In the period after, for hundreds of years, original writings about the time of Jesus and many times also about Jesus himself were destroyed by the church of Rome. [/ QUOTE ] Okay. Accusation made. Now, do you have anything to support it?

You're assuming that one non-failure in argument allows you to decide that, overall, the christanity is proved. [/ QUOTE ] The original post in this thread gives an extremely detailed response to the charge that the books in today's Bible hardly resemble their original writings. Would you like to explain with the same level of detail how what you just said applies to this thread's OP?

[/ QUOTE ] Oops, I did not intent to make an accusation; I didn't even realize that I posted in a religious thread; a thought it was an historical thread; otherwise I would not have responded. My mistake. Sorry about that; you have my respect, as I respect all believers of all religions; especially the peaceful ones! Double cheers!

[/ QUOTE ] did you delete it and replace it with the one thats there now??? I'm [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] OP reads (bunch of quotes form previous several incarnations of this same thread) - "here are some quotes from an article by tektonics" to which I replied - "here is what I found about tektonics - this debunk site makes lots of sense to me - therefore I am going to ignore everything tektonics says" you replied - "the links you gave were "not topical"" I find this interesting as the debunk site I linked to absolutely trashes tektonics comprehensively and imho is pretty dam topical. It wasn't even hard to find - search google for "tektonics" and it's hit #3... care to take a look at that site again and let me know what you think? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd appreciate your thoughts on it's content.

Re: New Testament Textual Criticisms
txag007 -
Let's say I was willing to spot you an assumption of Biblical inerrancy. What interpretative authority would you then say is necessary to extract Scripture's inerrant doctrines and facts? Just literacy and an open mind? Something more than that?

[/ QUOTE ] Well you see I don't accept things at face value - I go check up on sources before I give what they say any credit. the tektonics source doesn't check out well - hence I place no value at all in anything they say. What would be the point of commenting on quoted bits from a tektonics article if my opinion of tektonics is shall we say "rather low"? you're very good at evading questions...

Are you saying that all Scriptural doctrines and facts follow logically from the pure text? Please expand as much as possible, I would really like to understand this point.
