QV please: My Pool ChallengePerson #3's recordings can be false, assuming the truth of the initial statement of 'broke' .. but the only objective truths here, are the state of the table (and the observation of minds at play).
Nope.
Ok .. so in your original post you (the hypothesist) stated an untestable assumption:
.. an unverifiable assumption of 'truth' made by the poser of the hypothetical (aka: you).AV1611VET said:Let's say someone set these balls down this way.
It depends entirely on your initial, unverfiable assumption.AV1611VET said:Later, someone looking at it says, "Nice break."
Was he wrong?
Was ... he ... wrong?It depends entirely on your initial, unverfiable assumption.
See my response.Was ... he ... wrong?
You have a "bird's eye view" ... so to speak ... of what happened.
You have been given enough information to make an objective assessment.
Please do so.
(See why I call these "challenges" now?)
Have a nice day!See my response.
I'll be merciful .. and guess that you missed it.
or; It seems your 'challenges' are aimed at an outcome you desire (.. as opposed to an objective one)?
i) Does that mean you read it?Have a nice day!
From your OP:
Here's the mistake: the second person wrote, not the one who broke.
And he lied at that, causing the third person to go astray.
In your scenario, God is the first person.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The Devil is the second person.
John 8:44b When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The third person is a cult leader.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Then you are making out the Biblical authors to be liars.Secondly, your claim that the Devil is the second person is wrong. In the analogy I presented in my opening post, the second person is the one who wrote the text, and so represents the Biblical authors (whoever they were) and NOT the Devil.
Was Christ educated in how to write things down?Then you are making out the Biblical authors to be liars.
For about the third time, if you want this analogy to be what actually happened according to the Bible, then the one who broke is the one who should have written it down.
Breaking the balls, then just walking off and letting someone else write down what happened is akin to Deism, where God created the universe, then just sat back and let people write about it.
John 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.Was Christ educated in how to write things down?
Is there evidence he ever wrote anything?
What did he write? Was it a drawing or words?John 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
My guess is the Ten Commandments that He wrote for Moses sometime back.What did he write? Was it a drawing or words?
That was God's finger though .. ie: not Christ's.My guess is the Ten Commandments that He wrote for Moses sometime back.
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
.. a doodle maybe? (Ie: not necessarily descriptive language).AV1611VET said:Or maybe the handwriting on the wall He wrote to Belshazzar.
Daniel 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Have a nice day!That was God's finger though .. ie: not Christ's.

Someday, you might explain exactly why you do that .. (I don't have a clue as to why).Have a nice day!
It's my way of saying I don't want to discuss this line of questioning with you (or anyone) anymore, as I think you're trying too hard not to understand and succeeding.Someday, you might explain exactly why you do that .. (I don't have a clue as to why).

But you used a liar to make your point.The point is whether we can accept something as true just because there is some text which claims it happened that way.
Well; 'Thank You', for at least explaining your behaviour. Its better (more polite) to do that, than to just run away ..It's my way of saying I don't want to discuss this line of questioning with you (or anyone) anymore, as I think you're trying too hard not to understand and succeeding.
When someone has to stoop to the level of differentiating Christ from God to try and keep his point going, it's time to stop.
Aren't you the one who said somewhere that you respect other people's beliefs ... or something to that effect?
And didn't I say I was Genghis Khan?
