...it's not on them now? As atheists have correctly said, the burden of proof is on yall. Paul went around preaching, and obviously people said to prove it, and sometimes he did miracles. All the apostles supposently did the same thing. Hence the reason people back then believe, as it is written that is.


Fast forward 2k years, and Christians are preaching or whatever, just like Paul did I guess, but NO proof like Paul.

So why dont' Christians see that the burden of proof is STILL on them like it was in the 1st century? Heck, Jesus even said to believe the things I did to prove me, or something to that nature. So even He knew the burden of proof was on him.
and his exact words were, though the book of John is generally agreed to have come about later on.
John 10:37-38 (King James Version)

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


So Christians today don't see that you have to have works, but they don't, only words, and even the apostles and Jesus didn't just have words.
 
Because they have nothing and have to twist things to suit their cult beliefs

P.S. Note 'top reporter'
 
If present day Christians are just echoing what Paul said then and Paul had proven his statements, them there is no need for continuing proofs.
 
Burden of proof to whom? The only righteous judgment we have to be concerned about is God's judgment. You are not God. So, you really don't have much of a moral standing here.
 
A lot of modern Christians erroneously believe 'faith' is completely separate from science or logic. This is altogether unhelpful, obviously, and gives no credibility to that faith. They simply don't know how to defend their faith against massive competitive ideologies, like evolution, so they try to avoid having to by separating them.

Not all Christians are this complacent and counterproductive though. Some (such as those working at the organisation behind the website 'creation.com') see the distinct need for logical defense.
