nahh I have other things to do

You should have done those things rather than saying what you said.

The Bible is not for the dead and blind, it's for the living and those who can see.

It takes meditation to get a revelation of what the Bible is talking about, without which, it'll be a story book, hence; useless to you as it is.

The ones you call apologists are the ones who are committed to knowing what the intent of the Word is.

He that Seeketh shall find. Do you know what that means?

Hello *_*

It's been long you've been active on NL, were you on vacation?

Bolaji21:

You're making the Bible say what it did not say. If that's not the case, then I don't see how "sun stand still" equals "sun revolves round the earth".
Astronomy gave us better insight, but these men didn't have this knowledge then. How else were they supposed to record that event?

"Sun stood still", Yes, in the eyes of the onlooker. Even in 21st century, a fellow that hasn't been in a geography class will argue that the sun is revolving round the earth and not otherwise. That's all he can see.

In other words the earth stopped rotating. Lol

The Mod put me in jail for 1 month for posting off topic.
How have you been?

LoL.

Hale and hearty by God's grace.

One month? That's harsh! I dunno what's wrong with NL mods too. I was banned from NL 3
consecutive times in a week to two, without any "reasonable reason." You could imagine that.

Well, that's their cup of tea. Coming online on NL or not isn't my ticket to heaven. I only come here when I'm bored.

So, we are glad to have you back

Thanks dear. And to think we are here making them stay in business.

interesting rebuttals Bolaji and Doctor, you guys are doing a great job


yes I didn't write it , and the source is indicated in the original post, just thought to share.

OliviaPope:
Here are a few examples (by no means all, but perhaps most) of what Christian Pharisees demand that we believe as “inerrant” fact:

source: http://www.extremelysmart.com/insight/mistaken/Bible_errors.php

1.The Earth is a flat disk in shape, like a dinner plate, and rests upon mountain pillars.
◦“It is [God] who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in.” — Isa. 40:22


◦“God has [created the Earth as] a circle on the face of the [chaos] waters [between the Earth and outer space], at the boundary between light and darkness.” — Job 26:10


◦ “I [Lady Wisdom] was brought forth when [God] had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. When [God] established the heavens, I was there, when [God] drew a circle on the face of the deep.” — Prov. 8:26-27


◦ “The devil took [Jesus] to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor” [Matthew 4:8]. (Even from the top of Mt. Everest, it is impossible to see the “kingdom” of Greenland, to cite just one example.)


◦“God shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble.” — Job 9:6

◦“The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astounded at [God's] rebuke.” — Job 26:11

◦“When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I [God] who keep its pillars steady.” — Psalm 75:3

Answer: you have not gone outside the earth to prove the earth is otherwise. Also, the earth seems flat, and more agreeable flat when you think about it, aside what the education institution has thought you.

OliviaPope:
2.The sun revolves around the flat Earth.

◦“On the day when YHWH gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to YHWH; and he [unspecified whether Joshua or God] said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.’ And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in midheaven, and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.” — Joshua 10:12-13

Answer: have you been to the moon or the sun? If not, then everyone has the right to believe whatever they chose. However, if you ever have a good camera, with good focal length. Why not zoom in on the sun ans observe how itit reacts with the earth. You will notice amazing things, amazing things I have. If you think a phone is not good enough, please buy yourself a camera. You will be glad you did so, buy one without fish eyelense. I don't need to tell you what I discovered because your argument doesn't determine whether one survives or not, whether one goes to hell or heaven. You can Google flat earth proofs for yourself too, without the bias of what you have been taught to believe.

OliviaPope:
3.A metal dome,translated the “firmament” in the KJV, separates the sky from the chaos waters beyond. Holes in the metal dome let rain in — in other words, the sky is a giant, upside-down colander.

◦“And God said, ‘Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [of Earth] from the [chaos] waters [of outer space].’” — Genesis 1:6


◦ “[God] walks on the dome of heaven.” — Job 22:14

◦ “Again, on the second day, you created the spirit of the firmament, and commanded it to divide and separate the waters, so that one part might move upward and the other part remain beneath.” — 2 Esdras 6:41




4.The stars are little lights in the sky that are capable of falling to Earth like meteorites.

◦ “Immediately after the suffering of [66-70 C.E.] the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken [Matthew 24:29].”


The Christian Testament's many predictions of the end of the world coming well before 100 C.E. are also erroneous.

Answer: yup, a dome. To refute this, give us proof of someone being in space! I mean not the Hollyeood cooked up movie. We need a live feed. And explain to us how the moon could give objects that are landed on it, shadows. I mean, a bulb shouldn't have a dark spot, and the moon is one.
When you realize that the sun is in the firmament, and that the moon remains mysterious, and that Nasa has not really broken through the belt, then you can understand the possibilities of the stars.
Now, my statements should be discarded if you think it's not true and doesn't deserve your time, or you should do some research and, thinking.

OliviaPope:
5.One day can last 930 years.

◦ “And YHWH God commanded the human, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die’” [Genesis 2:16-17].

The original text makes it clear that God is not speaking metaphorically or spiritually. Isn't it lucky that since death hadn't been invented yet, the human ("ha'adam," pronounced "ha ah DAHM" had no idea what God was talking about!

◦ “When Adam had lived one hundred thirty years, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years.”— Gen. 5:3-4



6.Noah killed off all the okay-to-eat (“clean”) species of animal.

◦“Two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah [Gen. 7:8].

" Almost six weeks of rain pass, 40 days and 40 nights, followed by 150 days of floating; it was the first day of the 601st year of Noah's life [8:13].

“Then Noah built an altar to YHWH, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar,” pleasing God [8:20].

Let's say the whole Flood took seven months. While there may have been some babies for Noah to kill, what about cows (gestation 288 days, about 9.4 months)? Or elephants, which are also okay to eat (gestation 660 days, about 21.6 months)?


Inerrantists argue that Genesis 7:8 is contradicted by 7:2 — that Noah was instructed to take along one pair of unclean animals and seven pairs of clean animals.

They also argue that well over two million animals, 150,000 worms, and countless billions of insects could fit into a box (an ark is a wooden chest) that was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall, and live together without eating each other, or defecating, for a minimum of seven months ( not counting onloading and offloading). They do not explain why God no longer performs this kind of big, flashy miracle — the kind that literal-minded, credulous believers imagine used to happen all the time, to people much less holy (including murderers [like Cain] and committers of incest [like Noah]) and much longer-lived (by hundreds of years) than themselves.

Answer: read the Bible. Clearly you read the ides you wanted, and avoided those you didn't want to; you had a critical thinking about the aide that interested you, foregoing the truth before your nose. When you read the Bible with a critical mind, your answers will be given you.

Jhaytee4all:
I just scanned and went through. . .

Well. . . OP couldn't even demystify a vivid factoid of all this.
I see no error. . . all I see is people joblessly pinpointing
out what they can't decipher!

how did you scan it?

is this a joke?

Bolaji21:

This is clumsy. Kindly help format.


Start with that.

I can see u clearly avoided dealing with the discrepancy in numbers between 2 different passages. U only dishonestly suggested it should be formatted properly. Your evasive maneuver was not unnoticed.

And yes, "this generation"= those sitting around listening. Don't be dishonest.

And seriously, did u just claim the hare isn't an animal we know but an extinct animal? Lying for Jesus doesn't suit u. The levianthan is probably a mythical creature and no extant creature shares that name today. U can't dishonesty claim the hare in the bible is extinct u liar.

I don't usually engage people that find it easy to insult strangers online for whatever reason.
Maybe you didn't read my post well, but I never said the hare is extinct. But the animal translated by KJV as hare is extinct.
Kindly don't mention me.

Another evasive tatic by a liar. Please what's the name of the animal translated as hare in the bible. Or u think the guys who translated the bible doesn't know what a hare is? Also I never claimed u said the hare is extinct. I only pointed out to u that the bible is not in the habit of naming extinct animals with names of animals still living, u liar.

You also dishonestly avoided the other points I raised. Freaking liar. Keep lying, u are amusing me.

if you have nothing meaningful to say to me, i'll suggest you stop stinking up my mentions. and for the record, the article was written by a seasoned theologian and CHRISTIAN so come up with something else, this line is getting old.
