Show me definitive proof your religious text isn't entirely made up.

[Etritonakin]

So you believe in macro-evoution? Just for the sake of clarification?



Right, you kept saying it is happening now, for instance, there governors of the House of Judah governing Israel, but ever time I ask for any specific evidence regarding this, you just keep ignoring it. I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to spend 10 years to research the Bible, under any circumstance.

I'm fine with you not wanting to do research.

I'm fine with you not wanting to do research.

If "research" entails reading the Bible over and over to back up your claims that the House of Judah (which although I've looked up multiple times, cannot find a definition of what this means) is a direct lineage to governors currently residing in Israel, I am also very much fine with it.

 

[allfoak]

I know you didn't. You said all answers lie within myself. I've answered the questions. My pursuit for ecclesiastic validation may be over.

excellent!

 

[dust1n]

excellent!

This is pretty cool. Although, admittedly, a tad bit lonely.

 

[allfoak]

Lonely?
If you are asking questions of yourself then who is doing the asking and who is doing the answering?

 

[Desert Snake]

Proof is on the claimant, it's up to you to prove that the text is made up. I can't take this thread seriously, for that reason.

Funny how the burden of proof is never yourself, even when you are the one making the claims...

Got that math ready?

So do you not claim that there is definitive proof for your religious text?

 

[dust1n]

Myself, and myself. Who else?

 

[allfoak]

how is it that you can talk and listen at the same time? perhaps there is more going on than you realize. we are never alone.

This is your thread, your claims.

Generally, when I hold a conversation with a friend of such, I do not talk while they talk, and they do not talk while I talk.

 

[dust1n]

This is your thread, your claims.

The thread is called "show me definitive proof your religious text isn't entirely made up" not "I'll show you definitive proof your religious text is entirely made up."

If you do not wish to participate in this thread, it is not mandatory.

If you do, I'll ask again...

"So do you not claim that there is definitive proof for your religious text?"

I ask another way.



True or False. There exists definitive proof for the claims in the Bible.

''convince me'', is not an argument. How could it be, that's ridiculous. One could merely state that any evidence is not convincing.

It doesn't say "convince me," it says "show me." If you do not wish to participate in the premise OP, then don't.

Evidence is convincing as long as it can be verified. If not, it is usually just speculation.

This is correct.
So how well are you listening?
Is your mind focused on well being or fear and worry?
Too whom are you listening when it comes to guiding your own life?

 

[dust1n]

This is correct.
So how well are you listening?

Pretty well.

Is your mind focused on well being or fear and worry?

I don't particularly go out of my way to ensure any great sense of security, no. I'm a pretty short-term goal sort of person.

Too whom are you listening when it comes to guiding your own life?

Myself, of course. The words that are playing out in my head.

 

[allfoak]

So how do you feel about the integrity of religious texts in general?

That there isn't much, and the little that is there has already been stripped from religious texts long ago, and applied in more useful ways.
