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

Thanks, Zooterkin. I didn't see "me" - my alphabetical orderizations is not so good today.

No problem; it was an excuse to post the list again, slightly increasing the chances of DOC actually noticing it. He seems curiously blind on occasion, and can completely miss some posts even when they are in large and coloured type.

What, like this one?

Thanks to you Rincewind, I couldn't be bothered to trawl through years of posts to find the 'Author' of the question. I have had a friendly warning for asking the same question repeatedly though. So I am never going to ask:
DOC, HOW DID SIMON THE ZEALOT DIE?

I promised that I wouldn't ask the question again, so I won't. I'd still love to know the answer though,

BACKED UP WITH EXTRA-BIBLICAL EVIDENCE.

But since I'm not allowed to ask the question, DOC will be free to carry on being a liar, a fraud and by his religion's standards, condemned for all eternity to be shunned from the gates of heaven!

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

Why, yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of. Thank you for the example!

By the way, how did Simon The Zealot Die?

It think it's just possible that he's not going to answer.

It think it's just possible that he's not going to answer.

The answer would force him in the bad position to either admit he was wrong , or even, god forbid, force him in a position where he would have to revisit his premise and hypotheses.

So yeah, he is never ever going to answer.

Could this be why this thread is so long?

[Rincewind]

Oh. My. Whatever.

I'm a bit nervous about claiming credit for introducing the demise of Simon, 'cos I may have been prompted by another poster into doing the research.

However - if it was me - then all I can say is...

What on Earth have I created here?

Thanks to you all for taking a simple enquiry to surreal lengths!

Awesome!

And - if necessary, thanks to whoever triggered my research....

Folks, do let's try to stay on topic. Also, let's refrain from posting naughty pics.

So, DOC, any indication of when we're going to be seeing some kind of meaningful response from you?

It seems that there are several outstanding questions remaining.

 

[amb]

Yes: including " how did Simon The Zealot: die?

 

[Akhenaten]

Yes: including " how did Simon The Zealot: die?

Now that you mention it, yes, I believe that may be one of them.

 

[DOC]

What does that say about your faith?
After all, you've used messed up*, out of kilter*, immoral thinking** to support christianity?

Give 3 examples of illogical thinking in my 2300 posts.

Post #1

Reason #1 The New Testament Writers Included Embarrassing Details About Themselves.
For example some passages portray the disciples as dim-witted, uncaring, and cowards.

Reason #2 The New Testament Writers Included Embarrassing Details and Difficult Sayings of Jesus
For example in one passage someone call Jesus a drunkard, and in another He was called demon-possessed, another a deceiver.

Reason #3 The NT Writers Left in Very Demanding Sayings of Jesus.

For example: (Matthew 5:28) "I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart".

And (Matt. 5:44-45) "I tell you Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...

As the book says "They certainly didn't make up a story that made life easier for themselves."

There ya go.

Now, how did Simon the Zealot die?

How did Simon the Zealot die?

 

[zooterkin]

Snap!

 

[DOC]

Well it's been asked how did "Simon the Zealot" die. I don't know how this relatively obscure apostle died but just the fact he is written about can be considered evidence the NT writers told the truth because it doesn't make sense to give someone the same name as the lead apostle Simon Peter. If I wrote a book about some fictional football offense I wouldn't name the quarterback Ted and name the wide receiver Ted also.

 

[Akhenaten]

Snap!

Great minds, Dude.

Well it's been asked how did "Simon the Zealot" die. I don't know how this relatively obscure apostle died . . .

Get back to us when you've done your due diligence then.
