Except, in order to do it properly, you need to realize that it must be a person(s) specifically chosen of God to translate the Scriptures.
Heck, I wouldn't even mind seeing an accurate Hebrew translation from an atheist as they would surely be unbiased. [unlike Scofield, which someone in another thread mentione as being the "Man of God" I think.] Will have to hunt that up. :wave:

I have a feeling you wouldn't recognize an accurate translation if you held It in your hand, Lamb. This is why I asked if any translation that refuses to use YAHWEH is substandard to you - (and don't think I didn't notice that you didn't answer it).

Aren't all of us male Christians "men of God"? Or are you going after Scofield now? Am I next?

Rubbish. No such persons have ever existed.
None of the scribes in the Old Testament were Spirit-filled men of God? Is that what you're saying?

Of course I'm saying that -- I'm an Atheist, genius.

And certainly, not one of them was "a person(s) specifically chosen of God to translate the Scriptures."

Your attempt to move goalposts = FAIL.

I'm sorry.

This isn't a challenge though.

You have to prove to me that I even have friends in the first place. =)
Not to mention a hand, right? ;)

Oh wait --- I assumed you typed this --- nevermind.

Hi AV. Is this thread along the same premise as your Bicycle challenge?
I wonder if we could get the Mods to move it over to the C&E board. :wave:

My Bicycle Challenge

You buy a deck of cards, open them, and place them on the table; then you go away for an hour. Upon returning, you notice there's a note underneath the deck that reads as follows:
I had to shuffle these.
Looking at the order of the cards, you see that they are in the same order as when you left them an hour ago and no fingerprints anywhere.

Question: Is it possible to conclude that the note is correct?

again; whats the point of these threads?

If you cant disprove/prove something it must be true/false?

Is that REAAALLY something we should be wasting our time thinking about? lol
Well, MPOK, I look at it this way. I see someone demanding evidence of the Creation over and over, and then I issue my Apple Challenge and watch them sweat for a change.

I could sit here until the Rapture and say over and over and over, "There's no evidence for the Creation," but to put the ball in their court helps them to remember it better.

What's that old saying?

I am sure the atheists hope it will happen soon so they will not have to be tormented with these threads any longer ^_^
But I remain behind to keep 'em going for ya..........

A new "after the Rapture" email service has been launched....... It employs a "dead man's switch" to automatically send the Emails after the Rapture of the Church....

I got ur back bro :thumbsup:

http://www.scripture4all.org/


Matthew 20:19 And they shall be betraying Him to the nations into the to-mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and to the third day he shall be be resurrecting [Mark 10:34]

1 Corinthians 10:7 No-yet idolaters be ye becoming! as according to some of them. So it has been written; 'Is being seated the people to be eating and to be drinking and they stand-up to mock'

I'm going to write my own little "holy scripture" and watch you follow it.

"Life as we know it was created ten minutes ago, everyone having their memories pre-embedded, by giant cats with forked tails. They covered up all the evidence to make it look just like everything had occurred naturally, while in reality, it was all their doing. I prophecy that no-one will believe this; they are fools, and in disbelieving they are only fulfilling the prophecy, pointing toward the truth of this paragraph."

Whatcha gonna do?

Rubbish. Why is it that a fully formed apple wouldn't work if it was one minute old isntead a few hours?



And yet, when you respond to me with posts like THIS ONE, you don't call that childish?

AV, you are going to respond to this, aren't you?

I doubt anyones sweating over this. =)


So, you are honestly telling me that theres not point to the apple challenge?

Ok; if theres an apple in my hand; and my friends know its there by some faculty of perception other than 'just a feeling'; then, I don't have to convince anyone of anything before I realize I'm going to get hungry eventually, and either have to put the apple down and find something to eat, or eat the apple.

Just bc one doesnt believe in literal creationism doesn't mean one will go to hell.

Now, convince me that I am going to hell bc I see creationism as a metaphor, with cohesive arguments without scripture related logic.

thats a much better challenge.
