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

[joobz]

Joobz you're hopeless.

Another no information, attack the messenger post.

I know when I hit something important when I get this response.

 

[joobz]

He has seen the evidence of 9 bible translations that use the word servant and not slave but he won't accept it, and thus is hopeless.

So, if I said:
"And the bible also says that it's ok to beat bond-servants. Yeah for the bible!!!"

That would make it acceptable?

 

[Lothian]

Because I wasn't there when Christ rose from the dead. But there is historical evidence that He did.

Ok. Let us see historical evidence that Christ rose from the dead as described in the N.T.

What? You haven't been able to gleen that from any of DOC master opii? Does he have to re-write all eleventy million posts in this forums? Youre just unreasonable,

Not a million just 70 times 7....

 

[kmortis]

How many posts has DOC written about heaven?
Kmortis thinks it's a million times eleven
jooba says "Oh, no way
in that you're wrong to say,
It's really seventy times seven."

So, why are there still kittens??????

Cats must breed a lot faster than I thought.

Nah, you're just lying again.

And I don't know for sure when I get in an elevator on the 20th floor that it is going to give me a safe ride but I have faith it will, and I also have some evidence it will.

Yes, there is a lot of statistical evidence for elevator safety. You have ZERO evidence of ANY kind for your garbage. See the difference?

Oh, so it's OK to beat servants then? Gotcha... Wait, that changes nothing about the nature of your god and your bible.

I'm doing my part to get rid of them...

No there is not, it is only in the bible.

But when the physician and gospel writer Luke wrote the parts of his works dealing with history, Sir William M. Ramsay called him one of the world's great historians. It is only a supernatural bias that keeps some from accepting the other supernatural information this great historian wrote about.

And as I have said, it doesn't even make sense for Christianity to be in existence to the extant it is without the Resurrection being true (since the Resurrection is the main focal point of Christianity). So the historical fact that it is in existence to the extant it is, is some historical evidence for the truth of the resurrection.

Luke's hearsay story is not evidence and your lies about Ramsay's does not change your misquote.

Your illogical opinion is irrelevant and completely falsified.

No.

Yes, there is, but people still get injured in elevator accidents, and people still get injured and killed in plane accidents in spite of statistical evidence for their safety. That is why you need faith whenever you use them -- faith they will work. So skeptics probably exhibit faith every day without realizing it.

And post 11054 is not Zero evidence in spite of yours, Joobz' and Hok's opinion. I think it hurts the credibility of some skeptics to say post 11054 is Zero evidence. I might understand you saying, well it is some evidence, but it is not enough for me to believe. But to say it is zero evidence shows me some skeptics have a bias in spite of the facts, and are afraid to admit any evidence at all.

Round and round and round we go. The louder you scream, the faster we go.

So the historical fact that it is in existence to the extant it is, is some historical evidence for the truth of the resurrection.

I thought you claimed to have taken a course in logic? This is so utterly, utterly nonsensical I suspect that the logic course was taught by a tutor who spoke only one language, and that was one which you do not speak.

Circular reasoning > see Reasoning, circular.
Reasoning, circular > see Circular reasoning

Having faith in the collective expertise and certification process that keeps elevators running, of the engineering and building trades, is not like having faith in God. This would seem obvious.

And my mom called her dog the best dog in the world! It must be true then!

Argument from incredulity combined with argumentum ad populum? Really? Is that all you've got at this stage? Pathetic.

Oh, and there are approx. 2.2 billion Christians divided in thousands of sects versus 1.6 billion Muslims divided only in hundreds, maybe. This fact alone tells tales about your utter failure of presenting evidence for anything other than your own incompetency and dishonesty.

Obvious to anyone with an understanding of the meanings of the words 'faith' and 'evidence'.

I went back to post 11054, DOC If that is the best evidence you have, I am unsurprised that you are considered by some readers of this thread to be a powerful force for deconversion.

 

[paximperium]

False equivocations are the weaseling techniques used to make faith seem reasonable when in fact it is a completely unsubstantiated belief.

It is very sad that DOC is so ashamed of faith.

I'm sorry. Your opinion about the opinions of other more knowledgeable and honest posters here is irrelevant and wholly discredited. Your negative credibility is not only worthless, it actually adds to the credibility of those you are criticizing.

That's not faith. That's common sense. The probability of me being injured in an elevator accident or plane crash is too low for me to avoid them. Heck, I even drive to work and that's far worse than those two combined.

OK, it has some evidence. Actually, a lot of evidence. Of your ignorance and dishonesty. Other than that, ZERO.
