    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    What evidence? I can show you otherwise. (But you first.) Actually I did, in the post above yours. I guess you didn’t see it. Show me, then. What archaeologists have discovered at Jericho, is in line with the Biblical narrative.

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    First of all, thanks for posting that info from JW’s. I see no need to comment on your “how religion began” post. For the most part, religion has been a bane to the world’s cultures, alienating people from their Creator Jehovah, since the rebellion in Eden. Instead of there existing only one...

    RE: the Israelite slavery and Exodus from Egypt, I think the evidence will be brought to the mainstream public’s attention within the decade (though not necessarily by the article’s authors):

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    No, the Seventh Day is not mentioned as having an evening & morning. For a reason: it’s not literal. This borders on circular reasoning. Paul wasn’t speaking about yesterday, a 24-hr day. Come on. You should already be aware that the Bible uses symbolism all the time! The Apostle Paul knew it...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    See, I don’t think so, because on Day 6, too much was going on! And as Adam was engaged in his assignment, ie., giving the animals their names (arbitrarily? I doubt it), Jehovah said at Genesis 2:18, ““It is not good for the man to continue to be alone.” (After 1 day? I doubt that, too.) And...

    Challenge: I'm willing to convert if.......

    It’s not just words… Love is something you observe. Jesus indicated that, when he said, “All will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) So, for Jesus’ statement to have meaning, this love and the global unity it engenders, would stand out as different...

    Challenge: I'm willing to convert if.......

    There is a reason. Genesis 3 gives some details… There was an issue raised, as to sovereignty: whether man can make his own decisions, and not obey his Creator. So, for the most part, Jehovah God has stayed out of human affairs. Except when protecting His people. We can discuss this...

    Yeah, it sure does. But that doesn’t stop you.

    Post them. Post them. Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence. The government of Egypt has been hindering any searches relating to the Exodus for ages, since the account puts Egypt in a bad light (although it’s been thousands of years.) As for the Red Sea, they don’t allow retrieval of...

    I didn’t take anything out of context! If anything, the surrounding verses support what I said. And in Titus, Paul was speaking of the inhabitants of Crete, not Jews only. And to answer your question: no, I’m not anti-Semitic. They’re all my cousins, so are you.

    Yes. The Bible informs us of this, too. Titus 1:16; Matthew 7:20

    Challenge: I'm willing to convert if.......

    Instead of looking for proof of a miracle (I mean, what would you look for? I do believe that there is evidence… maybe chariot wheels in the Red Sea?), I think a better way (well, a less energy-consuming way) to find a genuine religion, is looking for what Jesus said: “By their fruits”, and “all...

    Challenge: I'm willing to convert if.......

    Yes….”authentic religion.” It really should. But how many religions have gotten involved with warfare? Really, some of the bloodiest wars in history have been instigated by religion! These inauthentic, read counterfeit, religions have not helped to create ‘good human beings with good moral...

    Yes, I agree with regard to understanding that the Creative Days were literal days I’ve told you, many times, I’m not a YEC. The evidence doesn’t support that view. Fortunately, “Yom” (Hebrew word for ‘day’) isn’t limited to a literal 24-hr.-day meaning.

    Adam and his wife died physically after eating the Forbidden Fruit. Genesis 2:17 is Literal.

    Hey IANS, hope you and yours are well… Unfortunately, for centuries Bibles have been translated by many who adhere to preconceived ideas, and their translations reveal their biases. But the ancient manuscripts they are based on, vary little. The Dead Sea Scrolls support that. Well, I’ve...

    I agree. The article provides independent sources.

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    You speak words without knowledge. Archaeology has consistently verified it is reliable. Where do you get your (mis)information? All you have to do, is find an unbiased, reliable stele or relic that refutes a Biblical Event.

    Is Science The Top Reason People Abandon Spiritual Pursuits?

    Explain what things? Like OOL? Science has no idea how life originated through natural, mindless mechanisms/forces! And many aspects attributed to evolution, remain highly debatable and lack consensus among scientists. (Have you read Gerd Müller’s “Explanatory Deficits of the MS”?) Yes, most...
