Didn't really have to, they just reinforce the already existing early versions of hebrew text.

Since nobody ever wins these arguments, how about showing me that Hinduism is any better?

Oops, you caught me But I bet if I got really high that it could happen.

Can you tell us what he said, exactly? This is not sarcasm, I posted a lengthy thread a while back trying to get a cohesive explanation of how believers experience speaking to God.

Did he actually sit you down one night and take you through a point by point explanation of history?

Which version of the Bible did he favour as more accurate: the King James version? The Jerusalem Bible? The Book of Mormon? Did he include the Apocrypha in his discussions? The dead sea scrolls? How did he feel about mistranslations from the greek in the King James, Jerusalem, Good News, et al, versions of the bible?

One more thing, did he endorse the Catholics or the Protestants? If the protestants, which ones?

Badfish

Yeah, but are they accurate? And are they accurately dated? Got proof?



I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, it guides me on my walk with Christ.

Spaz

Better? We're atheists/agnostics, they're all equal to us

Demigawd

Yeah, right.

Actually, you lost a long time ago when you decided to relie on the argument "it's true because it's true".

Badfish

I shouldn't have put in terms of winning, as your everlasting soul is not a game.

Badfish, what I'm asking is what does the holy spirit tell you, that the protestants or the Catholics are right?

I mean, half the protestant churches don't believe in biblical inerrancy and the Catholic church not only sees it as part myth but accepts both the Big Bang and evolution. Could you clarify and qualify?

We're at risk of going seriously off topic here. Please don't answer that. The question was not "How do you validate your belief?" it was "How do you,by extension, invalidate others?"

Demigawd

Yeah, the work of honest scholars. You know, people who actually explore and analyze the world around us rather than sit back and claim that a myth is Truth.

How can you "feel" a conversation? Is God's words satiny or rough? Can you smell God too?

Demigawd

Delmar: For that, you traded your everlasting soul?

Tommy: Well, I wasn't using it.

-O Brother! Where Art Thou?

Perhaps I shouldn't have brought up that movie quote, as your claim of an actual existence of an everlasting soul have no basis beyond your cult's indoctrination.
