You're too thorough of a caricature of a fundy. This one gave you away.

Spoof.

The proof was given. No response deems you to be unsaved in your hostility without reason.

But do those same scholars believe that what Paul wrote was true? Members of the Flat Earth Society all believe that the earth is flat, but so what?

Most scholars, skeptical and otherwise, agree Paul wrote it. They don't doubt his excursions and letters written.

We can disprove the earth is flat; you can't even make one argument against Paul's travels corroborated with others like Luke.

Hey Tom - I do have just one question for you..

Would you look up in your bible and explain to me why the day that celebrates the resurrection of your lord is called EASTER?

I've always wondered about that one.

Christians don't celebrate Easter, for there is know known holidays in the NT celebrated.

Jesus did die on Friday, April 1, 33 AD at the age of about 37 and a half

But no proof of God's goodness was given. James says that if a man refuses to give food to hungry people, he is vain, and his faith is dead. In the Irish Potato Famine alone, one million people died because God refused to provide them with food. In addition, no proof of God's true identity was given. Paul says that it is not surprising that Satan masquerades as an angel of light, but there is not any credible evidence that Paul had any way of knowing which supernatural beings tell the truth, and which tell lies. If a supernatural being inspired the writing of the Bible, for all we know, he is masquerading as an angel of light.

Very funny stuff.

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us that his middle name was Horatio.

You may have a point. I was starting to think that these threads were being started by Mods to keep us plebs amused.

I really start to get worried when anyone says:

Surely this can't be by a real person, can it...? Please, please tell me it's a spoof

Actually, it's Hubert. He keeps it quiet because he doesn't want all the other Saviors to tease him.
