Jesus is dead. Words in a an old book mean nothing to me.
You believe that Jesus is dead, you don't know that.
Even your bible says he died. That much I actually believe. I think it's quite likely that a man preaching some of those things was crucified by the romans. Regardless, words in an old book mean nothing to me without empirical evidence.
So that part of the Bible you believe?
Do you also believe the part where it says that Jesus resurrected?
I believe that the bible was based in part on actual events. Few historians argue that Jesus never existed at all. I don't believe he was resurrected because I don't believe in god.
Not believing in the resurrection doesn't mean that there was no resurrection.
I don't believe in it because there is no proof whatsoever. I can believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn till I'm blue in the face but that doesn't make it real. Belief in god (or anything else) is without proof irrational. End of story.
The invisble pink unicorn didn't leave us a Bible with hundreds of fulfilled prophecy, historical reports, wisdom literature, eye witness accounts, did he?
If you are going to quote scripture your first task is to show that the Bible is true and accurate. Can you do that.....other than by 'faith' of course?
....and believing in gods doesn't mean that there are gods.
They are not historical reports. They are not eye witness accounts.
Nor did the Bible! If you want to talk prophecy why not start a thread about it. I'll take you on........but before you do, you need to consider those prophecies that were wrong. Just ONE failed prophecy is enugh to show that the Bible is not accurate and reliable, so you could well be on dangerous ground with this one.
I can give you lots of historical reports, somehow I don't believe you would read up on them.
Give me one failed prophecy.
The historical reports only show that the bible is based in part off real events. There's no reason to read them since I'm not questioning that. If I were questioning that part, i'd read them all.
What is it you are trying to prove with these historical reports?
I'm sure we would....if they come from reliable sources and not just from Bible apologist sites like 'goddidit.org' or 'answersingenisis.com'.
The problem with prophecy is that you can interpret any way you want. Even if you were given an example, you'd likely just twist it around so that you don't have to admit to being wrong (whether this is done consciously or unconsciously I dont know)
There is only one way to interpret prophecy.
That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. You give 10 people one prophecy they will come up with 13 different interpretations.
42, if one of them is me.
Ofcourse, but there will be only one that is biblically correct.
