[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ lots of words, no actual evidence whatsoever.

All presuppositional that a god exists.

The Bible is not evidence that the Bible is true.  Not how logic works.

As for your lake of fire threat:  You are a very bad person to wish such a thing on another human being.  Despicable, actually.  Hitler level horrible.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Fortunately, there is zero evidence such a thing exists.

Fail, fail, and fail again.[/quote]And you presuppose there is no God.

The Bible is an accurate, historical record and contains eye-witness accounts of events. Archeology has even proven things in the Bible to be true.

I never said that I wish you to burn. I take no pleasure in that. The Bible is clear about unbelievers like you:

[i]And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.[/i] — Revelation 20:15

Your name is written in the book of life when you repent of your sins and believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God who takes away sin.

You are very much like a hard headed, insufferable man on Freethought Blogs. He went by the name NerdOfRedhead.

I pitied that man, bitter, eyes closed, fingers in his ears repeating over and over mindlessly, “No evidence! No God! Nyah-nyah I can’t hear you!”

Sir, take your fingers out of your ears and open your eyes to see the truth. But maybe this applies to you, a reprobate:

[i]That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.[/i] —Mark 4:12

I pray that you will see before it is too late.

[i] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.[/i]
 —Peter 3:9

DP here. I see the resident Bible thumping idiot is back.

Your inability to think blows my mind. For example, "The Bible is an accurate, historical record and contains eye-witness accounts of events. Archeology has even proven things in the Bible to be true." So, using this reasoning, the fact that archeologists have found evidence of the Troy, does this make all the The Odyssey true? Especially things like the Cyclops, after all, the Bible had giants in it.

[/quote]Here is where your presuppositional bias shows.

You make a categorical error when you equate the Bible with a work of fiction like the Odyssey (which I read in High School).

The Bible is absolutely 100% true: the Origin of the Species described in Genesis, the genealogies of Noah’s sons and the Israelites; the prophets, wisdom in Proverbs, and eye-witness accounts of wars and the healing miracles of Jesus.

There were indeed giants, as there are giants today, people over 7’ tall.

Archeology does not prove the Odyssey as a true account, only that the story writer, as they do today, drew upon real places to tell a story.

The Bible is not fiction, but truth, and archeology supports the genealogies and places mentioned in the Bible.

Now, Jesus does teach in parables, stories of fictional people like in the Good Samaritan to teach a moral or a lesson.

My authority is Jesus, the son of God. Your authority is the babblings of vain men, some whose brains were addled by opium like Darwin I am convinced was, or Karl Marx an immoral reprobate and thoroughly evil and repugnant man.
