Quote:This has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether or not people believed Jesus died on the cross, so this point is invalid.
As for whether or not you were a Christian, the only 2 things you have pointed to are:
1) You were raised in a "Christian background"
2) You started studying Christianity when you were 18.
Now, were you raised in it or did it not start till you were 18? Which is/was it?
Actually, your answer to that doesn't really matter, because neither one of those 2 statements has anything at all to do with whether YOU WERE A CHRISTIAN or not. If you think that those statements demonstrate that you were, then you've simply proven my theory that you don't really know what it means to be one.

1)Yes I was a Christian at that time,I accepted Jesus(pbuh) as my saviour, was then Baptised and went to church and read my bible.And tried to live the best christian life I could.
2)Like I said,I was raised with a christian background,I was not christian until I was 18 then I began studying the Bible.Over the yrs in my studies is when I came upon the discrepencies that I talked about in other posts.I just didnt accept things because my minister or church told me it was so.The more I studied the more errors I came across.
3)The Gospels were not written until almost 30 yrs after Jesus(pbuh),so whos to say they didnt make the story up about the Crucifixon.
