I've got news for you: the Vedas were written by Japhethites, who came well after the Creation.
No internal inconsistencies?? There are two different Creation Accounts in Genesis and Four Different Gospels in the New Testament. The only way you can claim The Bible has no internal inconsistencies is to assume that and then come up with excuses to wave all the inconsistencies away, because they cannot exist by definition. Tell me something... if you assume The Bible has no inconsistenceies, how do you recognize them if you see them?Written by at least 40 men over a period of time exceeding 1400 years, and has no internal inconsistencies.
... and bible is copy righted. Poor Tyndale was burnt for violation of copy rights.Science doesn't come with copyrights.

No, the Bible is right on time --- more accurate than tomorrow's newspaper.
The "Telephone Game" does not apply to the Bible.
Seen circular logic any number of times.The "guarantee" you're looking for is stated within Its pages.
Namely that God doesn't lie, and that He will keep His Words pure and eternal.
I don't know your level of knowledge, but I came up with an equation to show just how accurate the Bible is:
ΔH[sub]Bible[/sub] = 0
What this is simply saying, is that there are no changes in the Bible's [blessed] information over time.
Ain't that too bad?Yea. NT mentions a star at the birth of Jesus. With surprising accuracy and inerrancy, the star cannot be identified.
Circular logic does not bother me.Seen circular logic any number of times.
And then what happened?He lied to Adam that he would die, but he lived for 1000 years!!
You do know what the Bhagavad-Gita is, don't you?ΔH[sub]Gita[/sub] = 0
All that attests to is hi-fidelity in copying.Now a catholic friend told me thaeir are 40,000 versions of Gita. Curiously, all are unchanded.
But Gita exists in ONE and only version. Period.
I have another news. Gosples were written by Hindus. Reason why it has an imprint of Bhagwad Gita.I 've got news for you. The Bible was written long after your supposed creation date. It did not even exist as a complete book until the 4th century. Even today, the different sects of Christianity do not agree which books belong in The Bible and which do not.
Yeah. Bad for inerrancy of bible.Originally Posted by rcscwc
Yea. NT mentions a star at the birth of Jesus. With surprising accuracy and inerrancy, the star cannot be identified.
Ain't that too bad?
Which other way is there. Krishna was born under star Rohini and it is identifiable even today.You mean the star cannot be scientifically identified, right?
Of course it never bothered a xian. Come on, they cannot be bothered with logic itself.Seen circular logic any number of times.
Circular logic does not bother me.
No. Your circularity gives me laffs.Does it bother you?
Being mortal he died. But he died a HUMAN not an automaton he was in Eden.And then what happened?He lied to Adam that he would die, but he lived for 1000 years!!
( He died --- )
Who said it was written? It was revealed. Later penned down. A big difference.And, more importantly, why it was written?
Ha. Talk of being inerrant when you could not even copy faithfully. Some literary feat. No?Now a catholic friend told me thaeir are 40,000 versions of Gita. Curiously, all are unchanded.
All that attests to is hi-fidelity in copying.
Gita has been translated 10,000 times and counting. But they are not versions. The only version is original Sanskrit.Anyone can make a copy of something --- let's see this Gita translated at least six times, over a period of 2000 years --- and still maintain its integrity.
A translation in English, not a version. A bible comes with Version written in its title, Gita does not. None of Gita's translators claim to have a version.But Gita exists in ONE and only version. Period.
Then what is this?
This is from the Occultism & Parapsychology Encyclopedia:Gita has been translated 10,000 times and counting. But they are not versions. The only version is original Sanskrit.
And this is from Wikipedia:Numerous translations of the Gita exist in English (and other Western languages), the different translations reflecting the variant understandings of the deity as personal or impersonal http://www.answers.com/topic/impersonalin Hindu thought. In the Western work, the Vedanta Societies http://www.answers.com/topic/vedanta-societyoffer an impersonalist interpretation of the deity while the International Society of Krishna Consciousness is a major exponent http://www.answers.com/topic/exponentof the personalist approach.
The date and the author of the Gītā is not known with certainty and scholars of an earlier generation opined that it was composed between the 5th and the 2nd century BCE.
I don't mean to give you a hard time, rcscwc, and I apologize for coming on so strongly;
but the fact of the matter is that we serve a risen Savior, Who died on the cross for the sins of all of mankind --- including yours and mine.
And they just happened to give the boot to the Caste System, right?
One day the Caste System is part and parcel of Hinduism, then the next day, it is not?

Yeah. Numerous interpretations. But just ONE version.
