  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

White man speak with forked tongue. First you say it is not obvious then you say it is obvious. The people we are talking about are the very first food producers. Science has puts lots and lots of study into this. All of the information and research even in the last 10 years will verify the bible is accurate and true. I give you tons and tons of rock solid scientific evidence showing you the Bible is true. What do you give me to substantiate your claims the Bible is not true? You got zip zero nothing.

That's hilarious.

Of course it does have everything with you not understanding what ToE actually. Don't be absurd.

For well over 100 years people have been coming up with rock solid scientific evidence to support the Bible. We continue to allow science to verify that the bible is accurate and true.
Nada. The Exodus story is complete fiction. Not one shred of evidence to support it. A "King David" never existed, as his mighty kingdom went casually unnoticed by every country during that time. Shall I go on?

BTW, did you answer if Jesus was born before (Matthew) or after (Luke) Herod the Great died?

bishop usher uses the year 4004 for adam. If 1000 years is a day then Jesus would be born in around 4 bc.

You seem to be missing the point.

Luke has Jesus being born AFTER the death of Herod the Great.
Matthew has Jesus being born BEFORE the death of Herod the Great.

This is a contradiction that cannot be equivocated away.

What verse are you referring to?
He Is referring to the dating of jesus's birth in reference to quirinius who was governer of syria in 6 - 9 ce after the death of herod. In order to resolve this christians say he was governer before this, but there is zero historical evidence to support this.

Have you been sluming it at skeptic dot com? Is that where real men of science go for truth?
Nope. I actually read books. What's your excuse for not knowing the discrepancies of your own bible?

BTW, you still haven't answered my question.

Lk. 2:1-3 Jesus born during a census, that, according to Josephus, occurred after Herod the Great died.

Mt. 2:1-3 Jesus born during time of Herod the Great.
From Adam Clarke's Commentary:
It is probable that the reason why this enrolment, or census, is said to have been throughout the whole Jewish nation, was to distinguish it from that partial one, made ten years after, mentioned Ac 5:37, which does not appear to have extended beyond the estates of Archelaus, and which gave birth to the insurrection excited by Judas of Galilee. See Josephus, Ant. book xx. c. 3.

Acts 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

No for 100 years religious people have been cherry picking scientific evidence to suit their beliefs, whilst ignoring all evidence that contradicts.
