It is ordinary, that regular intervals - generally before large celebration of holydays - statements comes out such as "Researchers suspect about the historical of the Bible." .. or "miracles as a matter of fact has not taken place." Let's say, how the Bible is not reliable in those matters, from which it tells.



However, anything new these kinds of statements are not, just those has been presented already almost time of two hundred year. Actually is interesting to state, that simultaneously as evolution theory and ice age theory of Darwin came to the knowledge of the people, started also so said higher criticism against the Bible. Into view started to come researchers, which started to put question about life of the Jesus and other events which are connected to the Bible. In that they perhaps thought about, that if creating and the flood have not true in the light of previous theories, so what reason we have to believed to those information about Jesus. So certainly is not any accident, that these all three matters became apparent almost simultaneously.



In any case it is good to look over a bit to this area. It is good examine, it is worth to trust to the statements of the current liberal researchers or there, what the successors of Jesus wrote from Him. In other words it is good get clear root of the faith, so that the faith is not empty faith

My advice is to learn better English before printing an English page. If you want, I can send you a cleaned up version so it doesn't sound so elementary and unlearned.

To Chris:

Better yet, just go ahead and translate it. I'd like to know what it all means.

Chris Weimer

Often at regular intervals - generally being before large holidays - magazines, newspapers, and television specials usually release headlines like "Researchers are suspect about the historicity of the Bible" or "scientists conclude that miracles actually did not take place.

However, these statements are not new. In fact, this higher criticism of the Bible really came out about the time Darwin came out with his theory of evolution. It was a dawn of scientific inquiry that carries over to this day. As we know that creationism is false, so should we also keep questioning the validity of the Bible.

In any case, it is good to keep examing and researching in this area. It is good that we listen to the current liberal researchers. In other words, it is good to get to the root of faith so that we have not empty faith.

I think that Petri is saying that we should not just trust the liberal researchers because their 'discoveries' conveniently coincided with the ascent of more secular views, such as Darwinian evolution, and that instead we need to go to the sources themselves for a solid faith. Note the thread title, expressing incredulity.

I dunno Peter, I think the last statment was pretty indicative, though I do admit it was wholly confused. :P

The last thread this poster started.

I think this is a drive by evangelist trying to save our souls, but without the linguistic skills to do more than spam the boards.

So it's off to ~E~

"It is good examine, it is worth to trust to the statements of the current liberal researchers or there, what the successors of Jesus wrote from Him." --> "It is good to examine, is it worthy to trust the statements of the current liberal researchers, or instead what the successors of Jesus wrote of Him."

Awmte

To the best of my knowledge, Darwin proposed no "ice age theory". He was fairly influenced by Lyell's theory, but proposed none of his own.
Scientific knowledge increases, society progresses. What's the problem?
