This idea that is put around that people used to think that the Earth was flat is a myth. The Romans knew it was a sphere as did the ancient greeks. And anyway, the Bible says circle not sphere.
Quote:2. There has been many efforts to outlaw, burn/destroy the bible. All failed. Scripture reads, Isa 46:10 says my counsel shall stand and Isa 40:08 says the grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of God stands forever. and Prov 19:21 says, many plans are in the man's heart but the counsel of the lord will stand. there are other verses as well saying his counsel will stand. Now the bible must be correct and true since all the attempts to get rid of the bible has failed over and over agian.
The Qu'ran still exists does that mean that it is also true? And what about the Torah? Let's not forget the texts of the Hindu religion. Is this true because they survive?
Quote:3. The bible states in romans 8:7 that the human mind is hostile against God. now is the bible correct? lets see. well, not to offend anyone here but how many atheist exist? since we have atheist all over, this would make the bible correct. Even people that claim to be christians foresake God when angry. I did when I had a miscarriage. and of course I aksed for forgiveness later. But if we were not hostile agaisnt God, then even the believers would never forsake him even when mad even if it is short lived.
This is brilliant. The presence of athiests proves the validity of the Bible? Sorry, but this is utter nonsense.
Quote:4. Archaeological findings confirm exact details of histroical statements that fully support biblical scripture. 17,000 clay tablets dating from 2500 bc (before Christ) contain the oldest known creation accounts outside of the bible. Those clay tablets speak of one being who created the heavens, moon, starsand earth that is also spoke of in genesis in the bible.
So what? Why is this important?
If this were an examination where the question was to provide evidence for the validity of biblical teaching I'd be giving you 1 out of a possible 100, and that's just because I'm being generous.
You'll have to do immeasurably better than that....
