The Historical Reliability of the New Testament
#35
RE: The Historical Reliability of the New Testament
(May 14, 2015 at 5:54 pm)polar bear Wrote: simply put to this point.  If I have the original Superman 1. comic book, it IS the most accurate comic book.  What you have proved is exactly the same thing.

Having Superman #1 is helpful if you need to compare subsequent issues to the storyline it contains. If DC said that Superman was from Krypton in #1 and from a different planet is a later issue, then you know there is a problem.

But suppose that you made hand-drawn copies of #1 for all of your friends just before losing your original #1 in tragic bird cage lining accident...You would still be able to know with certainty that Superman is from Krypton by checking those copies. etc, etc.

Quote:About the gospels, perhaps you will address this later.  All four are the accounts of jesus' life and death.  All of them "quote" jesus.  None of the "quotes" are the same as others.  Why didn't jesus/god write his own book of "quotes" it would have cleared up a lot of confusion...oh wait...it is in your best interest to keep your believers confused.

God did write His own book...you just don't like the method He used or the results He obtained. Tongue

Quote:By reading your OP I get the feeling you like to hear yourself talk.  Take a breath and ask yourself, do others like to hear you talk as much as YOU do?

Depends on the audience, I suppose.
