It depends upon how and where you studied. If you can't see the countless flaws in the Bible I would have to say that your education was lacking.Thanks.
please excuse my inquisitive nature.
How does one equate to being well studied. I have studied Christianity for a long time (20 years now). No theologian
Im an amateur
Does this make me well studied?
Or do i need a degree?
Cheers

Cheers
How do i study something to be seen as credible?
You have to drop your obvious prejudices for one.
Yes, but then one everyone has prejudices. I may disagree with how far he goes, but it does not seem to affect his scientific work.Does not aron ra have prejudices. You said he is an anti theist?
Cheers
This page does not make me tremble. It seems luke warm.
How bout you give me an instance?
Or
Got anything else?
Cheers

Tell me, why would the Bible being full of flaws make you tremble?
And no, it is too late at night to pick out specific cases for you. But I will name one that is surely in there, but I am not quoting it. Luke had Jesus born at two different dates, ten years apart.
Our debate followed a pretty predictable pattern. He would elaborate on some pretty interesting things and then he would go ballistic, it never changed. His analysis of certain fossils was fascinating but he acted like he never heard of Charles Darwin. He caught me flat footed when I mentioned that Mendel had written Darwin, something I heard on NPR. When he challenged me to produce the source material he started calling me a hypocrite. I later found out that all that's left of the letter is a fragment, kept somewhere in a museum. At the time I was dumbfounded by his reaction and to this day wonder what he got so exercised about.Yes, he can be a bit harsh at times. He is an anti-theist. That is an atheist that declares all gods to be impossible. He also has little patience with dishonesty.
You let your prejudices affect you far more than he allows his to affect him. Look at how you won't face up to the fact that the Bible is far from perfect.But my prejudice effects my position?
How is he better than us plebs?
Cheers
Really? You claimed to have studied the Bible. The nativity. Herod died in roughly 4 BCE. The only possible census that supposedly made Joseph go to Bethlehem was the Census of Quirinius. That was in 6 CE:I was referring to the page you linked.
In relation to luke. Could you supply the verses which seem to contradict?

census of quirinius - Google Search
How do i let my prejudices effect me more so?
You wont supply me instances. So until then i will keep my view on the subject.
show me something brother.
Do you need the verses? They are in the book of Luke. He used the false excuse that a census required Joseph to go to his ancestral home. Of course censuses never require that to start with. The author of Luke failed there. That is counterproductive. In Luke 2 he tells how Quirnius ordered a census. The date of that is well known. It was in the year 6 CE:I want this discussion to continue, so i ask you to supply references for statements you make.
So how did you come to this conclusion. 'Show me the verses' haha, tom cruise
Ps
Im using the Socratic merhod. Question things right?
Im questioning you friend
I would like to discuss specific instances with you if I may. I would like to ask first however, do you believe in a literal, inerrant Bible? If yes, fine we'll go from there. If not, could you state how you interpret the Bible?I am a construction worker.
