity.
but the opposite has happened. the resurrection is attested in early sources like Paul's letters and the credal formula in 1 Cor 15:3-7 that likely dates to within a few years of Jesus' death according to secular scholarship.

so while we can't falsify it today like we could in 33 AD, the claim remains historically testable, and it's precisely because it invites that scrutiny that Christianity stands out.

>some jew sweated
It's not sweat
it's literally a 1/1000th of an inch deep radiation burn.
And we couldn't recreate it with modern technology.
of course the one true God left absolutely irrefutable proof of his existence.
he wants you to know
and he wants your rejection of him to be intentional and knowing.
repent friend.
hell awaits.

Wrong. It is a historical fact that Jesus rose from the dead, vindicating his claims of divinity, by a demonstration of his divine power over life and death.

>The best explanation for the facts agreed upon by virtually every scholar of every religious persuasion and worldview who has studied the evidence is that Jesus actually rose from the dead. If someone wants to dispute this, they must deal with the evidence, including the criteria for historical reliability, and offer some reason why this explanation falls short or provide a better explanation for the facts.

Christians use arguments for mere theism to get people away from gaytheist materialism,
then evidential argumentation like
>the resurrection argument
>the empty tomb argument
>the eyewitness testimony argument
>the reliability of the new testament documents argument
>the fulfilled prophecy argument
>the miracle claims argument
>the argument from martyrdom
>the argument from the growth of the early church
>the argument from archaeological confirmation
>the argument from extra-biblical historical sources
>the argument from the uniqueness of Jesus
>the argumnet from the coherence of the Christian worldview
>the argument from transformation of lives
>the argument from the consistency of scripture
to bring people into Christianity in particular, it's a short tiny jump from mere theism to Christianity since your worldview would allow for miracles like the resurrection.

Men have a natural inclination to seek their Creator.
Christianity is true and correct.

It is written He resurrected, and hundreds of people saw him, people that would go into their death for this. Before the resurrection, they scattered, had seconds thoughts, were afraid, but after the resurrection, they walked into their death to proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. They saw Him alive. He turned the ancient world upside down, and 2000 years later, He is the most famous person in existence and His name carries the largest religion on earth.

Revelation 1:17-18
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

>Why do many believe Christianity is important for western "white" society?
because it's important for everyone.
>religion of Christianity formed 300-400 years after Jesus' death
secular scholarship (even skeptics) date the formal creed of 1 Cor 15:3-8 to 5 years after Jesus' death, so ~35 AD
