“No one is "mocking" the Bible. We may be mocking your ignorant understanding of it.
Are you trained in ancient Near Eastern literature ?
You don't chose to believe anything. You were TOLD what to believe and you swallowed it.
Faith is a gift, in your cult.
It's not a choice. One does not get to chose what is reality.
THESE are the BEST archaeologist in Israel.
They would have a vested interest in the Bible being literally true.
It isn't. None of it.
Thanks for the little sermonette. Another troll, not posting honestly in this thread.
You do realize that a "god creating" is meaningless. Creating is an action process which requires time. There was no time (yet).
Therefore you cannot use a verb with a temporal meaning. Try again, and next time actually THINK about what you're saying. “
Well, first, how can you confidently assert that any belief of the Bible is “your ignorant understanding of it.” Yes, this might be true - but it might also be totally wrong. Where does the empirical evidence lead? I do very much like empirical as far as it can be validated.
Do I need to be trained in Elizabethan literature to enjoy Shakespeare of the King James Version of the Bible? No? - so, relationally, I say that I do not need training in ancient Near Eastern literature to understand, & process what is said here in the gist of what is revealed by such studies. But, most importantly - PLEASE show me where these stdies have proved the Bible to be wrong.
Also, in relation to ancient Near Eastern literature & archeology - please answer this question. How many have went from a Christian to an anti-Christian-Biblical bias after delving into this particular of scholarship? I would like a very few name is you could provide them. I can provide the opposite. Are you ready to swap cards?
Hah - as for your presumption “You were TOLD what to believe and you swallowed it.” I was not quite such a “swallower” that you may presume.
My 8th grade teacher (religious school) said of & to me “if you do not end up in prison they might as well tell teat them down.”
Went to catholic high school - was expelled for desecrating the church when the blessed sacrament was exposed the church in my senior year of high school.
Was suspended from college (not religious) so that I would (hopefully) be drafted & killed in Vietnam, this is a statement from the dean of students.
This is a simplicity of my “track record.” None who know me would say I am an easy believer.
As for archeologists - I can refer some of the most prominent who have found the Bible to be accurate beyond any secular source. Actually, some were initally ardent anti-Biblical researchers whose main task was to disprove the Bible. What happened - they came to become believers because of the veracity of the historical evidences found first in the bible. But, I assume you have no knowledge of these actualities.
I do marvel at this wisdom of yours - “that a "god creating" is meaningless. Creating is an action process which requires time. There was no time (yet).”
Duh - what does the Bible say? Acts 17:28 “for in Him we live and move and exist,...” Do I understand this; yes & no. I know what it says - but the incomprehensibility of such a God - this I can’t fathom.
