Gentlemen,
Permit me to respond please as I have been following this discussion thread off and on for some time and as I recall I have posted to both of you in the past.
You both project a morally superior tone and a belief that
science has somehow dis-proven the Bible. Your problems are anemic to all ~ the universal sinful nature is built upon pride ~ we all would like to have it our own way [even when ‘our way’ changes with the years, months, days or even hours & minutes].
The primary problem is understanding that all of us fallen creatures are spiritually blind and often apply reverse-logic [which is not logic at all] for all our rationalizations and justifications. Now all you really have to do [rather than arguing endlessly w/ any and all who will debate you] is to research truthfully and sincerely to dis-prove the Bible.
Suggestion - start w/ Psalm 22 [right in front of the most famous of all - Psalm 23] and show everyone how Jesus Christ did not fulfill all of these prophecies written approx 1,000 years before his time.
Or show us where the Bible is wrong on the historical record. Or make some ‘improvements’ to the 10 commandments. Or how about living just one day without 1 iota of sin in your actions, your words AND in your thoughts.
I don’t say any of this out of some sense of moral superiority rather I know in my heart I need Jesus Christ b/c on my own I am a sinner the same as all mankind and the wages of sin is death.
Do you not see the prideful arrogance by anyone other than whom you’ve named earlier, on this thread? Why have you not admonished them, if you do see it?
Your honesty in answering this will be a measure of your honesty in your humility claimed in the previous post.
Like what? That the sun doesn't "stand" still for 24 hours? You can't be serious!

And you know that he did how?

You mean like archaeological evidence lacking that the Jews were ever in Sinai, that Exodus never happened? Some pretty leading Israeli archaeologists say it didn't. What say you?

That's your business. Your needs are not the world's needs. Don't judge the world by your own measure.
