It's pretty close though to the beginning of your post #940. As you edited that post, can you prove you didn't originally write what X put there between quote marks?
And any chance of a reaction on the Geisler-quoting-Ramsay issue? A retraction of your inane claims and weaseling would be nice.
And any chance of a reaction on the Luke 2:2 translation issue? Either cough up Geisler's reasoning behind his translation and continue the discussion on it, or retract your quoting Geisler and admit you were wrong.

I paraphrased your argument, DOC. For conciseness and to break it down into discrete parts.
Here is what you wrote:
And here is how I paraphrased your argument:
The only thing you could argue is straw-man-ish is the conclusion I stated. You're very careful to state "some evidence for" rather than "therefore the bible is true", but you wouldn't be fooling everyone. We know it's what you're thinking. The logic of your argument is the same as my paraphrase.
And it's incredibly ironic (and not a little hypocritical) of you to accuse someone of not replying directly to your post, given your habit of responding to a snippet of other people's posts while conveniently ignoring all the points they raise that devastate your argument. You should be the last person accusing other people of straw-men and non-replies.

Perhaps you should stop presenting the same, old, many-times-refuted arguments that you've fled from in the numerous posts with which you've littered the Forum over the years and it would help curtail the sheer ennui of the whole futile exercise.
Speaking of which, any progress on the three-days-and-three-nights question?
How about some evidence that Tyre isn't there?
Roman prohibitions of court testimony by women?
Anything at all?

Might you provide (for us relative newcomers) a link to the post where DOC claimed Tyre isn't there? TYVM!

So what that it was over 4 hours later? On several occasions, I have hit the "quote" button on seeing the post, and then tended to other business before ending and submitting my reply.
Furthermore, it's pretty stark of you to demand of others to reply "directly" - in context, that means within 4 hours - to your posts, while you regularly say you will reply in a week, or in 10 days; that is, if you reply at all, for there is a long list of unanswered questions.
So what about the Geisler-Ramsay story?
And what about Luke 2:2?
Any answers forthcoming? Within 4 hours please.

It's about a prophecy in Ezekiel that Nebuchadnezzar would destroy Tyre. See the Incredible odds of fulfilled bible prophecy thread. Here is one post of DOC, and another, where he defends the failed prophecy. But you really should read the whole thread for a good laugh.
I've got news for you: life comes from non-living chemicals every day! Some of the non-living chemicals in the dead banana I had for breakfast are now part of my living cells. So is the salt that was on my potato chip. And last week I grew up some bacteria on a petri plate on chemicals that were never in a living organism before. I even know of people who took non-living nucleotides, made them into DNA and made an infectious virus from it. All life coming from non- life.
Oh, did you mean originally, like 3 billion years ago? Probably by the same fundamental chemical processes we see today. It's not magical, you know!

The second sentence has nothing to do with the first sentence, DOC.
We know that billions of people have existed, any of which could be the "Suffering Servant" in Isaiah 53.
If you take the text literally then we are talking about a really ugly man (Isaiah 52:14 "his visage was so marred more than any man") who lived over 2500 years ago, i.e. before Isaiah was written. This person lived a long time and had children (Isaiah 53:10 "he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his day").
That man was silent durring his opression and affliction
Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
Jesus did not keep his mouth closed.

As ddt says, you really need to read the whole thread to get the most out of the story, but I hasten to assure you that it's not as onerous a task a it might at first seem.
A great many of us worked together and ended up doing a pretty fair job of making it a quite educational and entertaining experience, in spite of DOC's contibutions.
Your post is not related to the prophecy evidence we were talking about, but in answer to your off topic question, No, it would be the Jesus who condoned the punishment of a servant who beat several women and several men in a parable.
If what you said was accurate, you have to wonder why
"Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. {a preacher who published a book of his sermons} was born on 15 January 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia to a long line of preachers. His father, Martin Luther King, Sr. was a pastor for the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. His maternal grandfather, the Reverend Adam Daniel Williams, was famous for his fiery sermons. His great-grandfather, Willis Williams, was a slave-era preacher.
The above is from the article: Ancestry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr by K. Powell - text in brackets added.

JOHN 19:7-11 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” 8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?” 11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
