bible is a religious text
Quite honestly I would rather there be a discussion hall. Being in a debate format implies I am here to fluff up my ego and be "right". Coming to CHRIST, I found how wrong I had been.
@Hugh I have already explained why I do not attached my faith to "Religion". If that is what you desire to call it then that does not offend me.
It seems as though humanity tenaciously desires for all things to fit in the socially accepted boxes. I really do not care about the secular standards of society.
I love me some Jesus =]
So what things outside the bible, collaborate with it?
Re is a prefix meaning "return," and ligare means "to bind;" in other words, "return to bondage." aka religion
The Pharisees were "Religious" and they were the ones that JESUS opposed!
@DrPeper There is a plethra of Historical information that Citizen has shared in this Discord. Physical evidence of the events found in the Bible.
well, no there isnt much really
all the accounts from Roman sources are talking about chrisitians about 100ish after Jesus
theres a helpful link =]
that is the bible supporting Jesus
yea, but also predating Jesus by a few thousand years
but if i was making something else based on Jewish teachings, i would make sure they match up too
@DrPeper I would honestly be a bit skeptical of the information coming from the vantage point of the Roman empire.
its not bad that you are unawres of the bible, theres time to learn, hopefully =]
i asked for things outside the bible
e
outside of the bible is lies, and unverified truths, why would u seek truth outside of the bible?
because if multiple sources go against the bible , why would i trust the one source that is different
you havent showed that it is 100% the truth
the prophecies fulfilled are evidence enough
I think he is looking into texts or information to prove the Bible to be true or false. If he is coming from the perspective of not believing the Bible to be true
Not even Clergy are Biblical inerrantsists
Nobody believes the Bible to be literally true. No one thinks Revelations is literal
i believe the bible to be literally true though, am i a nobody?
You're certainly not in the majority of Christian theology
i could agree hesitantly with that
@Christmas EveryDay I think he is looking for more historical
I believe GODs Word to be the final authority as well as absolute Truth!
Ye what I mean to say is that there are many different ways to interperet any text; there are multiple ways to define truth
Even incredibly important scholars in the Christian tradition to debate what "truth" is.
the bible says Jesus is the truth. Thats what i beliieve
Yeah but what is truth?
You can't really explain what it means for something to be true
