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.

Sure, but you don't need to rely on the Spirit to explain Christian theology

You can - you just don't have to; and something tells me, DrPeper ain't gonna accept the spiritual.

the bible says dont rely on your own understanding, theres that to consider.

The trinity is very important to Christianity

To rely on God's
