“If you are referring to the Bible as an ultimate source of all knowledge that a person, or, collectively, humanity needs in order to understand the natural world, then you are barking up the wrong tree.”

Of course, without said Bible having existed, you would most likely be speaking latin, and completely alien to the concepts of Freedom as you know it today.


Of course they have!! It all depends on which VERSION of the Bible you happen to be reading, right?

Ah... and... which version was the first one to hold Proverbs? To mention the demon, Legion? To profess God’s Love for us? I mean... if there have been *drastic* changes, you would surely be able to produce them. Wouldn’t you?


I’m not sure either of us completely gets the other’s outlook either.

Sometimes you just cant bridge some rivers.

But hey, Thompson/Hunter would be a kick-ass team!

(Q)Ah... and... which version was the first one to hold Proverbs? To mention the demon, Legion? To profess God’s Love for us? I mean... if there have been *drastic* changes, you would surely be able to produce them. Wouldn’t you?(/Q)

Here are some to look through:

http://www.biblegateway.com/

*ANY* changes in the Bible introduce a HUGE problem: Which one really IS the correct version of God’s True Word? It is my understanding that there are over 50 versions of the Bible available. It is not possible for me to read through 50 versions of a lengthy book in the next 5 minutes and give you the salient differences. All I need to do to prove my argument is to point out that there are over 50 different, contradictory versions, all of which purport to be the One True Word of God. It is up to YOU to demonstrate to ME why this is not a profoundly serious contradiction. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and all that. Now, I am really going away for today.

PS (Q)Thompson/Hunter would be a kick-ass team!(/Q)
I agree!
