where is verse 24 in all of this?

How many times do I have to say verse 24 before you read verse 24?

Are you scared of verse 24 because you know it will change everything?

how about this just read the first word of verse 24!

what is that word?

Seriously you tell me what is the first word in vers 24?

Let me help you:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=ERV

Now I'm serious... You next post should only have one word in it. a one word post. that word should be the first word in vers 24. if you did not know The above link is to luke 1 verse 24 only. Just click on that link and write down letter for letter the first word of verse 24...

Now after you do that I am going to ask for a definition of that first word of verse 24. So if you want go a head in the next post write that word in verse 24 and in a second seperate post give me the defination ok?

So next post you make to me is only one word

That word can be found in the link above that goes to luke 1:24

And once you have written that word out letter by letter post it to the thread. then if you want to go one more step ahead you may define or cut and paste the defination of the first word in verse 24, but again only in a second post.

Do you got it? next post one word first word of verse 24

then provide a link of the majority believer scholars who think _______

Okay, we're making progress here.  When was John the Baptist born?

then provide a link of the majority believer scholars who think _______

Drich, that -is- what you've been getting.  The majority of new testament scholars are protestant christians educated at religious colleges.  It's the one bit of academia that, like so much of the NT, is full of anachronism.

I ask for names quotations papers proof of statement and all you give me is "scholars on your side believe." Horse shite. I have studied with "scholars on my side" why or how do you think it is I can break all of your silly paradoxes? So when a fake statement like scholars on my side believe what atheists do. I simply ask for proof. Proof you have yet demonstrated or delivered. All I have is your word which means nothing without the corresponding proof.

So if you are going to stand on that hill, get to getting me some proof, or I will just ignore you till you have something different to say or can back up your statments. again your word means nothing as you have been caught several time saying anything to change the direction of an argument.

You imagine that you're defending christian mythology from the atheist hordes.....

In this instance I am defending luke one in relation to the birth of christ in luke 2 from 2 specific atheists who are intellectually being very dishonest, demanding of me things they when asked will not provide. one specifically knows she has been bested but refuses to conceed hopping i will simply give up. But I know I have her by the toe and she can't go anywhere else. That is what I imagine.

In truth, the overwhelming majority of the scholars who's consensus you selectively value..are believers.  Those are the people teling you, with receipts, that you're full of shit.

so you are telling me these scholars do not have verse 24 in their bibles? because again a simply reading resolves all conflict. chapter 1 verse 1 through 23 happened in the time of Herod. then something happens in verse 24 that pushes the time line to the rule of quintius. No special book no inside knoweledge needed just a 4th grade reading level and this whole thread comes apart at the seems, but you one who has not even read the passage in question, but only commentary seems to think all scholars on both side of faith also skipped verse 24? again show me you lying douche. If verse 24 has language to push the time line back then what would a believer claim a contradiction here?

So again So me a legit bible theologian who believes as you do.. not a but as you said demonstrate most think as you do.

Personally, I doubt that any amount of scholarship could help to dissuade you of your silly inerrantist views regarding the content and construction of magic book...

now ask youeself why, beside the obvious (your biblical aqueity is little more than a joke because it is clear you yourself have not even read this passage let alone studied it , but all that aside why could you not convince me to accept your reading? Because again the very first word in verse 24 chapter 1 reconciles everything in plain english.

So again chapter one verse one to verse 23 happens in the time of herod but in verse 24 it simply says later, which pushes the time line back to the regime of quintius. why would a biblical scholar have a problem deciphering the meaning of this passage?

but it would be nice to see you come to some sort of grip with reality on the nature of the people and positions you disagree with.  You're not any kind of defender or teacher of the faith,

As I am not a faith believer. do you not get it? when you know or see God for yourself no faith is needed. so you are right I do not teach faith I teach relationship with God in direct opposition to faith believers. which is why I am not ticking the boxes you think I should tick as a teacher.

just another uneducated sectarian twat disagreeing with his fellow christers over the most meaningless of things. [quote] so me one who believes in christ but believes as you do here, then allow me to simply show him the benfit of reading the passage himself and let see which side of the road mine or your he will stand on.

 They have a faith that allows them to see magic book for what it is and was and still believe.  Do you?

again the book isn't a book it is a map to God. follow the map find God. that is the book primary purpose. using it any other way will have you see faults that are not there, because the faul is in the use not the execution.

That said no where ever have I claim the bible to be without error. However This luke 1 business is not an error. I have no reason to believe the bible is without error as it never claimed to be without error. it only states God is without error. and the bible is not God.

That said not one of you has ever successfully been able to bring up a supposed error that could not be reconciled.
