Sorry, not sure what you're confused about. I checked the BLB and it says the same thing - 983 results for Jesus. Take out the only 3 ones who are not Christ and you have 7x70+7x70, which other versions do not have.

There are 4 people named Jesus in the KJV for a total of 983 mentions. When you take out the 3 other Jesus named guys, you get Jesus, our Messiah mentioned 980 times, further showing the intelligent design behind this. 1) Jesus Barabbas, was the captive robber, whom the Jews begged Pilate to...

You pigeon-holed me in this 32 page discussion, how about that?

Sometimes my faith was weak and I was lying to myself, other times I completely forgot my faith and just assumed there is no God. Does that clear things up?

No, humans are more complicated than that, what we believe deep inside can contradict what we think we actually believe and what we actually tell others.

You do not know what people believe other than what they tell you. Can you read minds? Do you have a spirit of discernment? When I called myself atheist or agnostic, it was a time in my life I forgot about the gospel message. Vast majority of my life I never even remembered that time when I was...

Send me a link to your other post.

It sounds like you live in a bubble or a circle of believers and you can't fathom outsiders being saved.

Now you're just arguing with yourself. You defined atheist as someone who denies God's existence. I said I was one and I did that, and there are others who also do that. Then you proceeded to contradict yourself and said that's not true.

Like I said... I denied God's existence and called myself an atheist.

It was also a lie I told everyone else because my faith was very weak and most of the time never reached my conscious mind. I figured God is good, he will save me, or at least prove that he is real to give me a chance to believe... until then I'm just going assume he doesn't exist (while staying...

Go for it! Can't get any worse than the reception I got.:giggle:

Did you read anything I said??? I used to call myself an atheist, and denied God's existence before I was saved. I'm not the only one.

I meant to say "Bible definition" because you accused me of rejecting Bible definition of evil even though in my text I clearly put "society's definition of good and moral" on the spot. This is why I told you it's a lot more complicated than you make it out to be. Many people say things they...

You can quote things out of context all you want, but that doesn't change the fact there are plausible explanations, depending on the context of the verse. Writer of Kings and writer of Chronicles wrote from different perspective. An easier example would Gold brought from Ophir in 1 Kings...

It sounds like you keep quoting me out of context, I clearly said "society's definition of good and moral". That doesn't mean I'm rejecting the Bible, on the contrary, it means I don't recognize society's definition by writing it that way. Do you understand what context means?

When it comes to eternal life and salvation I have heart for everyone, even people I hate on the surface. "Forgive them father for they know not what they do"

The context here is we are talking about people who deny God's existence and claim to be atheist... And many atheists live good and moral lives according to humanity's definition of good and moral. It sounds like you are confusing atheists with moral degenerates.

Yes. And it's a lot more complicated than you make it out to be. I used to be an atheist and agnostic myself throughout most of my life. I grew up in agnostic family, but I remember when I was little I accepted Jesus deep in my heart and lived my life as if God might be real. There are so many...

WOW! Winner! Thank you for actually answering the question.
