[what] is that ("inspired") supposed to mean?
Ooh - something I can respond to!

It wasn't any harder the first time I asked it.

Quote:People were 'inspired' to write it down. Vie logical deduction we deduce that their source of inspiration was god.

Repeating it over and over doesn't define it. Are you claiming this god-figure dictated to these people or somehow got inside their heads and moved their hands to write down the words, and they wrote down its words and/or thoughts directly?

Quote: Now you would disagree with that, not having a 'god' allowance in your world view.

What world view? rather presumptuous of you.


Quote: So it might be difficult for you to imagine.

Difficult to imagine? Not at all. But your hiding behind vagueness and obfuscation doesn't help your case any.


Quote: Sufffice to say, if you refuse to consider the question, you shouldn't expect to see an answer.

My asking you to define your terms IS my considering the question. Don't be a disingenuous fuck.

Yes, and we can see it highlighted in red below:

So did you see my answers on the other thread... reason for you to desist with the soft torment in your sig yet?

Is the old testament from God?
Is the new testament from God?
How can you tell whats from God and what isn't?

Asking questions for the crowd still I see. I guess that means I HAVE to answer you because NOT TO ANSWER would be held up for ridicule because "Well why can't this person answer a reasonable question!!!" Panic Oh NOES!!! Panic

So lets me see.

I said: "all of the bible is inspired by God."

You said: "is the OT and the NT inspirted by God."
*thinks for a minute Thinking* ...Yes! Big Grin

You said: "How can you tell whats from God and what isn't?"

I said: (you know I've never EVER heard that question asked on this forrum beforre! I must praise you for your inventiveness! Kudos! Wink) "THS (That's [T]he [H]oly [S]pirit lovverWink) is a tool for discernment, as well as your teaching and reasoning powers. Our source of knowledge is the bible"

You said: "How can you tell whats from God and what isn't?"
You know lovver, I get the feeling that you aren't listening to me here. I might be hurt, but I know your intentions are honourable. Love ya! Heart

You failed to answer raphael's question.
