Look what I found:

It's more of a GOOD POINT thread that I use to QV people to when they need to be reminded that they aren't half as knowledgeable about what isn't in this universe as they think they are.

And you're not one-tenth as knowledgable about what is in this universe as you think you are.

And considering that you proudly wave your ignorance like a banner, that would make what you actually do know quite infinitesimal.

"This meeting will address these issues from both theoretical and observational perspectives, with an emphasis on how we can resolve them. "


Imagine that...



how about this:

"Here you can explore more than thirty unsolved mysteries about various people and events described the bible."

UNSOLVED?

MYSTERIES?

BIBLE?

Clearly, we should not trust the bible if there are more than thirty UNSOLVED MYSTERIES about it!!!!

I'm sure these "mysteries" exist only in the mind of the author of that site.

If you want to get technical, why not throw in a few thousand more "mysteries"?

Such as: What color was Jesus' eyes?

The truth of the matter, is that the Bible internally recognizes 12 legitimate mysteries:

1. The mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven --- (Matthew 13:11).
2. The mystery of the Jewish blindness --- (Romans 11:25).
3. The mystery of the 'Rapture' --- (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
4. The mystery of the Church --- (Ephesians 3:1-11).
5. The mystery of the Church as the Bride of Christ --- (Ephesians 5:25,32).
6. The mystery of the Gospel --- (Ephesians 6:19).
7. The mystery of Christ in the believer --- (Colossians 1:27).
8. The mystery of God in Christ --- (Colossians 2:2,9).
9. The mystery of godliness --- (1 Timothy 3:16).
10. The mystery of iniquity --- (2 Thessalonians 2:7).
11. The mystery of the seven stars --- (Revelation 1:20).
12. The mystery of Babylon --- (Revelation 17:5,7).

The mystery of the Gospel: Why did the writers (NOT Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) wait thirty to sixty years to document the life and works of Jesus?

Hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

How do you know they waited that long?

Luke says they submitted all their writings to him for correlation.

Suppose someone wrote these things in real time, and it went the way of the Periodic Table?

The only thing that made it through to today with ∆H[sub]Scriptures[/sub] = 0 accuracy is what God, Himself preserved.

 

[LifeToTheFullest!]

When Jesus didn't return, they scrambled to get his story down. And no, they are the gospels according to, not by them.

How else do you account for all the discrepencies?

That's hardly a mystery, if he existed, and he was Middle Eastern, then his eyes would've been brown...

Nope, sorry.

A WEBSITE claims that there are UNSOLVED MYSTERIES in the BIBLE, therefore, it is unreliable.


You cannot have it both ways.

What's unreliable --- the website or the Bible?

I'm not sure what you're saying here.

I'm sure the Bible is full of mysteries to those who have self-imposed mental blocks.

Sometimes when you see a post where someone says, "I don't understand why God would..." --- you will also see the reason they don't understand in the same post.

 

[LifeToTheFullest!]

The Bible is unreliable. You need not look further than the gospels as evidence for that.

The "Gospels According to..." says it all.

What are the "synoptic" gospels, and why? Which gospel is the "maverick," and why?

The emergence of the N.T. is not as nice and tidy as most christians believe it to be.

Does the Bible make any attempt to answer those "mysteries," or are we all supposed to stand there slack-jawed in awe going "ooooOOOOooooo..."

Actually, I am -- 1/10 of 0 is .0

 

[JustMeSee]

Five months to answer? Wow!

Nice to know you know nothing about what is in the universe. Anything else with a brain and a single sense (hearing, seeing, touch, etc.) or self awareness has you beat using your own words.

I think you underrated yourself. You are knowledgeable about things in the universe, even if you write that you are not.

 

[AV1611VET]

I know the earth is geocentric with regards to the earth-moon system.

Which is false.

Well it some times it takes people a while to figure out an answer, even if it isn't an answer.

 

[Split Rock]

Did you get that from scripture? If so, they you must also have gotten the false idea that the Earth is immoble and the center of the universe from The Bible as well. funny that the author God, got that wrong in scripture, huh?

 

[AV1611VET]

Did you get that from scripture?

No -- from science.

If so, they you must also have gotten the false idea that the Earth is immoble and the center of the universe from The Bible as well.

Nope -- you might have.

I'm sure a member of the clergy tried to explain it to you, but when you rejected him, you evidently threw the baby out with the bathwater -- and now you don't understand.

Are we supposed to be unmovable as well?

1Co 15:58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

... funny that the author God, got that wrong in scripture, huh?

Nope -- those who have it wrong are those who don't understand, and those who don't understand are usually those who rejected it when they first heard it.

 

[Split Rock]

I never had an issue with clergy telling me something ridiculous, like the waters of the flood went to Neptune to scare off angels. So, no, that was never an issue with them.

1Co 15:58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

That passage shows itself that it does not mean we con't move... "be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.." Context, AVET... Context. Now show me how the Context of the following lines from scripture show they do not reference an unmoving earth. If you have a case, you will convince me:

1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable."
Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ..."
Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ..."
Psalm 104:5: "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."
Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast..."

Nope -- those who have it wrong are those who don't understand, and those who don't understand are usually those who rejected it when they first heard it.

Nonsense. You still are soooooo sure about yourself and your falsified pet paradigms, that you still think you understand me.... in reality you still do not.

 

[AV1611VET]

What flood?

Did your clergy tell you the flood was local?

In any event, all I see you doing is asking questions so you can have something else to reject -- not to learn.
