That is why most churches provide new "miracles" all the time....but, as any information is readily available now, people become skeptics gradually.
If John writes that the miracles are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, why Matthew and the other synoptic...
There is no such thing as Byzantine translation. The Byzantine Empire used a Greek translation of the Bible known as the Septuagint (for the Old Testament) translated between 285–247 BCE, centuries before the Byzantine Empire was established, plus the original Greek texts of the New Testament...
Impossible not to notice that it gradually became dark, otherwise he wouldn't ask God for the sun to stand still. The only explanation could be that he was knocked out for 24 hours and saw the sun in the same position again the next day.:laughing:
Anyway, there is no point to discuss a...
I don't have any evidence, hence I don't believe in anything supernatural. Whatever other cultures believe about supernatural, serves only as a comparison of human imagination for me.
My mistake, I thought we were only talking about the Christian God, in which case couldn't figure out why other cultures' beliefs were relevant, but then noticed that the thread's title is about any supernatural God.
Again no. I may have more knowledge, but they have more experience and probably much more love and compassion for me and others. And that I value it a lot, probably unlike you with your silly questions.
Not at all, but 99% of people in South East Mediterranean were illiterate at that time and obviously didn't have the knowledge we developed later on.
The word primitive is not an insult.
Well yes, the primitive people who wrote the Bible thought that the sun moves around the earth, but we (and God) know that this is false. So the Joshua verse could not have happened and is fictitious.
What do you mean about man's perspective that the sun stood still? How can a man see the sun not going down for a whole day? The verse suggests that is literal because it also states "There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord hearkened to the voice of a man".
The only way to...
Presume you are referring to whether some parts of the Bible are literal or metaphorical and not to Biblical Literaslim, i.e. the inerrancy of the Bible.
I believe that a biblical text is to be deciphered according to the ‘plain meaning’ expressed by its linguistic construction, historical...
I offered you a list of valid arguments with verses proving that Jesus was in no way Messiah, also proving that if he is God, he told prophets that the only true religion is Judaism. It's in your "infallible" Bible, but you don't dare read them...:laughing::laughing::laughing:
You remain totally...
No I don't need any, because if people's salvation is predestined in either Heavens or Hell, there is nothing I can do.. ♫ ♪ ♫
As for the deal being signed, sealed and delivered with you...keep dreaming.. It's good for the skin...:laughing:
Criteria for Messiah (all supposedly given by God).
1. He must be a Jew (Deut 17:15, Num 24:17) - The only condition fulfilled by Jesus.
2. He must be a direct descendant of King David (Isaiah 11:1) through King Solomon (I Proverbs 22:8-10), only if Solomon kept his faith in God Yahweh (II...
