Helped me to get a lot of amusement.

And as I pointed out earlier, don't let the door slam on you on your way out.

More seriously, anyone wishing to bet on when Gospelog2 will return?

They were not miracles in the sence of their natural explanations, but in terms of their timing, they were most miraculous.
Okay, so they cut all mention of the disaster from the records...for one second, I'll accept that.

However...we are talking about a people that were nearly manic about writing everything down. So...where is the bit about replacing the pharoh that suddenly went missing? There is also a remarkable lack of any notes about the extra expense of having to raise, train, and equip the replacements for the army that was with the pharoh at the time. They just manage to whipe all traces of that, too?

There is a far better question, though; there was another culture around at the time who were also writing everything down. The Chinese. I wonder how the Tower of Babel and the flood escaped their attention, especially since they were technically supposed to be present at the former?

Basicly, what I'm saying is...there seem to be some serious questions (and those are just two historical ones...let's not go into the scientific, eh?) about the reliability of the bible. If it can't get the very occurance of a major disaster right, how can it be trusted for anything else...like, say, that it is a holy book at all?

Except you, you satan. You have made hell for yourself, do not blame us for your choices of a self-indulgent lifestyle which destroyed your mind :boohoo:

Why can`t forgiveness be attatained through helping others? Accepting a dead guy as your saviour seems too easy and insincere.

So if we go to Christian forums, will we become Christians as well? I`m not saying your beliefs are a disease, but it doesn`t work like that.

Troy, I was looking around your site and at the top of the page you link to a chain mail called God's Love. It has the title "THIS IS BEAUTIFUL ......AND YOU WILL CRY..."

Not only didn't I cry, I laughed at the silliness of it... at first. Then I got pissed. What a horrible story. Can you not see the awfulness of this story? Ugh. If this is what keeps you believing, I don't think you'll have much success "helping" us here.

In that case, I suggest he borrow a blindfold from one of his followers.

That's it. I'm becoming a born again Christian.

Gospelog2's well thought out arguments and rational inquiries aimed solely at the truth have put me onto the winning team. Thank you. I shall forever be indebted to you. No. I shall ever be indebted to the Lord Jesus Christ he who died at Golgotha and rose again to redeem the fallen masses of their blood guilt.

Oh, praise the Immortal he who shall not be named. Dawn of the rosy fingers has delivered my soul from the darkest of nights. Oh, pity he the worthless sinner who shields his eyes from the glory of the One True Being Made Being In Its Perfection. Oh, rejoice and be thankful to the Prince of Peace, whom poets praise and prophets ponder.

...

The Day of the Lord is coming in fiery glory, for the Shaper of the Ages has "cut the string" as the pagans and barbarians used to say and it is the cup of each man to bear what lot Ananke has assigned to him. Strike! Strike! In the night, Old Nick feints the Archangels who lie in wait under the guidance of the Lamp of the Lamenter and the Sword of the Saint. Heed my warning ye libertines, and thou shalt escape the wrath of the Divine. You who have sold your souls to the Prince of Air in the dark woods where goblins and trolls lurk. You with your witchcraft, your upside down crosses cast in the image of "reason". Conjure up your magical spells now, but the Sustainer of Jerusalem has already cast you out from Heaven's gates! Repent! Tear thy robes and beat thy breast! Wail into the night! Beg of thee who formed thy flesh to weep a single tear on your rotting carcasses and bury you in shallow graves in the Shadow of Eden. The DAY OF THE LORD COMES LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT!

You will mock me because I appear to thee in the garb of the prophet, holding the staff of Jeremiah and filled with the Holy Ghost of He Who Is. You think of me as a "Cassandra" a feeble woman, more manic than mantic (Btw, I'm a dude ). But I shall pray for you all in hopes that you pathetic beggar's devoid of Christ's bread might find some peace in this life, to prepare you for the tortures of the next.

I bid thee farewell.

According to Matthew 25:31-46, it can be. It's odd that evangelical and fundamentalist Protestants so rarely quote that passage except to rip verses 34 ("Come, ye blessed of my Father ....") and 41 ("Depart from me ....") out of context.
