Thanks for your response. I kind of didn't expect any. By functional system you mean some sort of barter exchange, monetary. That's not in my scenario. So, no money. There would be no replacement. No system, as it were. Simply science and technology providing the material needs of every man...
You expect honest, sensible answers about theism but you withhold that you are an atheist? Theism is with gods, atheism is without gods. You can believe in gods while being without them. I'm apolitical. Without politics. I believe in the existence of politics. The demons don't believe in God...
I believe Jehovah God is the solution to all of mankind's problems. But, temporarily, until that comes about, science and technology can solve most of mankind's problems. The first step is to remove all forms of money. Convince me I'm wrong.
First of all, I don't reject Jesus, but the problem with your OP is that he doesn't save us all. The terminology is vague and religious. He saves those of mankind who accept him and act accordingly, thus saving all mankind as a whole. From destruction. Separation from God? Is also vague and...
I don't really understand either one of your posts here, #2 and #3. Since you stopped reading after I suggested Michael was Jesus, I guess I could respond to that.
For some reason, which I could never quite understand, it seems extremely difficult for some people, especially skeptics, to...
Ideology is a problem to be solved before we can have any real debate. Specifically, regarding the Bible, the first problem is separating the ideology from the factual. Ideologically people think the Bible is many things it isn't. So, the idea that the Bible only presents "truth" is...
Then spoon feed me. How else am I supposed to know what you are talking about? Do you expect me to think the same as you and disagree simultaneously? Do you expect me to make the same assumption or have discussed the same claim previously?
No, I think we're done. You're just playing silly...
Asking me questions isn't presenting the data. If you can't present the data there isn't any point in carrying on, is there? Quoting Matthew isn't presenting the data. Show me the alleged discrepancy between Matthew and Luke. It isn't a puzzle I want to figure out. Show me the data.
We. There may be some clear errors if we can read it without prejudice. We including you and I. The Bible has errors. It's irrelevant.
I need the data.
I study the Bible. I claim there are errors. I can demonstrate this; I can show the data. What I don't study, unless presented with the...
Has it? What is the second and third? Where's your data?
No. First of all, I may be one that set out to debunk the Bible and became a believer, but I would think that not the norm. I don't have the data so I couldn't say for sure, but far more importantly - finding faults in the Bible is a...
True is an ambiguous term. It really doesn't mean much. It doesn't really mean what you think it does.
1 isn't accurate according to the Bible.
2 is ambiguous as well. Jesus is mediator to man, since before Adam sinned.
3 is accurate according to the Bible.
4 isn't accurate according to the...
I believe the Bible contains a relatively brief prologue from Genesis 1:1 - 3:14 which gives the account of the creation of the universe, earth and the living inhabitants, concluding with man and his fall from God's favor. Then Genesis 3:15 - Revelation 22:21 gives the account of Jehovah's plan...
Right, and they had specific manuscripts for doing that and other specific manuscripts for study. The ones used in temple for reading were not very accurate. Which actually brings up the point which has been alluded to several times. What bearing does accuracy have on the question of the Bible...
