Hi Johnny,

Nope!

Regardless of why you became a Christian, you said that you would give up Christianity if the Babylon prophecy is overturned. Well, I am ready to overturn it. How about it?
How about let's have us a cup of tea first?

Blessings,
Lee <- Not really looking for argumentation right now

Well, you have debated the Tyre prophecy for years at the Theology Web, the Secular Web and elsewhere, but I doubt that you have ever addressed the important and necessary issues of dating and possible revisions. As such, your arguments have never been complete, and I assume that that will always be the case because you know that you cannot address those issues, nor can anyone else. James Holding tried to address the issue of dating at the Theology Web when I brought it up, but he embarrassed himself and quickly gave up debating that issue.

You don't really have a reply? Considering how many times you have embarrassed yourself, I am not surprised.

Yes indeed, and comical too, but not intentionally of course. You obviously have no idea how ridiculous your posts are to skeptics, to undecided people, and to lots of Christians too, including fundamentalist Christians, the Babylon prophecy being a good example. You couldn't even find one in a hundred fundamentalist Christians who agree with your views on the Babylon prophecy, not one in ten million liberal Christians, and not one in one billion Muslims, who are the very people who you have to convince to most.

As always, thanks for the entertainment, Lee. I will credit you for your politeness and your committment to defending Christianity, but I discredit you for your frequent evasiveness regarding your frequent refusal to reply to my arguments. Just when my arguments get the best, you withdraw.

I did note the good resisting of temptation you did there, Mr. Gullwind!

I second this :notworthy: and would like to add that I also respect your avid skepticism- particularly with regards to the Sidonian harbor and the Phoenician wall. I just wish this same kind of skepticism could be focused on other aspects of your beliefs that I think hinder you from being as open to other possibilities as is necessary at times when one approaches something scientifically. Best of luck Lee.
