Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

[discipulus]

I gather you think what I said was ridiculous and that is ok.

I wouldn't say it's ridiculous.
I'd say it says a lot about the general level of education of the people about their own inner brain operation and on how easily it can be fooled... and, as all such fooling... it (the brain) is seldom aware that it is being fooled and accepts the event/operation as reliable.

It is my opinion that humanity's early extraordinary experiences fall under such brain trickery and subsequent misunderstanding of these experiences.
As more and more people accept such misunderstanding, it becomes normal and people gather around that idea.
Some people dress it up as a very appealing idea and a religion is born.

From this arises the word many of us usually use to describe believers: delusional.

If there is one thing I am sure of in this life it is this: I know I have been changed.

I know who I was.

I know who I am now.

And I know it is not by any trick of my mind that I am who I am today.

I was once a slave to sin.

Now Christ is my Lord.

I guess the question remains: What would you do if you saw me raise someone from the dead in Jesus' name?

I'd most likely seriously doubt that the person was dead to begin with...

For the sake of argument, the man has been dead for three days. His body has begun decomposing and smells horribly (Lazarus).

I come to him and cry aloud to arise in Jesus' name.

The man arises, alive and well.

What would you do then?

********************

If after reading the last sentence I typed, you immediately in your mind begin thinking of other possible "naturalistic" explanations for this event then you should ask yourself......

Why?

Why am I trying to explain it away? Why am I not accepting that it could only be because Christ has power over death?

Why am I so dead-set against miracles happening?

Why do I assume a priori that those things cannot happen?
