Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth.

[Akhenaten]

I did once as a priest in the family if jesus could not simply have been literary licence, as in a combination of lots of preachers.
She did not cite any evidence, but claimed that assorted theological analysis made that highly unlikely as in not at all.

If a graduate of theology who is supposed to have an interest in the subject cannot find hard evidence it is rather preposterous for DOC to claim it.
(Ok, it is easy to say at page 270)

I think I've spotted three or four things in your post that are going to give DOC apoplexy.

Nice work.

 

[Belz...]

So 1700 posts is not enough for you.

As usualy you put your stock into the wrong quantity.

 

[Lothian]

I know how much DOC likes to put his words out there. I am sure he will therefore appreciate the following....

I have over 80 posts in this thread.

I don't have the time right now to go through my other 80+ posts.

And I asked you to list only 3 fallacious arguments in my 100 posts in this thread and which post they came from.

List one specific lie contained in my 163 posts and your proof that it is a lie.

But it is my belief God does give enough evidence (some of which I have pointed out in my 160+ posts) to rationally believe in Him,

Huh, haven't you read my 174 posts?

Would it be possible for me to post 200+ times in an evidence thread that has around 90 other posters without giving any evidence

And a lot of the evidence or reasons or whatever you want to call it that I've presented in my 200+ posts have been from the book posted in post #1.

You must have missed my last 215 posts.

And your comment about me not being well read in my faith is a joke that my 27 or so threads with thousands of posts will attest to.

Haven't you read my 259 posts..

I left over 400 posts in that thread.

Your welcome to read my 319 posts.

Your post might confuse someone who haven't read my 319 posts

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'll be happy if people read at least half of my 319 posts in here and they can judge for themselves.

I'll be happy if people with an open mind read at least half of my posts.

My 358 posts are out there for everyone to read and then they can make up their own mind.

Name one post out of my 395 posts in this thread where I lied. Of course you won't be able to.

there is also more evidence within my 400 posts.

Can living things without souls leave thousands of posts on the Randi website.

Sometimes I think you don't realize that my 650+ posts in this thread are out there for everyone to read.

And the evidence is the thousands of posts this soul puts forth the effort to leave.

Name one spambot that has left thousands of posts in the Randi threads?

Can physical living material post thousands of posts on a Randi site?

I've been on this site over 2 years and left over 2800 messages.

[And of course other information is brought out in my 460+ posts.

I believe it and in my 500 or so posts in this thread I given you some reasons why you should believe.

I've given my reasons based on facts in my 560 posts in this thread

My 500 posts in the following thread say otherwise:

My close to 3000 posts about Christianity have to have some substance behind them

Maybe 2 to 3 % at most of my 2900+ posts have to do with those topics

Is it really possible to make 634 posts in an evidence thread like I have in this thread without any evidence.

the good news for me is my #634 posts are out there to read.

And I guess my 650 posts are not enough for some people.

Sometimes I think you don't realize that my 650+ posts in this thread are out there for everyone to read.

Give one lie I have written in my 3000+ posts

If people read my 725 posts they will know mine.

I think I already said enough about Jefferson in my 500 posts in the "Thomas Jefferson's admiration and financial support of Christianity" thread.

Not even one of my 824 posts?

Which of my 844 posts in this thread have been shown to be wrong ?

Is it possible to leave 900 posts in an evidence thread without giving any evidence.

And you will find more in my 900+ posts in this thread.

If you read my 950+ posts in this thread you'll understand why .

my 1000+ posts in this thread are out there and they have little if anything to do with me.

Is it really possible to leave 1100 posts in a thread (like I have in this one) or to have threads like the following 74 page thread on Science if you don't read.

You've have the right to your opinion but my 1100 posts in this thread say otherwise.

Read my 1100 posts in this thread and you will find much evidence

And also my other 1100 posts.

My 1100 posts in this thread are out there

And my 1300 posts (several hundred with information) show that I have a different opinion than you.

Better yet read all 1200 of my posts

Maybe it might of made sense to ask such a question on page 5 or 6, but to ask it on page 199 of this thread is laughable to any unbiased person who has read all 1300 of my posts.

Thank you for your attempt to summarize my close to 1400 posts in 5 lines.

Another general opinion trying to discredit my 1400 posts in 2 sentences.

I've left well over 1400 posts.

If you read my 1400 posts maybe starting with post 7667 (pg. 192) you will find out.

Of course you won't be able to give one lie I've have supposedly made in over 4000 posts I've have made since I have been on the system.

And many of my 1500 posts answer your question about evidence.

Actually I'm dead serious about every one of my 4,414 posts.

And my other 1600 posts has more evidence for people to consider.

I couldn't have made 1600 posts without it.

Have you read my 1600 posts?

My 1600 posts are out there, people have the free will right to think of them as they choose.

My 1600 posts in this 10,000+ post thread are evidence of my honest debate.

The good news is that my close to 1700 posts are out there

So 1700 posts is not enough for you.

Actually, I think that is enough "look at my x number of posts in this thread" posts for me. Can we now have the aforementioned evidence

 

[Toke]

I think I've spotted three or four things in your post that are going to give DOC apoplexy.

Really? What could that be?
I hope he come back to explain.

Nice work.

Thanks.

I am getting worried that since my number of posts in this tread does not measure up to DOC's, he might not take me serious as a biblical scholar.

Dude...seriously...vacation time is necessary. The fact that you culled all those tells me that you need a new hobby. One that doesn't have the blood pressure implications like, cat wrangling say.

 

[Her Dark Star]

Ok there had better be some serious evidence in this thread to justify it's existence of 10K posts and rising. Could anyone please summarise the evidence that has been produced since the OP? Because I can't find any...
Might be worth doing for all the new readers since the sheer size of the thread is acting like a tourist attraction
In all seriousness, I've followed fair chunks of the thread but I've also missed quite a few thousand posts so I'm not quite sure what Thomas Jefferson quotes or accusations of lying and hypocrisy have to do with the topic at hand. Has anything that qualifies as evidence actually been produced?

Summary?
Basically because various people of various "authorities" believed that some fella Jesus existed or there are some things that DOC does not understand or can't imagine happening therefore you must believe that some version of DOC's god exists.

Lot's of evidence has been produced... unfortunately for DOC none of it supports his OP. Quite the opposite in fact.

 

[phunk]

Oh, by the way, someone mentioned archaeology and the bible. For anyone interested, former skeptic Ralph Muncaster has 41 pages devoted to that subject (pages 237 - 278) in his 605 page book titled "Examine the Evidence". He talks of both New and Old Testament facts backed up by archaeology, and mentions many towns in the bible verified by archaeology and such thing as synagogues, inscriptions, etc.

If I show you evidence that Tokyo exists, will you believe that Godzilla is a true story?

Awesome.

I know where I'll be linking to next time DOC shares his post count with us.

Ok, here it is. We aren't allowed to do this anymore:

so we had to come up with other ways of dealing with the insane lack of evidence posted by the thread's main proponent. Hence, DOC: the drinking Game; DOC Bingo and so on.

Oh, and some people have bothered to put forth cogent, intelligent fact-based counter-arguments to DOC's drivel. I'm just not one of them any more.

Now you owe me a keyboard. I did not want to laugh loudly, tried to stop myself and clamped my mouth, and *boom*, instead I snoted all over it.

 

[Elizabeth I]

If I show you evidence that Tokyo exists, will you believe that Godzilla is a true story?

I'm going to be upset if it's not, because I always thought Godzilla was one of Nessie's relatives (living in the ocean and all like he does.)

Goddidn'tdoit.

Might be worth doing for all the new readers since the sheer size of the thread is acting like a tourist attraction

I'm inclined to think that this is a good thing, but DOC refuses to understand it.

All any new reader needs to do is just what you've done, which I'd summarise thusly:


1. Notice this massive thread near the top of the front page.

2. Note that the thread title uses grammar which appears to be that of a 10-year-old.

3. Read the OP and observe that the poor grammar of the thread title is reinforced by Overuse of Capitalisation, a

confusing​

layout,​

no links to referenced material and includes this lie in the very first paragraph:

In the "Do Most Atheists know that Science..." thread I mentioned Norman Geisler and Frank Turek's book called "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" a few times because of its clear explanations of scientific theories.

my bolding


4. Note the pathetic nature of the evidence which the OP will be presenting.

5. Read the responses to the OP on the first page to get some feel of the consensus opinion.

6. Skip to the last page to see how the consensus has altered not changed one whit as a result of the evidence being presented.

7. Draw the obvious conclusion and then post something similar to the following:

In all seriousness, I've followed fair chunks of the thread but I've also missed quite a few thousand posts so I'm not quite sure what Thomas Jefferson quotes or accusations of lying and hypocrisy have to do with the topic at hand.

The accusations of lying and hypocrisy are well founded. Lying and hypocrisy are the only things that could ever have sustained the OP beyond page 1. For the most part, DOC's opponents have tried to avoid such name-calling, but logical discussion is impossible with someone who clings so adamantly to wilful ignorance

Has anything that qualifies as evidence actually been produced?

A great deal of evidence has been produced to show that DOC's opponents are creative, witty, imaginative, talented, erudite and collectively in possession of an awesome body of knowledge.

Evidence for the OP remains non-existant, and only one participant in the entire sorry saga fails to realise this.

"Fewer" tents, but lots of tense people who get tense over bad tense in the text.

Actual, unrefuted evidence that the bible writers told the truth?
none.
But is is clear that you knew this already.

In all seriousness, I've followed fair chunks of the thread but I've also missed quite a few thousand posts so I'm not quite sure what Thomas Jefferson quotes or accusations of lying and hypocrisy have to do with the topic at hand.

Actually, I wish to address this as I have been one of the most vocal in the "DOC is lying" category of posts.

It is unfortunate that such posts are unseemly, but I think by now it is important that punches are no longer pulled. DOC has been politely corrected many times now. DOC no longer deserves politeness. This is an education forum and it is important that false information gets identified as false. If one continues to give false information, that person will be labeled as a liar.
