I also see that you, andy card, are not interested in the truth, but only in your own finite attempts to disprove (using picky and error filled presumptions) what, somewhere inside you, you must surely know to be true.
You are familiar with Scripture, so that you obviously have read some of it, but your only purpose is to pick it apart, and prove how clever you are. ........ You have failed.
The Scripture is full of parables and is filled with very clear scientific facts. There is nothing in it that is not truth, because it is God's word. If you see it as false, it is because you are not able to see because of your own spiritual condition.
I will go back to a point in my post to you, and use a couple of questions that have been around for years.
If you are right, and the Bible is not true, we, who believe it are fools, but our future and our fate will be unaffected. If we are right, and the Bible is true, you will spend eternity in horrible punishment because you have scoffed at the Creator, and not accepted the redeeming Love of His Son, Jesus Christ. Reason will not affect someone like you, whose heart is sealed shut.......only a spiritual awakening to a God who is at this moment, reaching out to you in love.
Sooner or later, you will find out that the Word of God is true. I pray, for your sake, that it is sooner.....rather than later.
Thanks. They think the bible should be written as a book of law, of a scientific textbook. It's not meant for that. It's meant to teach people to know God. If it was written for lawyers or scientists, it would fail in it's mission to teach truth and common sense.
Of course my efforts are finite, you twit. You folks claim that the Bible is the unerring word of a supernatural being. In reality, its just a religious tract, no more inherently truthful than the Bhagavad Gita or the Koran. And what better way to demonstrate that its a creation of bored men and not gods, than to show that its chock full of errors, inconsistencies and falsitudes?
There is nothing in it that is not truth, because it is God's word.
You're telling me that you really believe that rabbits chew their cud?
If you see it as false, it is because you are not able to see because of your own spiritual condition.
Knowledge of the mechanics of rabbits' digestive system is hardly dependent on spiritual enlightenment.

This is the worst argument I've ever read. You're saying that I should start believing in your religion because its safer if it should turn out that your beliefs are correct? What happens if the "One, True Religion" should turn out to be Sikhism, Islam, or Zoroastrianism? There are literally thousands of religions in the world, and if we follow your approach and pick the one least likely to let us wind up in Hell or Hades or whatever, the odds of any particular one being "True" are infintissimally small.

Zeus? Ankhenaten? Baal?

Nonsense, you're not praying for my sake. But thanks for condescending, anyway.
