Statistical Reasoning

...and around again...

You haven’t added a single idea to that pearl of wisdom.
I doubt that you will.
The thing about gangstas is, we can spot dodgy punters very quickly.
You are a dodgy punter.
Three pages of teaser campaign and egomania.
I may join the discussion again if you actually say something substantive.

Gangsters are wicked as hell.
You get no respect.

Why do you care anyway ?

Maybe it's hard for you to understand
academic theology.

There are no original autographs,
so it is impossible to claim them
as an actual final authority.

That's why it so ridiculous for
anyone to take that position.

a. only the originals theory
b. none of the originals theory
c. purified text theory

Be sincere, be diligent,
research the purified text theory
and the record theory.

Upgrade your theology.

The " Original Only Theory "
produces a sola scriptura theology
with 99.1% probability.

The " KJV Only Theory " produces
a sola scriptura theology with
99.99% probability.

The Purifed Text Theory is the truest
Sola Scriptura Theology.

It produces a sola scriptura theology
with 100% certainty.

5 pages in and no substance. The verbal diarrhea and shameless flexing at least make it an entertaining read, though.

Final authority is the central critical
issue in academic theology.

Be honest.
You have no idea what the
purified text theory is.

Not one single individual in this thread
knows what the purified text theory is
and are to insincere to admit that
they have been parroting the
original only theory.

Well of course I have no idea what the purified text theory is. I have no idea what anything you have brought up is. There's no sources, no context, and you've presented it in such a way that is inaccessible for people who aren't versed in the exact same theological theories on biblical texts that you are. Maybe it's intentional, so you can weed out uneducated plebs such as myself who wouldn't have much to contribute in your eyes, but from my perspective it looks as though you are just someone trying to troll people. in any case, enjoy yourself. I'll just sit back and eat my popcorn.

SigurdReginson, I do like your attitude
and I hope you will research these theories.
Since you have read this thread you now
have a comprehensive orientation.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.

And here I was, hoping to see a discussion of the validity of statistical reasoning, or something interesting.

Instead, I see some claims comparing different theologies with no basis for the comparison, and obvious statements that none of the Biblical texts we have are originals.

Ultimately, theology is simply re-arranging your prejudices. It isn't a valid area of study (except historically) and is completely ** (the degree claimed, I see).

So, why should anyone care about whether there are or are not 'original autographs'? The whole subject is, as far as I can see, garbage.

We should care because the scriptures
are the final authority.

Jesus Christ repeatedly stated that
there is a heaven and there is a hell.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again he can not
see the Kingdom of God.

I disagree. The scriptures were written by men for political and social power. They should be ignored as useless, in my opinion.

I really don't care, except as a historical curiosity, which texts were originally used and which were not. It can be interesting to see how the texts changed over time, if you are into that sort of thing.

But theology? Pure garbage. A topic without a subject.

Jesus fulfilled 300 messianic prophecies,
was born of a virgin, performed miracles,
lived a sinless life, died, was buried in
a sealed tomb, rose from the dead,
showed himself alive to 500 individuals
at once who knew him or knew of him
and then spent forty days with
his family and his disciples.

His followers have build thousands
of churches and colleges.
There are thousands of dissertations
demonstrating the apologetics of scripture
and the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Your opinion is irrelevant.

Maybe you should contact Oxford,
Cambridge, Harvard, Yale and Princeton
and let them know that you have disproved
all the dissertations.

Maybe you're wiser than Solomon
and have more authority
than Jesus Christ.

How is this thread materially different than the thread begun by the OP in The Biblical debates subforum in September titled Final Authority. That thread has gone on for 14 pages?

Just wondering.
