The Good Samaritian

[Bucky Ball]

Whether I believed or not the options were always the same. To either believe or not. Therefore I could not or did not change my options.

OPINIONS, junior. No one said ANYTHING about "options" you idiot. I see your reading skills are as bad as your spelling skills, junior. You asked me to show where your OPINIONS changed, not your OPTIONS changed. I did. Fail.

The POINT was, (whether your deity chooses the ones that show up or not),
it is STILL A CAPRICIOUS deity, as it creates everyone, and chooses some. You misses the point. I see you never took a debate class. Be sure and don't try preaching or apologetics for a job.

I PROVED the Prodigal son had literary antecedents from a secular source. They fact that you provided one biased ignorant source who happened to be unaware, proves NOTHING.
I see you never took a course on Parable Literature, or Comparative Mythology.

Oh, really?!?! To me it looks like there are three Koine Greek words that can translate to 'history.'
διήγησις
... Definition: a narration, relation, history, Lk. 1:1* ...
Lexicon
γενεαλογία
... Definition: genealogy, catalogue of ancestors, history of descent, 1 Tim. 1:4; Tit. 3:9* ...Lexicon
βασιλεία
... with various limitation, of its administration and coming history, as in the parables; its distinctive nature, Rom. 14:17; its ...

Great. Now all ya gotta do is find ONE in Archaic Hebrew, and Aramaic. The fact is at the time, the Greeks and Romans were arguing, (BTW "arguing" has no "e"), about how to write,
and what it meant to write history. The fact that you are ignorant of those discussions, in either Greek or Roman writings, (Tacitus), proves your utter lack of education.
Maybe you best stop rolling on the floor and actually do your homework.

In your historical expertise how did a govermental agency conduct a man hunt 2000 years ago? Now again who's to say they did not do everything they could do?

You are SO desperate. And I see you didn't get a spell checker.
It's "governmental". The Roman legions were OCCUPYING Jerusalem. They could have found anyone they wanted to find. There would be records both Jewish and Roman for
events so monumental as these. The church Fathers would have USED or mentioned them if ANY were extant, or known. There was NOTHING.

Philo was not a historean He was a philospher who's works concentrated on the pharisacical aspects of the Law, and how they related to 1 century moseic/Jewish life.

Your use of philo of alexandria as a reference to support your statement/arguement is at best a display of general ignorance of the works of this Jewish Philospher. Or the other option is your out right lying. Because either way the works of Philo did not cover the areas of historical intrest you said they did.

Philo wrote a lot of things. I see you never read any of it, or even know anything of what he actually wrote. You FAILED to address the others.

Why do you assume it was not written down? Are you so foolish that you are under the impression that the vast majority of what was written in the first century was perserved? Why else default to your arguement "Why wasn't it written down?" -Or do you simply not understand that you must show that you can account for all of the written record in that area at that time to use the arguement "why wasn't it written down?"

I don't have to do any such thing. One has to address ONLY what is on- subject. You REALLY have no education at all do you ? The Church Fathers would have given their right nut if there had been ANYTHING.
They said nothing.

One who has NO knowledge of anything of the period in question, can't spell worth a damn, refuted NOTHING, did not even address or even UNDERSTAND the points being made, thinks "invisible gods" are actually "evidence" addressed no substantive point, can't read (but was SO stupid as to think one biased ignorant article proves his point) ought to ask his Babble College for his tuition back.

You obviously flunked apologetics. With that spelling, you obviously didn't even graduate from high school.
