Jerry, You responded:
I'd appreciate it if you all would stop trying to
push your product on me. If it is that good of a
product then people will come to it willingly
(Buddhism never advertises). The Bible is a
compilation of stories (torah) written ~ 600 BC
during the Babylonian exodus. The Gospels (new
testament) were accounts disjointed that only 4
made it in where many more were hid away (Nag
Hamadi) . The Council of Nicea and the Roman
Emperor Constantine decided how Christianity
should look and feel to the Roman Empire and what
a church should look like and what the 'official
story' should be(that should give you a clue right
there). Vedas from the Hindus, Koran from
Mohammed, Sutras from Buddhism, Tao Te Ching
from Lao Tzu. These are all keystone books for
their respective religions, but not one of them can
corner the market on how this universe came to
be....not one. Scientists also have theories on how
the universe came about based on rational analyis.
But are they absolutely correct on this account? I
dont know...and i am perfectly happy with 'i dont
God revealed His word to ancient Israel over a thousandyear period (c. 1400-400 BC), and then scribes copied the
biblical scrolls and manuscripts for more than a
millennium after that. The process by which the Old
Testament books came to be recognized as the Word of
God and the history of how these books were preserved
and handed down through the generations enhances our
confidence in the credibility of the Old Testament as
inspired Scripture. (2 Tim 3:16).
Source critics; etc, who all employ the invalid GrafWellhausen Documentary Hypothesis outlined in Josh
McDowells two volume landmark work Evidence That
Demands a Verdict embrace that theory upon which
they construct their various approaches to biblical textual
criticism upon imaginary, non-existent source documents:
The purported J/E/P/D documents along with the never
ending divisions of those divisions. There is not a single
shred of evidence for their existence. The assertion of
their existence is complete conjecture.
You are a very smart man Jerry. I trust if you actually took
a look at the FACTS you too would be compelled to accept
Jesus as your Savior and invite Him into your heart to be
your Lord.
At the same time that you assert you are happy with I
dont know and its a mystery you maintain that you are
confident that you know that God did not create as is
maintained in the biblical narrative in 6 days. Such an
assertion on your part is an obvious contradiction which
reflects an anti-supernatural presupposition on your part
which results in a cognitive dissonance arising in any
assertion by you that on the one hand you are
Agnosticthat you dont knowwhile on the other
hand, or other side of your mouth as it were you maintain
that you do know that God did not create the Universe.
