Stu, I respect your tenacity, I really do.......but you render a dis-service to your argument when bias overcomes fact. When it comes to faith in Christ, I admit I am a polite zealot. I believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, hook, line and sinker. I enjoy reading and collecting works of...

I thought you said "jew is the new black"

I am short on time, but yes, it is a minority text, and a unreliable one at that. For example, take Luke 24:51 in all of the available witnesses, the words "..and carried up into heaven..." are in the following : B, C, E, F, G, H, L, S, T, V, Y, Z, Delta, Theta, Psi, Omega and papyrus p75...

Ahh, yes.....Now we are down to the dreaded "most scholars" invocation :) Let us now consider the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, whose writings have filled the second century. [For brevity's' sake, I will not mention all of them, as I am sure this will be disregarded anyway ] 1)...

Sorry, the minority texts you reference are not the "oldest", [u]Tatian's Diateserian[u], which harmonized the four Gospels was written around 150 A.D. thereby predating your examples.

I guess it would depend on who is damning what facts. Leaving the witness of the writings of the early church fathers aside, the Peschito was translated from the Greek around 150 A.D. and the Old Latin Vulgate around 157 A.D. Since these were translations, there was obviously a working...

Your above statement is incorrect. The historical evidence is easily observable.

Good advise...felt the need to expand your statement :)

Good morning vhehn, Is your judgement of G-D , based upon a study of the Biblical record and the history of redemption contained therein, or would it possibly be based upon the actions, non-actions and hypocrisy of some individuals and organizations that name the name of Christ ? Thank You

OK, let me try my argument another way..... Help me out by answering these two questions, based upon your remarks: 1) What is the one, and one only, main reason for your assumption that G-D is cruel ? 2) Is there anything in your world view that is worthy of worship ? Thank You

Well, vhehn, this is not one of your better rebuttals, if I may say so. Living near a freeway, is of course, a man-made construct. Regarding the creation, these type of dangers were not present, in Adams' placement in Eden. "...The fact that the creature can fall away from God and...

I must admit, that is funny.............

Good morning TraderZones, You bring up an interesting point regarding what we call science. If G-D created the heavens and the earth, the power of that act is somewhat unthinkable, at least for me. He could have designed His creation in an infinite amount of ways, I would think. The...

Good morning, I appreciate the direct response. If I may, I would break my remarks into two parts. The first part will be allegorical, the second doctrinal. [ caveat= I am not endeavoring to debate / argue you or anyone into "submission" ! I am merely defining the basis and understanding...

I am at the plate, what is it you want to argue about ?

theory = an exposition of the abstract principles of a science or art considered apart from practise; hypothesis; philosophical explanation of moral or physical phenomena. faith = belief; trust in the honesty and truth of another; the assent of the mind to Divine revelation; unshaken...

Really ? How about 1 millionth of a second prior

Come know, you are just being redickuloose.

This is the problem when an individual man, whether it be MLK, George Washington, Abe Lincoln or Angus, is honored specifically. No man is worthy. If we need paid holidays, then group days such as Veterans, Memorial, Labor, etc., is the only way to go. A Civil Rights "day" would have been...

I can read the first hand accounts of your above referenced historical events, and rest easy that those are historical facts... When we start trying to pin the "fact" on something that some modern era theorist states happened millions and billions of years ago, well, it smells like "faith" to me.
