alcuin: A book of fables. How can someone believe in the tower of babel? If God was so pissed with men that sought to build a structure to reach the sky, I wonder what he will do modern space scientist.

The world was flooded in 40 days by rain? Today rain falls for over 100 days in some pacific islands.

Virgin birth Now seriously, if ur wife approaches u today and tells u that she's pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit, would u believe.

How can a reasonable person believe in a book whose writers never saw what are writing about. Paul never saw Jesus. Matthew, John, Mark, Luke are pen names of unknown writers.

Pauls case is more interesting. Can u imagine Adolf Hitler after killing millions of Jews, taking a stroll to Berlin and said he has changed and started writing Jewish scriptures and expect the Jews to take me seriously?

Let me stop here
He still does it.God doesn't work in a conventional ways to please human reasoning but to make human foolish in their thinking.

In these days of ebola, it is interesting to note that the bible has recommended medical procedures like quarantine and hygene way back in time (Leviticus 13:46), The Bible is not a science text but it has accurately explained the shape and suspension of the earth when men have yet to go into space (Isaiah 40:22, Job 26:7) The Bible is also ahead of its time by accurately explaining the water cycle (Eccl 1:7).

The strongest and wisest man in the bible is Jesus Christ himself. St. Paul in 1st Corinthians 1: 25-26 called him the wisdom and power of God. He then went on to say; 'For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.'

patostation: The only book that has accurately foretold the the future, and whose prophecy about the future continues to be reliable. Its prophecy about the fall of Babylon, about Cyrus, Jesus' birth, birthplace, death, resurrection etc are accurate beyond belief.

It is the only book that has given an unmatched insight about how we came about and where we will end up. It explains the future of mankind and where we are in the stream of time. It equally explains the condition of the dead and the hope they have

It is the best book that can change a person's life.

The bible can not accurately tell future. The bible and other "holy books" are scripts that are been followed thereby making it seem like its predicting the future.

As expected from a book from God, the Bible has given an unmatched practical wisdom and insight in matters such as child rearing, role of husbands and wives, family happiness, business relationships, personal plans, how employers should treat employees, good work ethics, how widows and orphans should be treated, why laziness is detrimental, how to treat the elderly etc (Eph 6:4, Prov 23:12-14, Prov 22:6; Eph 5:21-33, Col3:13,14; Lu 14:28-30; Col 3:22-24, Col 4:1; James 1:27; Prov 6:6-11).

The Bible itself says something interesting about those who say God does not exist (Ps 14 and 53) Ro 1:20 says that after seeing all of God's creations including yourself, that you have no excuse not to believe in him. Heb 3:4 concludes that if someone built the house you live, then you should not question who made the universe, the cells, the DNA, the elements and you yourself.


Regarding prophecy, I'll tell you the one fulfilling now: 2Pet 3:3,4 (ridiculers); 2Tim 3:1-5 (blasphemers and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God); Luke 21:10,11/Revelation 6:1-8 (plagues and pestilence incuding ebola, increased strife earthwide).

For those who claim they don't believe in God, we know what they always do when they are sick, in danger or when they are about to die. They usually but belatedly cry for God's intervention: "God pls help me", "God pls help my wife to deliver safely", "God heal me of this sickness", "God...God...God..."

DonaldGenes:


Literally, if I get you well, On your mind, you expect The Almighty God to come down and sit your butt down to teach you how to rear a child or how employers should treat employees?


As an 'educated' person, I believe you used a sort of book to learn: how to be a lawyer, how to be a doctor, how to be an engineer etc. If you were able to get your "knowlege" from what the authors wrote without meeting those authors physically, I expect you to use your intellect similarly regarding whatthe Bible teaches on child upbringing, business, relationship with others. If you want me to spell it out, YOU CAN READ GOD'S BOOK WITHOUT GOD COMING DOWN TO SEE YOU IN YOUR HOUSE.

A book of fables. How can someone believe in the tower of babel? If God was so pissed with men that sought to build a structure to reach the sky, I wonder what he will do modern space scientist.

Stop poking holes in your argument Bros. The context of the story of the towel of babel never stated God was pissed - get your facts straight. Also, the earliest manuscripts of the new testaments are available for anyone interested in investigating if there accounts are historical accurate or not. Fable is Santa Clause and Father Christmas Bros. Fable is BigFoot and the genie in Aladin's lamp.

The world was flooded in 40 days by rain? Today rain falls for over 100 days in some pacific islands.

Your argument is similar to saying "You were born handsome but when you grew up, girls were not attracted to you". You can't argue from unrelated events.

Virgin birth Now seriously, if ur wife approaches u today and tells u that she's pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit, would u believe.

I probably won't. Her spouse Joseph didn't either. The uncertainty was cleared up when an angel appeared to Joseph and explained what happened.

How can a reasonable person believe in a book whose writers never saw what are writing about. Paul never saw Jesus. Matthew, John, Mark, Luke are pen names of unknown writers.

Hahaha - another hole in your argument. You never saw Albert Einstein but it relativity theory is the corner-stone of physics. You never saw Alexander Graham Bell yet he is the inventor of the telephone. You can't and don't see the radio waves that travel through the air and displays on your TV yet it happens.

Pauls case is more interesting. Can u imagine Adolf Hitler after killing millions of Jews, taking a stroll to Berlin and said he has changed and started writing Jewish scriptures and expect the Jews to take me seriously?

Are you saying you have never done anything wrong and sincerely felt sorry about what you did and apologized for it?

Let me stop here

Please go on Bros
