Hey Joesph, in 2 Timothy 3:16 does the greek text use the word "graphe" for scripture? Is that word used anywhere else in the NT? Paul clearly thought his epistles and letters were authorative. I am guessing he never called them scripture due to humilty. What is also interesting is that...

"I guess a lot depends on which scholars you ask. Christian scholars would of couse agree with your statement. Scholars and historians that have studied the Bible without a Christian bias may not agree with your statement" Hey Joesph, Most unbiased scholars (non) Christians agree that...

"The gain was not to Paul or Peter. They never submitted his letters to be formed into a Bible. They showed up hundreds of years later to be formed into a NT by organized religion and if you study history, the churches fought numerous battles to arrive at what they did. They were still split on...

"Your conclusion and assumption of accuracy of prophecies is based on a conclusion that was biased by your starting belief that there was no attempt on the NT writers part or the persons responsible for its inclusion in the Bible to make it agree. So of course it would seem like a logical...

Hey Chris, The only reason I used a link is so I would not have to type them all out and yes I have studied these things and pretty content with context, content, and the conclusion. Have you also truly studied it and came to the conclusion that it is a myth and should be dismissed? Or did...

which it does

or it is true and the prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming messiah are right. Here are a few: 1- The "seed of a woman": Genesis 3:15.... Galatians 4:4.Jesus was born of Virgin Mary without any man involved in His conception (Is.7:14, Mat.1:23, Lk.1:27). - Gen.3:15 And I will put...

Hey Snoopy, What i meant was Judaism goes back to around 4500 BC during Abraham etc. The earliest evidence for the Hindu faith is around 3000 BC. As far as writings actually recovered you might be right, but the roots of Judaism go farther back.

Hey Angel, Christianity stems from Judaism. The Jews were waiting for a messiah in the Old Testament and later Christ came and some Jews believed he was the Messiah. This is were CHristianity stems off meaning it goes back farther then most religions through Judaism. BArny the Owl was...

Gone for 24 hrs and this place blew up! I would like to respond to some previous comments (way back) but want to tackle this first. What is Christianity and what central focal point of it all? Its says in the bible that there will be a day of judgement when all of us will be...

Hey Luna, yes Jesus is refered to many times in the NT as "the word of GOd", but there are many times that the word of God is referred to as the message of God itself...not CHrist. The first verse I gave Jesus was refering to the Old Testament and calling it the word of GOd. The second 2 were...

Hey Liberty, can you give me an example of the contradictions? the bogus history? the bad science and predictions that have not come true? Are you assuming these things or do you have evidence to back them up? Do you understand CHristianity? Its a lot more then a moral guide. I...

The bible was written over a span of 1500 years, over 3 continents,and has more then 40 authors and it is consistent. (try taking 3 professors at te same university studying the same topic...have them write a paper on the same thing and see how consistent they are) It explains the begining of...

Hi Cage, I think if you look throughout scripture you will that the bible does imply that it is the word of GOd. Here are a few examples. Here is Jesus talking of the Old Testament: Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like...

2 Timothy 3:16-17 16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. It says 'inspired by God', and that is something...

Hi Liberty, this is defiantly a better place to have a discussion...Good idea. My reponse would be this: THe comparsion you made is like apples and oranges. The questions of can men interfer with Gods plan and How can Gods word be twisted are 2 different topics that are not dependent of...
