I was lost but now Im found

God has left us with 66 books written by some 40 holy men in order for us to be drawn to God through belief in His word.

I know you missed it, but did you see how many presuppositions you made in that one single sentence?

That's great--kinda like one of those puzzles where you have to count all the over lapping triangles inside one shape.

Let's see:

God exists. (enabling presup number 1)

The forty men traditionally given credit for for writing a part of the Bible actually existed. (40 presups)

The forty men traditionally given credit for writing a part of the Bible were holy. (40 more presups)

The forty men traditionally given credit for writing a part of the Bible actually wrote the part traditionally assigned to them. (40 more presups)

Each of the books is the actual word of god. (66 presups)

Each of the books was left to us by god. (Yet another 66 presups).

The 66 books were written to draw us into belief in god--oddly enough the books seem to assume that part and go right into the praising, smiting and instructions. (That's another 66 presups)



I count 319. And tony, since you're into numerology, I will point out that if you add digits of 319 together you get 13 which is an unlucky number, not that that means anything.
