Seriously? I should accept Jesus because 10 years ago “Guy Cramer” wrote a piece using incomprehensible language and math claiming to prove that the Old Testament correctly predicted the date of Israel’s independence?

Seriously? I should accept Jesus...

No
You are incapable of "accepting Jesus" until He calls for you.

I think this is what the Pope was getting at when he was in Brazil. People need to know more about their religion when it is challenged than they do if everybody believes the same thing.

What I run into is that tolerance trumps truth. That assures that all conversations are very shallow. People want credit for having any old opinion they picked up somewhere.

Today, for instance, Bush vetoed stem cell research on moral and ethical grounds. Hillary called that ideology, denying the quest for truth and asserting the subjective, instead.

1) it doesn’t take that long to study something until you understand it
2) it proves the divine origin of the bible
3) he uses more math to show that the arrival of Jesus was predicted in a like manner

The Koran among other “holy” books, is not like this.

No, you should accept Christ because you're a sinner and desperately need His love. You should accept Christ not because you might die tonight, but because you will live tomorrow, and the day after that...
