Nine Pieces Of Evidence That Confirm The Historical Accuracy Of The Bible

[sooda]

That's the definition of liberal theologians - those who deny the truths of God. Even Jesus (God) confirmed Sodom and Gomorrah was legitimate.



You have some very strange ideas concerning all that. The New Testament is a myth? Not in a million years, joelr.



Hyperbole. But there was a large gang of those abusers of the flesh in those cities. Remember, God said if there were even ten honest men in the city, he wouldn't destroy it (Genesis 18). So there you have it - a sewer of corruption.



Sorry to burst your little bubble but I've already linked to evidence for the site of that devastation, and the ancient Jewish historian Josephus confirmed the story.

Read what Josephus actually said. Remember that he wasn't born until 37 AD.. Whatever happened in the "cities of the plains" happened thousands of years before Abraham and Lot. There is just nothing there.. no tells, no ruins..

Please don't bother me with your nonsense anymore.

Don't be childish … Josephus wasn't even born until 37 AD.

"But Lot’s wife continually turning back to view the city, as she went from it; and being too nicely inquisitive what would become of it, although God had forbidden her so to do; was changed into a pillar of salt. (33) For I have seen it, and it remains at this day." Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews, Book I

What does that have to do with archaeological ruins? They're still there to this day.

Horse manure, Salt pillars are quite common.. I have seen them myself in Arabia and at the Dead Sea.

Most scholars interpret being turned to salt as being made barren. Bronze age people were not stupid.

Except for anyone from the Bronze Age that spoke about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, right? Those were the stupid ones? You wreck your own arguments.

Yes, there are.

Quote: "Conclusion - When the archaeological, geographical and epigraphic evidence is reviewed in detail, it is clear that the infamous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have now been found. What is more, this evidence demonstrates that the Bible provides an accurate eyewitness account of events that occurred southeast of the Dead Sea over 4,000 years ago."

And you are evidently clueless about the supernatural.

EVERYONE is clueless about the supernatural, because nobody has ever been able to demonstrate that it exists in the first place. It's existence is an assertion that demands evidence.

Nuts. People have been eyewitnesses of supernatural, sudden healings for ages. I've seen them myself. Healing services are going on around the U.S. regularly. Sure, some are bogus but there's the real thing also. I don't expect you to believe that, but there it is. I also doubt you've ever researched them to know one way or the other.

Then go ahead and demonstrate anything supernatural. You'd be the first person to do so.

Some are bogus and some are real? How do we measure and decide which is bogus and which is real? Is it just someone's say-so?

Do your homework.

Please don't bother me with your nonsense anymore.

You are merely angry because you can't support your claims because the sources that you use are laughable. I already told you this, if you want a more serious response find some real scholars that support you. You are too embarrassed to even quote from the store that you choose.

Then why can't anyone find them? Josephus was a historian at best. Recording myths as if they were reality was what he did at times.

Documenting A Miracle

You've already tried this one on me before. It fails miserably.

Do your homework.

You're the one claiming these things are real. When I ask how we determine that they're real, you tell me to do my homework?

LOL Is that your serious answer?

I guess all I can conclude is that you've got nothing in the demonstration-of -your -claims department.

Matthew 7:6 contains the principle about why I'm not going to bother anymore with your troubled views.

Couldn't prove that by anything you presented.

Ridiculously weak sources that he does not even quote from seems to be his technique.
