My society is the kingdom of heaven. In a fallen world run by wicked people and demons things that are holy and pure are deemed evil. No news here.In our society it would be rape, and that's not really anything to be proud of.
So you try to equate God's word and the salvation of man to cheap theatre. Whatever.And Aurelius foretold that five will die, and the Anointed One would rise form their ashes, and he would lead the Slayer into Hell. And sure enough, that happened. I saw it happen. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 1, episode 5, "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date." So, that's evidence that Buffy is real.
Lots of ways. So if you see a record preserved by Israel over thousands of years that contain many characters, how do you decide to wave them all away as fiction? If you see fulfilled prophesy such as that Isreal went into captivity 70 years, how do you wave that away as a story? When you hear Jesus healed tens of thousands of people and appeared to over 500 after He rose from the dead, how do you pretend that was not of God? When you read the record of people that knew Him like John and the apostles, how do you make a claim that is not a good true record? If millions of people have their lives changed drastically by Jesus from having read about Him in the bible, how do you claim it is not from God?But when you see some piece of text, how do you tell if it really is God breathed and not just something that you have been told is God breathed?
Those who have tested them disagree. There you are.Yet it doesn't appear such claims can be tested to rule that out, thus here we are.

Are you saying rape is holy? That's an interesting defence!My society is the kingdom of heaven. In a fallen world run by wicked people and demons things that are holy and pure are deemed evil. No news here.

It was proven in the ways already mentioned. Prophecy, miracles, Ressurection, working in people's lives.You are just claiming that it is God's word. I am asking you to prove that it is what you say it is. Because if it isn't, then it's just another story.
Yes, that is done and has been done. In the test tubes of people. You cannot question the record of Scripture. As mentioned, who are you to say Jesus never came or Mary never did what was said?So what?
We can't verify any of that according to you.
Mary had nothing to do with that.Are you saying rape is holy? That's an interesting defence!
Doubts based on nothing do not negate God's word and record.The fact that stories are old does not make them true. The fact that stories have lots of characters does not make them true.
They are detailed.Now, come on,m we've been over this before, haven't we? There are many reasons why we can't trust these old prophecies.
- Prophecies can be vague and interpreted to mean anything.
Scripture was not such a record. Scribes carefully passed down the words.
- Prophecies can be added to older sources AFTER the events that allegedly fulfil them.
Not in Scripture.The events that allegedly fulfill the prophecy may be invented to make it look like the prophecy was fulfilled.
The fact that you doubt for zero reason does not make your doubts worth anything.The fact stories describe amazing events does not make them true.
Not just influenced. Changed completely. Born again.The fact that lots of people are influenced by a story does not make the story true
Sure! Demons spirits can cause effects also.Then why are there so many variations of religion? Can't they get consistent results from their tests? And if they can't get consistent results, how do we know ANY of the results are valid?
You cannot do it with evidence. Doubts have no value.Sure I can. I just did.
So you try to equate God's word and the salvation of man to cheap theatre. Whatever.
I am endeavoring to tell the truth so that readers can have light shed on things. The idea here is not to convince deniers and rejectors. One can only hope God will reach them somehow.To these atheists that's all it is. You're not going to convince them, only a personal experience with God will do that.
