That's a pretty strong statement. What evidence do you have for it being 'made up'? Perhaps I am misunderstanding what 'made up' means. Could...
I don't know where he gets it, either. For very different look at Revelation and its interpretation, consider partial preterism (explained...
When people die, they go to sheol, the realm of the dead. There is a great chasm (possibly a real chasm... most likely it is metaphorical) between...
I will have to disagree with Campbell on this one, and on the entire line of argument for two reasons: 1) OT prophecy fulfillment (true or...
Yes and no. We do have the Synod of Hippo that details the canonized books. We also have what some of the early church fathers wrote about it....
Ummm... when have I dodged? And when have I used the argument from silence? And even if I did, does that somehow excuse you from backing up your...
Even if it is, you are not excused from answering. Oh yeah, its ad hominem too. Nice dodge! Yes, I realize that. What was the reaction of...
I found this (though I am not sure if I agree or not). Anyway, I thought it might provide insight. "Or perhaps “turn this man over to Satan...
But there was not a single question or doubt as to the 4 Gospels nor any of the Pauline epistles. So in one way it was a vote (for the few...
Seriously dude, you have one guy posting an abstract and from that you are dogmatically asserting that it is the truth that Bethlehem isn't where...
Who is the scientific one? You or me? I missed to whom you were referring. Sorry to disappoint, but most of the people throughout the...
Wow. Let's talk about sweeping generalizations. What evidence (and no, personal anecdotes, no matter how many you have are NOT evidence) do you...
There were more than just Jews in Israel. It was a trade center for the Near-Eastern world (and it still is). I don't think we are told that it...
Fair enough. Here are a few books that could be of assistance. I have not read them, but they all have information that relates to the borrowing...
Heron, you might want to check your sources. Cumont asserted that there was continuity between Iranian Mithraism and Roman Mithraism. There...
It sure seems that way. The more I learn, the more I tend to agree with what you are saying (in a sense). While I do not think they need to...
Remember that we were talking an understanding of the punishment (death). My argument is that Adam presumably at least understood death...
Wait. I never asserted that he did have the experience. As you say, there is no evidence either way. What we have is the text itself and the...
This is conjecture. You assert that there was no death at all before the Fall. That nothing could die (not even plants). I make no assertion...
Eternal torture, no. But torment? Yes. Utter anguish. This is beyond mere embarrasment, this is having all honor stripped. Remember, honor is...
