Biblical Archaeology.

[fallingblood]

Will you please address what I've said? I'm not complaining about the evidence that is lacking to support many Biblical details. I'm stating that you've shown no proof what so ever that the Bible is accurate. I'm stating that the argument that you've posed, if taken seriously, can be applied to any number of books with the same results.

If you accept that this evidence you are presenting shows that the Bible is historically accurate, would you also say Harry Potter is historically accurate? It has just as much archeological evidence. London is mentioned in the Harry Potter series, and we know that it still exists today.

I do not accept the use of myths to support a case of facts that I am duscussing in our history. I have given over 200 pages of evidence, why should I waste my time on those who claim I have given none.

Peace.

Christ foretold the destruction of Herods temple in Jerusalem and the city itself, Luke 21:5-6,20-24. Because of Jewish rebellion against Rome's tyranny, armies were sent to and stationed in Palestine to keep order. During one such rebellion in A.D. 68, Vespasian's legionaires had routed the Jews in Jericho and destroyed the Essenes at Qumran. Called back to Rome to become emperor in A.D. 69, Vespasian was replaced by his son Titus, who fulfilled Christ prophecy in A.D. 70 when he began the siege which brought about the destruction of Jerusalem.

He order the city razed, the Temple destroyed, and was responsible for the slaughter of over 600,000 Jews.

I tell you man, Jesus hit that one on the spot, simply incredible history.

Peace.

Read the first part of that post again again:

I'm tired of you selectively quoting people. Also, learn how analogies work.

Jesus traveled through Samaria and once encountered a Woman at what is called " Jacobs Well." This well is still in use today near the little village of " Sycar."

Just astounding.

If your so tired of the things I do, why are you still trying to talk to me?

Peace.

Is that surprising at all when Mark, the earliest Gospel we have, was written after those events occurred?

Yes, the Bible has some historical accuracies. But again, so does Harry Potter. Would you claim that Harry Potter is historically accurate because it contains the same type of historical accuracies that the Bible does?

I do not accept the use of myths in order to support what requires facts. Even if its use is an analogy.

Once again, you're selectively quoting - and thus being dishonest.

And I'm not tired "of the things you do" (although I'm getting close), I'm tired of you selectively quoting people because, as already said, it's dishonest.

Finally, the reason I'm going to keep "talking to you" is simple: it's a free forum, I'm not breaking any of the rules, and as long as you continue to say things I disagree with I am free to disagree with them.

Now, when are you going to learn what an analogy is and why such analogies render all your logic in your entire thread fallacious?

Here's the quick version: By your logic, you can state that any book that contains any historical places in it is true.

Now, a quick exercise.

Person A: The Bible contains references to many real places, therefore this is evidence that the Bible is true!
Person B: The Harry Potter books contain references to many real places, therefore this is evidence that the Harry Potter books are true!

Can you outline the difference in logic between person A and person B? And, for the love of all that is good, do not say "person B is using myth". By your standard of evidence, person B has already thoroughly demonstrate that his supposed "myth" is just as true as yours. Whether you want to admit it or not, the Bible is a book of myths.

Its is a free forum, and my ignoring you, because I don't like things in you, is not breaking any of the rules either.

What myths? By the logic you are using, Harry Potter is factual. I can point to countless pieces of evidence that would show that Harry Potter, by the logic you are using, is historical. I can point out many pieces of archeology that would support that idea.

However, at the same time, the Bible is also full of myths. So I really don't understand why you won't address what I'm saying. My thought is that you refuse to actually engage in debate as you know your argument is very weak.

Many scholars believe that Luke was written in 80 ad. So this is not proof of Jesus' prophecy. This belief still has to be taken by faith.

Tell your scholars its proof to me.

I never implied it was. Also, if your aim is to ignore me then you're not doing a very good job.

And again, you're selectively quoting. Can you not respond to the points I raised?

You're more of a talker than a listener, aren't you?

So you are basically saying that you have a blind faith that what you believe is true? You could have just said that right away instead of trying to go into a debate that you never really wanted to do in the first place.

I have no faith, and theres nowhere on this board you can pull up me ever saying so.

And I have loved this debate, stomping on the useless rebuttals I have received. There has been no rebuttals that prove anything I have posted is not human history.

Whats it feel like Blood, knowing that your belief is ungrounded?

Peace.
