Isaiah 53, 700 B.C: Historical Evidence of the Divine Omniscience.

RE: Isaiah 53, 700 B.C: Historical Evidence of the Divine Omniscience.
I wonder if NX realizes how insanely stupid and intellectually dishonest, and structurally flawed his form of argumentation is, in these posts.
First he takes a quote, often out of context, such as Isaiah, from an ancient text. He actually knows next to nothing about the ancient cultural context, or even the literary
context, or its background, as we showed here yesterday.

Then He creates a (false) comparison to something some people believe today, because some of the words happen to be similar.
He then slaps on his *present* understandings from his *present* beliefs onto the ancient text. And viola.
Besides the fact that this is a well known methodological error ("presentism"), he actually thinks that his false use of similar words which meant different things at the time they were written, to claim a "prediction" for his present beliefs, from an ancient source that had no such similar concept at all, and that method will produce something worth considering.
His method (actually its the method of pretty much all fundies), is flawed, his knowledge of the ancient world is totally flawed, and no thoughtful person would accept this method or anything he claims as a result of his examination, or assertions. He actually thinks this flawed method should produce the truth.

But this is pretty much a universally used, false methodology in Fundamentalism.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
