    If the Bible contains much that is unreliable, what should we do about it?

    If the Bible contains much that is unreliable, what should we do about it?

    Thanks for the explanation, but unfortunately I still don't see how the above approach is commendable, because you haven't really DEFINED what you mean by faith... You're saying that the "most simple principles" cannot be understood in any way except this "faith" method, but to me that just...

    If the Bible contains much that is unreliable, what should we do about it?

    In other words, you DON'T BOTHER asking the questions beamishboy is investigating in the first place. Problem solved, huh? For clarity, perhaps you would define this "spiritual/faith" approach that is supposedly a viable alternative to an "academic" method? To me, the difference is clear...

    If the Bible contains much that is unreliable, what should we do about it?

    I'm doing fine, just building up to my finals exams of my History degree! Glad to see you're still questioning things - I think an important question to ask yourself is: am I looking into it because I WANT it to be true, or am l looking into it to SEE if it IS true. I would say most people who...

    If the Bible contains much that is unreliable, what should we do about it?

    Greetings again beamishboy, I think what Drich is trying to say is that "faith" should not be based on rational thought and enquiry, but "emotional" (or "spiritual") grounds instead. This conforms with a conclusion I have been reaching recently - the vast majority of religious people are not...

    Chariot Wheels Found On The Bottom Of The Red Sea - The Exodus REALLY HAPPENED

    Like so many other examples, you are adding your own angle to this to make it fit! The prophecy doesn't say "in the century with more deaths in war than any other", you are simply making circumstances fit your feeble prophecy. Wars have been constant throughout human history - how is it...

    Chariot Wheels Found On The Bottom Of The Red Sea - The Exodus REALLY HAPPENED

    If you are convinced by those ridiculous 11 points, I'm not at all surprised that you also consider this "chariot wheel" to be Exodus evidence.

    Vices are like pet snakes

    Certainly a nice analogy.

    Hell what is it ? Howe dose it look like ?

    To expand on the "what is it?" question... WHERE is Hell? (or Heaven for that matter) WHERE is it?

    Jesus References Not In The Bible

    The Tacitus reference nevertheless achieves very little, other than establishing that he was aware that Christians existed in his time, who were followers of someone called "Christus". Neither this or other sources like Josephus and Pliny grant us any information on Jesus that could not simply...

    Chariot Wheels Found On The Bottom Of The Red Sea - The Exodus REALLY HAPPENED

    All of the above achieves nothing more than saying that various perfectly mundane issues can be supported in the Bible. Big Deal. We are talking about the Exodus and the Red Sea Crossing - where is the extra-Biblical information? This chariot wheel???? Give me a break. More importantly, I...

    Chariot Wheels Found On The Bottom Of The Red Sea - The Exodus REALLY HAPPENED

    No, you did not. Far from it. We know next to nothing about 'Jesus' from extra-biblical sources, and the Gospels themselves are hardly very illuminating about Jesus the man. I am not going down the route of saying "Jesus never existed", because I think it's totally possible, and probably likely...

    Tell you what mate, how about I discard every single point you make about "history" until you elaborate on this ridiculous comment: Good luck.

    Baby mammoth reveals ancient secrets?

    Considering that the planet is 4.5 billion years old, and that Homo Sapiens are at least 100,000 years old (by a very conservative estimate)... of course it COULD. More importantly, it IS. It is not like scientists just invented the number 37,000 - this will have been based on dating...
