How 'bout a discussion on the historical accuracy of the NT before you get to the flat out impossible.

Well, in post #270, I posted a general outline, but the mods have informed me that I need to wait until 30 days have passed before I can link to outside material AND they are nervous about the size of the posts I have written in Word myself. Consequently, I'm not able to provide a comprehensive overview.

So, perhaps if you specified what you would like to know more about?

So, how do you explain those who have lost their faith after studying the buy-bull?!?[/quote]

I would say that despite Luther's claims to the contrary, the Bible is not perspicuous. It cannot be easily understood by every plow boy or milk maid who takes it up. That is why Jesus built a Church instead of writing a book. He created an infallible Church to interpret an inerrant text.
