Another no content, no information post that's out there to speak for itself by heating up the attack the messenger mode.

I guess we all know what that means . . .

I'm sure it will be down to his usual standard.

Please note that I've edited my post since you quoted it. I made a boo-boo with the spelling of "disregarding" but the stupid server was having spasms and I couldn't correct it in time.

(snipped)And all of this can be considered some evidence for the truth of the NT because it shows how the power of the gospel can transform the life of a poor brokenhearted slave into becoming a great man who met Lincoln and became the most well known black man in America. Also Martin Luther King's grandparents were slaves and his father and grandfather were ministers like he was.

Could phony gospels written by liars 2000 years ago have had this kind of power to help produce these great men out of broken hearted poor slaves?

Yes, of course.
But the point isn't whether they were liars, DOC, but whether they wrote the truth.
Luke's census, the varied geneologies of Jesus, the forged yet canonic Epistles, the contradictions between Luke's and Paul's version of when the meeting between Paul and the Apostles took place, the last words of Jesus, the list goes on of elements which show the lack of truthiness in the NT.
Isn't it time you posted some evidence defending your OP?

What's weird about it? Seems straightforward to me. You think an abolitionist would support you, yet you have expressed support for slavery. Care to comment?

Slavery is on topic? What does that make about 50 slavery posts now? That's why a moderator made you form another thread on this topic which died out when I quit posting in there. I noticed your policy is to lay low for awhile and then bring the topic back when you think people have forgot. Oh, well, its your reputation.

Slavery is not immoral if the alternative is starving which is why many people in biblical times voluntarily sold themselves into slavery to pay their debts. Joobz wants the people of that time to run before they could walk. Society takes time to change.

You've already stated you believed the armies of that time should let prisoners of war go free rather than make them slaves. Joobz you are not realistic about that time, place, culture and economy in the brutal Roman occupied land. And Paul did say slaves were equal before God which was light years ahead of the thinking of that time.

I don't know what's more laughable, DOC - that you deem a request for a comment on something that you've already said to be an attack or that you consider yourself to be a messenger.

The one on the left is wearing a hat.


What do I win? Evidence, maybe? Someone must have some somewhere, right?

And if it became world famous that would prove it true.:bricks::bgrin:

No, not really. A short summary of an earlier post, and also one explanatory enough for Akhentaten and zooterkin to figure out my meaning.

For the record, because you seem to have forgotten, you posted the following:

DOC said:
I wish famous Civil War era escaped slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglas was alive to back me up against you guys. He wanted everyone converted to Christianity.

And I replied:

What on earth makes you think an abolitionist would back someone who has argued in favour of slavery?
Click to expand...

Please note that the words "in favour" are link to an earlier post of yours.



So DOC...

Why do you think an abolitionist would support you?
He may not support us heathen hordes, but I rather doubt he'd want to have anything to do with you, either.

And once you've done explaining that, perhaps you could explain why you thought Frederick Douglass' religious convictions were evidence for the New Testament being truth.
