I have a question, can you stay on topic? I said if you don’t believe the stories in the bible, doesn’t the rest off it become suspect as well?So what I'm asking is if we're discovering that large swaths of the bible can't be true, how does what people are quoting Jesus as saying not become suspect as well? I know, you're going to quote the bible to prove the bible, which is ludicrous. But nobody was following Jesus around writing it all done, and the earliest texts are dated to several generations after the facts, to me it just doesn't seem all that credible.
Maybe you should try another approach other than punching holes in the stories?
The OT is called the Torah, instruction. When reading it try to learn what the instruction is. The NT is called the Good news. Try to learn what the good news is.
Yes, the bible is just a book of books.
If you were given an assignment by a teacher to write a book report on the story of the Pied Piper, would you submit a report with one sentence that says there is no proof that he ever existed?
If you did you would fail, right?
Any questions?
Yes. Of course. You have to separate the wheat from the chaff and the only way to do that is to think deeply about the subjects.
It is very cute to see you try to take your first wobbly steps...
