Go for it.I don't think too many of the creationists would be happy with the results of testing such hypotheses.
The results would be rather obvious. The early books of the Bible would show all of the hallmarks of what one would expect if they were cobbled together from multiple sources, and reality would tell us that much of it is wrong.Go for it.
Then reopen it.Different sects and religions have "closed" the Bible at different times. The Jews closed theirs first, most Christians closed theirs in the second century CE, the Muslims closed theirs later, and Mormons later yet.
Oh ... so now no testing is necessary?The results would be rather obvious.
Why would I want to reopen the Bible? I am in no position to do so. I no longer believe in it, this is a problem that your side needs to address.Then reopen it.
Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle.
What's stopping you?
Or do you (conveniently) cater to different sects now?
I don't.
Oh ... so now no testing is necessary?
All of a sudden you've changed your mind since I called your bluff?
And is it just me, or does anyone else here notice that a conclusion is being drawn before the test?
Isn't that called confirmation bias or something?
Why would I want to reopen the Bible?
Now you are being hypocritical. You asked a question and I answered it. Once again, your Bible is the one with the problem here.Then don't bring up different sects closing It, like it's some kind of point you're making.
Oh, so now we're gonna play Arab phone, are we?And there was no bluff, I merely said that it would be interesting to frame the problem in such a manner. That is why it would be rather a rather useless exercise.
I'm not gonna go back and reopen a point you made, just because you're watering it down now.Now you are being hypocritical. You asked a question and I answered it. Once again, your Bible is the one with the problem here.
I pointed out your errors from the start. Any "arab phoning" is again your fault and not mine. You rudely respond and then don't like the answers when you are slapped down. What exactly do you want answered?I'm not gonna go back and reopen a point you made, just because you're watering it down now.
You're not back-peddling out; you're back-paddling out.
I said I wasn't gonna go back and dig it up.What exactly do you want answered?
I said I wasn't gonna go back and dig it up.
But since I'm a nice guy:
- Do you still support testing the Bible against other sects?
- Why don't rewriters add a 67th, 68th, and 69th book to include Mohammad, Darwin and Linnaeus?
Hi!Do you still pretend that other religions do not make the same claims about their religious texts that you do.
Now you have shown that if anyone "arab phoned" it was you.I said I wasn't gonna go back and dig it up.

Until I do, have a good day, will you?Go back read and reread until you understand or at the very least try to ask intelligent questions about the answer.
I always have a good day. I was merely trying to help you.Until I do, have a good day, will you?
Do you really think that's an accusation worth pursuing?
Please, don't be silly. The fact that I can show that your beliefs are not only errant,but comically wrong only disproves your version of "God". It does not disprove the Christian God at all and is hardly "antichrist".
Wrong. My concern is how certain Christians, and far from most, oppose reality and attempt to harm others through public schools and other venues. And of course I can help you with understanding the Bible. Your main flaw is in assuming that it is literally true. That will almost always lead to false spirituality.Your very basis of discussion on the forum is antichrist. You can't show me anything concerning the bible and spiritual truths without it being perverted by that spirit.
