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
Mitty, my point there is nothing from around the time that supports the bibl
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
=]
im just trying to play nice
I found that whatever "ist" glasses you look through will be the way one interprets scripture and hence the reason behind so many false belief systems.
Yeah, but a conversation on whether or not something is true is useless if two people cannot agree on what it means to be true. So you and DrPeper will have to E P I S T E M O L O G Y
Ovtherwise it'll be hopelessly circular
GOD resists the proud and gives Grace to the humble. If one comes to the scriptures arrogantly then they will see through a legalistic lens. If one comes humbly then GOD Graciously gives the ability to see Truth. The Word of GOD is alive!
It's how you analyze historic documents
You look for things that support it
With all due respect you're both spouting some shite
Looking for historical arguments for theology is futile to say the least
Try to rely on the anointing of the holy spirit to teach us
Ey mate I'm not saying anything about Christianity. I'm just saying these claims border upon the nonsensical
well if the world was able to understand, then the world would understand. right?
Yes
some things are spiritual, and cannot be understood physically.
