Jesus seems to be good moral teacher who wanted to uplift humanity but do you think he died because of fallacy?

  Jesus was not a "good moral teacher", if what He taught was incorrect, or wrong.
  
  One example is that He claimed He had the power to lay down His life, and take it up again, (resurrection). If He never rose from the dead, as you claim, He lied, and showed Himself to be a liar, and therefore immoral.
  
  If He was true (which He was), then why do you not believe Him?

  @aka-dj thats the whole point....jesus was not liar but himself victim of false belief...there are many example of jesus like people who died because they believed with full conviction but what they believed was false...worst example would be muhammad atta...he believed he would get heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!....so dying for something one is convinced of doesnot make that person a liar but person who believes in something which isnt true....that is what even jesus became victim of....

  No. Just because you are a Christian, it does not follow you are going to do something like that; but the dictates of your religion require you to deny advancements in scientific understanding that contradict Holy Scripture, e.g. evolution, homosexuality, and (possibly) climate change.
  
  Some Christians just take an easier route and aren't literalists, thereby avoid the problem altogether; but for fundamentalists, these issues are definitely troublesome.

  Bible hasn't reached 2,000 years old yet...it's barely 1,700 years old. I find it funny though that there are so many Christian literalists when even the early Church historian Eusebius (260-340CE) stated that the New Testament was taken from the Essens. The exact quote from him is "the Gospels of the New Testament were really the old dramatic books of the Essens, from the pre-Christian days."

  He died because religious power was one of the strongest and longest lasting power because it allows you to control people's thoughts, words and actions. When the people who had the politico religious power discovered what he was doing and saying, it meant he asked people to submit to a different power and invest in another religion, they killed him to keep the power, quiet him...anybody knows now that when you kill the messenger you make the message more powerful!

Jesus died because that was God's plan altogether. He sent his son to earth for the purpose of that very thing. He had a great plan to send his son to die for our sins on the cross and rise again just to show the world what he said about rising again and those who believe will be with him in eternity. We will see him again because to be absent from the body is to be present with him. His word says so. The Jews who wanted Baraba let loose instead of Jesus was also God's plan. They we used by God to play the part. Even Judas was used by God to betray Jesus.

  You don't really help your argument with ridiculous statements like this, just FYI.
  
  As for the main question, I disagree that the rabbi who became the basis for the Jesus story died because of fallacy. I think Yeshua3 knew what he was doing when he attacked the temple in Jerusalem, and was well aware that it was a capital offense that would likely lead to his eventual and very public martyrdom. He probably saw it as the best way to ensure that his story long outlived him.
  
  If this indeed was his plan, I think we can agree that it worked - it certainly gave his apocalyptic cult a ton of publicity that the other apocalyptic cults of the time simply couldn't compete with, and is the main reason why it's still around today.

  It does not say that Noah "gathered" anything.It says that they just "went". into the ark.
  
  Gen 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

  At least 50 thousand species of beetles might fit on the ark. According to Vector, Noah had to cram at least 700 species of dinosaurs on that boat too.
  
  "the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits" (Genesis 6:14 - 16)
  
  A cubit is the length of elbow to finger-tips.
  
  For the sake of argument well go ahead and error on the side of remotely possible (and more easily multiplied) and make Noah a mountain of a man. We'll give him a 24 inch cubit. (The Egyptian cubit-the longest mentioned anywhere else in the bible was 20.6 inches)
  
  So... okay that gives us a boat that is 7200 inches (600 feet) long, 1200 inches (100 feet) wide and 720 inches (60 feet) tall.
  
  Okay, so that's a pretty big boat. Made out of wood. So it's a wicked heavy boat too.
  
  Now lets talk about Sauropods. Just Sauropods for now. Argentinosaurus was 120 feet long and 100 tons. We'll go ahead and assume that they were unclean... so only one pair was necessary. It's little cousin... the Sauroposeidon was 100 feet long and weight a mere 60 tons. The Futalognkosaurus was smack in the middle of that weighing in at around 80 tons and around 110 feet in length. I would drag out the measurements on every species but I will say that if you put the 10 biggest species of SAUROPODS on a boat (by twos) They would weigh around 1300 tons and you would have to stack them on top of each other for deck space... (Forget the hold, it isn't tall enough)
  
  Then if you add the ten heaviest theropods (T-rex shaped) then you would add an additional 200 tons of weight. The good news is they would fit in the hold...just barely...
  
  So right now we have around 1500 tons (That's 3 million pounds for those keeping track) of lizard on a wooden boat that's 60 feet tall. From 20 mating pairs of dinosaurs.
  
  But wait... now we'll throw in the ten biggest species of ceratopsians (triceratops like dinos) They range from 23-30 feet in length and add another 200 tons.
  
  30 species of just dinosaurs... Three and a half million pounds.
  
  The real fun begins when you start trying to stuff the rest of the dinosaurs and all the other animals on board.
  
  It's a good thing that all the water in the world would only global flood land to a depth of a couple centimeters... cause that's about the only way the the ark ain't sinking.

  Or did you fabricate those too? I don't see any of what you posted alive anyway so apparently they didn't float on a boat.. apparently they died. And the water used to be above your head, no different than ozone, and earthquakes make for really deep dive zones .... The oxygen levels and air density were much higher prior to the flood because of it.. You don't seem to have studied any of what YOUR scientists tell you do you? Except for that word evolution that's still a theory.

  Get defensive? Yes, that is correct. To defend one's self against a lie is to be [verb] defensive. It is required to 'defend'...
  
  And I didn't call you a liar, which is another stretch of something I stated.. But everyone in fact is in some degree a liar. Tell me you have never lied and I'll be laughing about it at gatherings for the rest of my life..
  
  I siad you lied, and you did at that. What you claimed I said or implied was incorrect as I never said nor implied it, therefore it is a lie. And yes, I will correct it if it is a lie about me.
  
  Not being ugly, just being straight. I don't play fake. What you see is me, no butter cover for popularity.
  
  Job, was written before Genesis. It is extremely old.
  
  And the descriptions are undoubtedly dinosaurs. Anyone claiming otherwise has literacy comprehension issues. Not criticism, just being straight again.
  
  It tells of dinosaurs, which died in the flood.
  
  With the [scientific] facts that I have researched and found that fit, I TRULY believe that if people searched 'genuinely' and weren't critical of God's Word, The Holy Bible, they would see Him and the truth of His existence as well and obviously as I do.
  
  They don't believe simply because God isn't striking them dead when they speak His name in vain or showing His face WHEN they demand it or HOW they demand it.
  
  But they think it's impossible for God to have a full record of every deed and thought.. It's SOOO not..
  
  He can see your entire life just like you can recall every step you took yesterday to make your cheese sandwich..
  
  Which means all the people saying "Hell can't exist, I can't believe in that.. That's impossible." They won't have to believe if they keep pushing away God's life saver.. They are going to drown and blame God for being in Hell after they pushed His help away for years and years and years thousands of times and He can recall every one in an instant.
  
  He doesn't put people there... He throws a raft over and over, they push it away, and choose to drown.. They choose not to search for the help, and just deny it because they don't like it.
  
  The ostrich can stuff his head in the sand all he likes because the thought is horrible....
  
  When the lion gets to him though, he's still going to be lunch, even if it is horrible and he can't believe it anymore.. ::plop:: head in sand.. ::crunch:: still got ate.
  
  The more I tell people of Hell, the farther down their head goes......
  
  But God didn't put their head in the sand. He warned them and saved them.
  
  They choose what they get. If God MADE them accept Jesus THENN and ONLY THEN could they claim they don't have free will.

  And just a few questions:
  
  Biblically, please name the verse where God instructs Noah to leave all the dinosaurs behind. (And woolly mammoths as well while we're at it)
  
  Cause this is how it goes:
  
  Genesis 6:19-22
  
  19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
  
  20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
  
  21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
  
  22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
  
  I didn't see anything about "except dinosaurs that is Noah... oh and woolly mammoths" As a matter of fact, God was pretty specific. "EVERY LIVING THING OF ALL FLESH"
  
  2. Could you please post references to the "Dinousars in the bible" thing. Cause the only thing that you could mean is in Job 40:15-24
  
  3. Going on the Job reference, dinosaurs existed after the flood because the events in Job happened after the flood... including the sighting of the "behemoth".
  
  The way I see it, that means that
  
  1. Dinosaurs were on the Ark... which they couldn't have been because they simply wouldn't fit.
  
  2. God didn't say what Genesis says he says (So the book is obviously incomplete... at the least)
  
  3. Job was describing a beast that wasn't a dinosaur. Which means their are no biblical references to dinosaurs at all. If the world is only as old as the bible says it is... you would think that SOMEWHERE in the bible would be reference to a 100 ton lizard. Also, since we actually have the bones... something needs to account for that. Oh, it also means you were lying in your statement about dinosaurs being talked about in the bible.
  
  Am I missing any other possibilities?
  
  If you fail to address any of these points and simply choose to call names go for it. I'll assume it means that you either have discovered that you were wrong about the scriptures or that the scriptures themselves are wrong... For your sanity I would suggest option 1.

  I'm popping my two cents in again lol
  
  There is a lot of speculation going here and there is no proof of what is being said.
  
  I could also speculate and say that maybe Noah took baby dinosaurs on the ark but we were not there,we do not know what took place.
  
  There are some things that are just a mystery that we may never know.
  
  I could also speculate that Job is referring to some kind of hippopotamus or whatever a Nile horse is.
  
  H930
  בּהמות
  behêmôth
  be-hay-mohth'
  In form a plural of H929, but really a singular of Egyptian derivation: a water ox, that is, the hippopotamus or Nile horse: - Behemoth.
  
  Or maybe some sort of cattle?
  
  H929
  בּהמה
  behêmâh
  be-hay-maw'
  From an unused root (probably meaning to be mute); properly a dumb beast; especially any large quadruped or animal (often collectively): - beast, cattle.
  
  The point is we don't know.
  
  Just like unicorn in Num 23:22,24:8,Job 39:9,Psa_29:6,92:10
  
  Is it really a unicorn as we know them or....just a wild bull?
  
  H7214
  רם רים ראים ראם
  re'êm re'êym rêym rêm
  reh-ame', reh-ame', rame, rame
  From H7213; a wild bull (from its conspicuousness): - unicorn.
  
  We can only speculate.

  That was sort of the point. I don't care, really, what anyone believes personally. It makes for interesting conversation at times but I'm not going to go out of my way to prove the Bible (or really any other religious text) wrong... unless (and this is big) someone goes out of their way to try to discount others by using the bible...
  
  As such the statement:
  
  "Is that a joke? The book of Job contains descriptions of dino's...
  
  Anyone that denies it is lying to themselves."
  
  Is just self-righteous enough for me to ask for an explanation... any explanation really... of their claims.
  
  In this case there isn't one. Not scientifically and not Biblical. The poster cannot present anything that makes any sense from any source... which is also fine, I guess, if he isn't implying that those who don't see it his way are in denial or lying to themselves.
  
  If he would have said "I believe that Job has dino descriptions" and left it at that, I would have been fine. I would have thought he was wrong, but that's that.
  
  And just for the record, most biblical scholars believe that Job was talking about either an elephant or a hippo... And the context he was speaking in, btw, was a poem.
  
  Nor do I think that the problem with believably here lies with the Bible so much as the person interpreting it.

  I know people can get heated and frustrated when debating such things, myself included.
  
  Job is taken out of context a lot and misinterpreted a lot.
  
  I'm not preaching to you here but this may help defuse some of the issue.
  
  Job 40:17 says,
  "He moveth his tail like a cedar"
  
  People misinterpret/misunderstand that as the tail is as BIG as a cedar.
  It does not say that the tail is as big as a cedar.
  
  It moves like one..maybe like how the wind blows through a cedar tree,swaying.

  Thanks again.

  Literal interpretations towards any type of symbolic verbiage, always leads to confusion. It sort of reminds me of when some people are too dumb to understand sarcasm, for example. Not that you are, just saying...

Jesus died because he was a human being. I personally find the idea that Jesus took my sin unto himself. I'm a big boy, and if I've gotten booted to hell, then I probably deserve it. If you can't do the time.... I am responsible for me, and no one need to sacrifice themselves for me. What does others taking the rap for you, and you letting them, say for you? If heaven is full of those folks, then I really don't want to go there.

It is important to study how the book came to be, not only the words written in it, to understand it completely. We should thank Martin Luther for his works, without him we may still have to go to a priest and have him translate it for us.

  There are currently around 50 authors for the bible. Martin Luther translated as best he could what had already be re-written many times over. It has been re-written again and again since he translated it. I think we should thank no one as we have no original copy of the work outside of what the Vatican has deemed ok for us to read and study..which could easily be faked yet again. We will never know.

  You're arguing against scholars that spent their life doing work in only that field?
  
  What is your profession?

  Vector,
  I have found that much like an uncle of mine, you read only what you want to read and skip over everything else in order to attempt to argue things which you really don't know.
  
  To give just an example, I'm sure you heard of the Apocrypha. They were excavated by the united states and while the guy who found them was working on deciphering them, the Vatican came in and took them. The only translations we currently have of them are what the Vatican has felt ok to release. Am I arguing against scholars? No, I'm arguing against blatant stupidity. Which is exactly what it is if you think the people who have had the power over Christianity for over 1,000 years are going to translate any documents correctly and then hand them over to the public. They spent thousands of years, and thousands of lives, destroying other religions, their scrolls, and most of the books the world possessed so that no one would have a leg to stand on against them. I'm no where near stupid, nor am I blind or deaf, nor do I refuse to actually put in the hard work and study myself to learn the things that happened.
  
  We have gone around before about you attacking people. Once again you present not the slightest bit of evidence of anything and you go for directly attacking me. Once again, I'm not the only person that you see fit to do this to. Unfortunately for you, not everyone who disagrees with you is some majorly flawed person for you to over throw. Nor are we liars or stupid. Just because we would rather use our brains and learn instead of letting it sit and rot or be filled with a bunch of bs we never found out for ourselves, does not mean in any way shape or form that we are stupid. I do not consider you to be a stupid person at all, though you do seem to be full of hate and seem to have a need to take it out on all that don't agree with you. If you don't have anything to actually add to what someone says, or you don't have any evidence of what someone is saying is wrong, then perhaps you should just not respond.
  
  As for arguing against scholars, I'm actually agreeing with them. They have shown, using the Ecclesiastical Histories kept by the church, that they have been allowed to obtain and read, that falsifying things was the common practice of the Church. They re-wrote the bible themselves as many times as they saw fit to do so. They changed what they thought needed to be changed in order to better suit their cause. So no, I'm not arguing against the scholars, I'm agreeing with them. If you had bothered to even do a little research before making such and absurd post, you would've known that.
  
  Cheers

  Attacking?? LOL
  
  My goodness man..
  
  I won't reply anymore sensitive Sam.
  
  You people and your lies.. I attacked NO ONE...
  
  LOL
  
  Now you'll shoot off 'wow, how Christian you are'..
  
  for laughing at dramatization? yes, it's funny..
  
  I didn't attack you.
  
  It was meant to prove a point. The answer is non-specific rhetorical..
  
  You aren't a pro in the field, yet you speak like you consider yourself one.
  
  now, seeing as I'm an evil demon attacking you with my point..
  
  peace
