Archaeology: Jericho Found!!

[Larniavc]

This just in... New York city exists!

Wait a minute!

Spider-Man is real?!?

 

[Larniavc]

Hey! That must mean that Spiderman exists.

Ninja'd!

As an example of how some people whom you claim don't exist think?

Please try to pay attention. You linked a source that had a black and white view. That implied a tacit support of that view. You are conflating two different conversations.

 

[Larniavc]

New York City's existence has never been in doubt.

I asked him/her the same question about the Cambrian Explosion thread.

The answer was because this is a Christian forum.

I didn't accuse you personally of saying that the entire Bible is wrong. As for your experience with people at this website, that is your personal experience as opposed to mine.

Possibly you could direct these posts toward particular individuals, but better yet would be to craft posts that are appropriate for the audience that actually exists here.

 

[Cearbhall]

Perhaps because you don't come across too many people who claim that the Bible doesn't contain actual historical facts but is mostly worthless myth? There are even ignorant folks out there who are asking whether the entire Bible should be taken literally or symbolically.

What are you even going on about? Jericho exists and has existed for more than 10,000 years. There's no question about that. No one would say "The Bible says this city exists, therefore it MUST be FICTION!!!"

So I guess you aren't aware of the profundity of biblical ignorance that exists.

You speak as if it's one single text and that it's either all true or completely false. That's pretty darn ignorant. No one is claiming that every single word is a load of hooey. Pointing out that Jericho exists has no effect on anything else. What a crazy straw man.

There is no straw man.
I have come across people on this forum asking whether the Bible should be taken as myth or fact.That you refuse to believe it despite my posting a link to an article that acknowledges that some people do hold that view comes across as unnecessary droning. One poster responded on this thread that he finds the video informative. You keep repeating the same thing over and over. I understood you the first time. Why not add something new?

Radrook, why are you doing this?

Comfort.

I really don't think there's anyone who claims that every single thing in the Bible is 100% false.

Otherwise you would have people denying the existence of whales since they're mentioned in the Bible.

Obviously.

Oh you mean make videos that please atheists and agnostics in order to avoid goading?
I will give that serious consideration.
Thanks for the advice.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Instead of goading, why don't you address the content of the video in some meaningful way?

My bad - I should have quoted the title of the thread. I generally don't watch videos without some explanation of the arguments or points they supposedly support.

Perhaps if you actually made your argument or point ?

Perhaps I am expecting you to perceive the points after watching the video.

My impression is that you simply want to goad.

If you make your argument, I'll consider it.

 

[Radrook]

If you make your argument, I'll consider it.

I posted the video for the edification of fellow Christians on this forum. Do you have an argument against its content? If so state it and we can discuss it.

No. As we've already said, no one here has denied or is denying the existence of Jericho.

As I said, goading is against forum rules.

I understood your reasoning the first time you accused me of this, even if I didn't agree, but now I'm wondering if you even know what that word means. This makes absolutely no sense.

I'll wait for your argument. If just posting a video without comment is what passes for a thread now, I can wait for someone with something to say.

From what we've seen of the responses you've gotten so far, the saying holds true: "Where there's a light, there's bugs". Evidence of biblical truth will always attract those who want to cast doubt upon it.

Well, we live in a world governed by Satan the Devil so what can you expect? He becomes infuriated whenever the light of truth shines and will use his minions like puppets as he did the serpent in Eden.
