Re: The Authencity of the Bible.

OK, lets try a different tact. Do you believe that the bible is all true? If so, there's much to answer for in the OT (murder, slaves, incest, yadda yadda). If not, then doesn't that cast a huge shadow of doubt on the authenticity of Jesus/god? BTW I've read Strobel and the crew. They offer no cred...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.

Shulgin, the Bible does not say the world is 6,000 years old. This very website is founded on that principal. If this was one of your stumbling blocks to seeing the truth it's just been removed. Like FFC suggested, why don't you look at the evidence presented by the very people who made it their mi...

Thanks Byblos!

Re: Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible

Byblos, Any shred of evidence would be nice. Perhaps a bible that was actually, truly, really written by god and not his fallible followers on earth. Real evidence for the divine nature of Jesus outside of the bible would be nice. C'mon now Byblos, use your imagination as to what kind of evidence o...

Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie

At the end of the movie Richard Dawkins was interviewed. It seemed like he couldn't even justify his arguments for God's non-existence. Ben Stein asked him what the probablity was that God didn't exist and Dawkins responded with a 99.9% probability, but it seemed like he didn't know how to defend t...

Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie

It may be chemical reactions, but we believe God made those chemical reactions. He is the creator and source of all things, whether it's your digestive system or altruistic behavior. Get that from the bible did ya? So you take the creation story literally? So god sat down at his drawing board and d...

Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie

Oh Boy, The comments are typical of what I would have expected. The bottom line is that its not only the evolutionists that have a hard time explaining things, such as altruistic love, so do theologists. The evolutionists tho mostly progress based on fact and experimentation. With that in mind its v...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.

Byblos, Again, the evidence is solely in the bible, a dubious document to be sure. You use intellectually honest in your note. Do you think proof is in a document written 2000 years ago that is certainly not directly from the mouth of god. I think to be intellectually honest you have to eliminate fa...

Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie

Gman, What in the heck are you talking about??!! You have to believe in a god to love? That's absurd. Of course you are made of chemical reactions, how else do you think you survive. Try not eating and see how long your chemical reactions continue. Are you trying to say that you don't need your chem...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.

The Bible and much reliable church history indicates that 11 of the 12 disciples of Jesus died violent martyrs deaths, several of them, might have avoided it by recanting or denying Christ. Why do you think these men would die for a novel or fiction, given that they were with Christ and better posi...

Re: Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible

I was raised as a catholic and taught the bible is 'god-breathed' and infallible. I am curious, do you believe everything in the bible? Is it all true? I used to think that until I started reading it as a historical document rather than a religious tome and I feel quite differently now. It was obvio...
