Let me live my delusion.

Please explain how it's "a bunch of cow paddies". That is exactly how they explained it. It was said over and over so many times, it was really hard to keep my mouth shut.
Oh I see, so if someone dies it's Satan's fault but if someone is healed (miraculously by your definition) God intervened! The logical fallacy is thick. You obviously don't have proof of any of this either.
Think about this. If God loved us so much, why did he make us broken and to suffer? Why send his son to suffer and die a horrible death (which no loving parent would do) when he/she could simply have fixed it all with the wave of a hand? God, this supposed perfect being made a horribly imperfect world. Don't give me the free will crap either, because an all knowing, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc etc being knew every single outcome before they happened. Meaning, he knew Adam and Eve would break his laws before he even made them. Sounds like an a-hole to me.
@KenS, @Debateable : what does any of this have to do with archaeology?
Once again we're treated to competition between those wanting to testify and those committed to bible-bashing. Why don't you folks take a break and actually pick up a book on archaeology?

Good point, but it's hard to not get into a debate when people continuously try to use said archaeology for proof of their faith. There's a reason it's called faith...
Or, for that matter, their lack of faith.
1) I'm glad you were able to save your marriage if that was a good thing for you.
2) You absolute right to live your life with whichever delusions you want. But that doesn't mean I will take them seriously in a public forum.
^ disingenuous hubris ...
Thinking the creator of the universe is concerned about someone's marriage? Yes, probably hubris is a good word for it.

Just how am I using archaeology to disprove faith?
Sorry. It did, in fact, look like I was directing such a criticism against you.That was not my intent. Actually I rather like your posts (save for the math confusion in post # 48). Shalom ...
AND I DON'T BLAME YOU!! Yes, I'm shouting.
Ohhhh... you want me to say that if someone is healed it is Satan's doing and if someone dies it is God's doing. Man, is your thinking religious.
Name me ONE time when Jesus, who did the perfect will of God, EVER went to someone and said "I'm just going to take your life!" No, the times that someone young died, he came are raised them from the dead.
He didn't. It would be like you giving a car to your son or daughter who then went 100 mph and destroyed the car and got injured and then said to you "Dad/mom why did you make me suffer?"
Parents do it all the time as the let their children go into the armed forces and you need to read Genesis instead of just making statements. (Or ask questions for understanding)
Let me ask you some questions and see what kinda world you are describing...
If a car accident is about to happen, God should wave a wand and stop it. Therefore,
If someone is about to break a bone, God should wave a wand and stop it. Therefore,
Someone is about to fall off their skate board and God should wave a wand and stop it.
Someone is about to scrape their knee He should wave a wand and stop it.
And while He is at it, He should prevent us from driving to fast, playing sports, stop us from having a skateboard and stop us from running.
That is the world you just described by the "wave of a wand".
You would NEVER live under your parents roof if they exerted that type of control.
My point from the beginning is simply that the historical record in the TaNaKh is correct. You can leave my faith out of it if you want.
What does any of this have to do with archaeology?
Your 'point' is simply wrong.
1) Thanks 2) Not a problem... am I allowed not to take you seriously either?
nothing... I was just commenting on his statement... we have deviated from the OP. I will stop on that subject... it should be a different thread-line
It keeps coming up right. Archaeology has corrected itself before.
That was pathetic.
... at best.
Why, thank you!
<3 But archaeology has corrected itself none-the-less.here is the latest:
My position has been that when YHWY said "Write this down to rehearse it in Joshua's ears" - that's what He meant. People were saying that they didn't write back then but now...
Bible Possibly Written Centuries Earlier, Text Suggests
You can call that "pathetic" -- I call it "justification".
