Christianity Knowledge Base Flashcards
This is so bizzare because the plan changes with each gospel that comes out.
Here they are in Biblical order:
To Matthew, salvation is keeping Jewish law.
To Mark, salvation is death of Jesus paid the price.
To Luke, salvation is forgiveness that comes from repentance.
To John, salvation is faith that Jesus is the “I am” God of Moses, and that you must be born again (accept Jesus as God and become a new creature.)
Did you know that every religious culture has it’s own story of creation?
Did you know that just in recorded history alone there have been dozens of saviors?
Did you know that the four gospels we have in today’s Bible were not assigned names until almost five generations after the time the Bible says Jesus was born?
Did you know all the gospels were written many decades after the fact?
Did you know the gospels were all written in a foreign language that the disciples would not understand?
Did you know all the gospels were written in the third person? This proves there were no eye witnesses. Eye witness writings are always in the first person.
Did you know the New Testament was written 400 years after the fact of Jesus being born?
The New Testament did not even have names assigned to the books, like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The names we have on the gospels today were added to the first edition of the Bible that came out in 140 CE. It was named the Marcion Bible. It was very small compared with the Bible of today.
The New Testament didn’t come out until around 400 CE. The books that are in our Bible today were put there by the Roman government and other Powers that be, like Popes, Bishops etc.
Did you know that the main missionary of worldwide Christianity, Constantine, was a brutal sociopath who murdered his eldest son, decapitated his brother-in-law and killed his wife by boiling her alive, and that was after he proclaimed that he had converted from worshipping the sun god to being a Christian. Yet he also changed the course of Christian history, ultimately influencing which books made it into the New Testament.
Is the Bible true?
Do you think that …
- God places rainbows in the sky after a rain storm?
- People speak different languages because of the Tower of Babel?

Did you know the Catholic official date for creation of the universe is October 23, 4004 BCE at exactly 0900?
Do you believe this today?
This was determined by church leader, Bishop Usher. Born 1/4/1581 and died 3/21/1656.
If the Bible were true, we would not have….
DIAMONDS
Diamonds are formed 87 to 118 miles deep in Earth’s mantle. The oldest diamonds formed 3.3 BYA and the youngest found are 1 Billion years old. Volcanos bring them up to the Earths surface were we can find them.
Diamonds are made from Carbon not coal.
If the Bible were true we would not have …
COAL
Coal is formed from the decay of ancient forests, millions of years ago.
The coal in use today formed over 300 MYA.
It takes 10 feet of prehistoric plant debris to make one foot of coal.
If the Bible were true we would not have any …
CAVES
Caves are made of limestone. Limestone is compacted sea life fossils.
Average time to make a cave is 300 to 350 Million years.
Cave of the winds in Colorado says 500 MYA it was first formed by a sea that covered pikes peak. That sea’s dead sea life turned to limestone which turns into Cave of the Winds cave we have today.
A sky full of STARS. Most of the stars in the sky would be missing because they are well over 6,000 light years away.
Just the simple fact that we can see these trillions of stars and galaxies from Earth and Hubble telescopes proves absolutely that the universe is Billions of years old.
How old?
The Universe is aged at 13.7 Billion years old. For further proof, the most distant galaxy sited from Hubble is EGS-z58-1. This galaxy is 13.1 Billion light years from Earth, yet we can see it with the Hubble telescope.
Our Earth is aged at 4.6 Billion years old.
Jesus said “ask ANYTHING in my name and I will do it for you”
If the Bible were true, we would not have …
- Hospitals, because Jesus would heal everybody prayed for.
- Cemeteries, because Jesus would raise our friends and families from the dead.
- 29,000 children dying everyday. The daily pile of bodies would be tall as Mt. Everest. Jesus would restore every life!
- Ambulances and emergency rooms, trauma centers, operating rooms, surgeons, car insurance, life insurance, armies, bullets and bombs. Jesus would answer every prayer. He promised, and you said the Bible is God’s word and every word is true.
Gods are geographical.
If you grew up in Iraq or Afghanistan, who would be your God?
Allah.
Do you really think a supreme being, God, would send his message for all future ages during a time in history when illiteracy is over 99%?
Even the kings could not read, yet you believe the poor fishermen disciples wrote the gospels in Koine Greek language in a high composition level of competence?
During a time when people think lightning bolts are hurled to Earth by Gods?
Thunder and earthquakes are from Thor’s hammer striking the earth?
Ships are sunk by the God Poseidon?
What about the Neanderthals that lived for 100,000 years before us Sapiens. We carry their DNA, yet no salvation plan for them?
You really believe this?
Did you know the New Testament was not written until the 5th century? This was centuries after when he Bible says Jesus was born.
There were over 100 Gospels, but only four got into the Bible, and these four were heavily edited to favor the Roman Government.
In fact there were many revolts and uprisings about Jesus. It took over 400 years for them to decide who and exactly what he was.
It ended up with no consensus and the Roman government just published it according to their viewpoints.

Do you think Sunday is a sabbath day?
This is how Sunday became a day of the week.
Naming a day of the week as Sunday was the idea from the Roman Emperor, Constantine.
Constantine had many Gods, but his favorite was the Sun God, Sol Ivictus. So to honor his Sun God, Constantine renamed a day of the week in honor of his Sun God. The name he gave it was Sun Day.
Constantine invented this name “Sunday” on Monday, March 7th, 321CE.
Constantine declared it Sunday and that it was to be a day of rest.
So you see, it has nothing to do with the Bible or Christianity. It belongs to the Sun God, Sol Invictus.

Did you know that Constantine named the day “Sunday” in honor of his favorite “Sun God”, Sol Ivictus, and declared it a day of rest?
Did you know that the church did not choose the dates for crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection until the 7th century?
Did you know that it took 400 years after the birth of Jesus for the Romans to decide who Jesus was? Was he God or man? Was he a man who turned into a God? The people of Rome had no idea what Jesus was or who he was supposed to be. They had centuries of bitter civil wars over this subject. Finally after all this confusion the Emperor Constantine decided who Jesus was and that he was three Gods in one, a Trinity. These characteristics were just pulled out of thin air by Constantine and his cronies. Many thousands of people were killed, beheaded, burned at the stake, etc. who challenged Constantine’s dictum on Jesus. After awhile, all that was left were the people who believed it. A couple of generations later, everyone was brainwashed from the cradle onward that these attributes Constantine decreed to be the absolute truth.

Heaven and hell. How did we get to here believing in them?
74% of people believe in heaven and 50%(edit) believe in hell. Once upon a time, in the early days of mankind, people didn’t believe in them. They never even thought or heard of them before. So what changed and made them believe in them and become so emotional and passionate about them today?
