You were the one who claimed that these books explained something. I
didn't see any logical explanations in these books. Please post the
explanations that you claim exist in these books.
_You_ made the initional claim. Now you are trying to shift the burden
of
proof to me. In this way you hope to weasel out of your burden.
Okay, I'll give it a try. But I have no expectation of changing your
mind, neither do I expect to influence you to accept the Bible or
alter your invective railing against it.
My objective is to show that the Biblical portrayal of the law
is internally logical and especially to show that my view of the law
and the two covenants are Biblically based.
1) why the law was _given_ in the first place,
Laws almost always come as the consequences of some
antisocial behavior or *evil doing*: i.e. after some activity was
carried out which resulted in harm to another person or theft
or destruction to his property.

The background for the law comes from the Old Testament.
God was not happy with man because of man's wickedness,
indeed we find this in Genesis, "The Lord saw that the
wickedness of man was great upon the earth and that every
imagination of the thoughts if his heart was only evil
continually".And the Lord was sorry he had made man
on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. (Gen.
6: 5, 6 rsv). Other versions say it repented God that
he had made man....
So apparently, the adding of the law was not God's
preferance. But it was needed.

The reason the law was given, in the first place was:
because of wickedness. However, its purpose was
to guide man his dealings with God and his fellow man.
But the law had a second purpose. a - two fold
function: it had a mundane and a spiritual side.
Logic dictates that a perfect God would decree a
perfect law. The Bible confirms the perfection of
the, "the Law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the
soul.... (Psa. 19: 7).

If a man lived in perfect and complete obedience to
the perfect law he himself would be perfect. But we
are imperfect! We are unable to be always in perfect
obedience to the law. Even if we did so, this would
not bring reward. The law was _not_ inaugurated to
bring reward.
This is understandable because in societies, civil laws
do not bring reward. If one does not steal, murder nor
commit perjury etc. He is not rewarded for being good
or living in obedience to civil laws.
But if you violate the same laws, there is a penalty to be
paid.
2) what the consequences of transgression are
Where the law is violated, a penalty is to be exacted.
This holds true in civilized society: assuming
the perpetrator is caught. One may rob a bank, kill a
bystander or a clerk and occasionally a criminal gets
away with it. But this is also a transgression of the
law of God; a penalty will be exacted by God, and
there is no getting away with it. We are disturbed when
this happens and no one is ever caught. Our sense of
justice demands retribution. But sometimes this doesn't
happen - not in this life.
3) why a new covenant was given where salvation
is based upon faith and the grace of God, rather
than the law.
I addressed this earlier. The reason the law was given
was _not_ because mankind was righteous, but because
of his evil nature. Man, the second party to the first
covenant broke the covenant, transgressed the laws
and lived estranged from God. IOW the law _could_
not bring salvation, Sin is a transgression of the law.
And everyone sins. But sin cannot enter into heaven.
The New Covenant took away the law for righteneous.
We no longer stand in judgement through the law.
The New Covenant brought about salvation through
Grace.
4) Why the law of God called a curse.
The law came not as an instrument to enable
man to earn his way into heaven. The law was
decreed because of unrighteneous in man. Yet
once establisned, it became our standard of
measure - a yeardstick by which we are measured.
Since the law describes a perfect man, we fall
short of the law. And the sinner is judged in
terms of the law. If we violate even one
commandment we are guilty of all.
James writes: And the person who keeps all
of the laws, but one is as guilty as the person
who has broken all of Gods laws. (James 2: 10)

If one choses to live under the law he must
live them each and every one of them. The
law a curse, because those who rely upon
the law for justification are those who chose
to live under the law are under are subject to
the condemnation that is in the law.

"For all who rely on works of the law are under
a curse; for it is written Cursed be every one
who does not abide by all things written in the
book of the law, and do them.
Now it is evident that no man is justified before
God by the law for he through faith is righteous
shall live....
The law doesn not rest on faith, for he who
does them shall live by them.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law..."
(Gal. 3: 10 - 13)

"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone who believes." (Rom. 10: 4)
"I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if
righteneous comes by the law, then Christ is
dead in vain." (Gal.2: 21)

"The law was our school master to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come we are no longer
under a schoolmaster. (Gal.3: 24,25)
From these and other verses it is obvious that
what I have written if based upon the Bible
and from the Biblical perspective this is
internally logical and factual.
I just want you to post these explanations so
that we can examine them to > see if they are
logical or not.
Fine, I hope you read read everything and respond
honestly and forthright rather than try to make a
caricature of it.

perfect. So why are you complaining about me quoting the OT laws? Many of
these laws are quite evil.

NO, I'm not! I wrote that _logic_ would dictate that God

who agreed with me. But these revelations were a fragmented
version of revelations. I have already quoted Hebrews: I
guess you forgot,"For since the law has but a _shadow_ of
the good things to come instead of the true form of these
realities.....(Heb. 10: 1 rsv). These prophets of the Old
Testament were able to grasp only fragmented bits and
pieces of the truth of the God and his law. Combined
they were unable to grasp the whole round orb of the
God's truthl. The whole truth had to await the coming
of Christ.

Earlier you listed 4 points where you challenged me
to provide explanations. You wanted me "to post

challenge, but obviously you were unable to find
fault with the internal logic or my intrepretation.

internally logical and my intrepretation rational.

Basically the Old Testament laws are the 10 commandments.
What is so evil about these? These are the law the rest
is the prophets. All of which were succeeded by the
New Covenant in the NewTestament.

grandsons of sinners as God promises to do in the so called Ten
Commandments. Don't you see something evil in that?

I don't see any way that you can reconcile your opinion that Mosaic law is
not the word of God without admitting that someone lied. So you either need
to admit that someone lied or you need to explain how these errors came to
be written in the Bible.

This is a red herring. Whether the law still applies or not does not change
the authorship of the Mosaic laws. So why don't you tell us who is the
actual author of the Mosaic laws?

You seem to be waffling on this point. Sometimes you say the Mosaic laws
are incorrect, now you say they are fragmented. Previously you said that
Moses got carried away. And yet you still refuse to admit that someone
lied.

I don't see the point in arguing with you anymore about this. You claim
that Mosaic law, as it is written in the OT, is erroneous and yet you refuse
to explain how it became erroneous. Simply claiming that it is no longer in
effect does not explain how it became erroneous. If you want to continue
this debate then you should explain how the OT Mosaic laws were written down
erroneously.

My only question is where in the Bible are you finding Jesus saying that
the "old Covenant" has been fulfilled and that the Mosaic laws no longer
need be followed? Not what Paul said umpty years after Jesus died and
Paul found that the Jews were not joining his religion in droves and
decided to change the dietary and other laws to make them more appealing
to the Gentiles; where exactly does your lord say that?

No, I don't think so. I said from the beginning of our discussion that
that the new covenant was a more sure way of God chose of revealing
his will to man. There were various and sundry methods used in the
OT. none as effective as the New Covenant, because of the man's
inabilities. But in any case the Old Covenant containing laws was
ineffective and superceeded by the New. Why is it so important to you?

My conclusion is based on the fact that nothing from the OT is
required in order to obtain one's own salvation. The Christian
Church of today (New Testament Churches) has no modern prophets,
no new and additional revelations, no Aronic Priest (after the order
of Aaron - Heb. 5:4), no animal sacrifices and no dependance upon
the OT law for salvation etc..

I have answered your question. It goes against the gist of your anti-

You have not discounted the New Testament, where it states
unequivocally that the old law, prophets, priest animal sacrifices etc
have been done away with. Why do you suppose there is a New
Testiment if there was nothing wrong with the old covenant. The
Old was flawed therefore room was made for a New Covenant.

I'm not trying to create a diversion, you are creating a diversion. We both
agree that determining the author of the Mosaic laws does not depend on
whether or not these laws are still in effect.

Here is the argument in a nutshell:

1) Many of the Mosaic laws are immoral.
2) The Mosaic laws were commandments from God.
3) Therefore, God made immoral laws.

If you think that premise #2 is not correct, even though the Bible says it
is correct, then you need to explain why. Your refusal to accept to obvious
logical results of your opinions reflects poorly on you.

Moses is the author of Genesis which contains the 10 commandments
(the Mosaic laws).
Actually the Ten Commandments are in Exodus and most Biblical scholars
believe that Moses did not write any of the Bible. But if someone
believes

that Moses wrote the Mosaic laws into the Bible, and also believes that
they

are not the accurate words of God as the Bible says they are, doesn't it

Don't you agree?
Yes, whether or not the Old Testament is superceded by the New does
not impact upon who wrote the Mosaic laws. But this is immaterial
from a Christian's prospective.

conclusion.
Post by Editor of EvilBible.com
Post by Ronald Dean
My conclusion is based on the fact that nothing from the OT is
required in order to obtain one's own salvation. The Christian
Church of today (New Testament Churches) has no modern prophets,
no new and additional revelations, no Aronic Priest (after the order
of Aaron - Heb. 5:4), no animal sacrifices and no dependance upon
the OT law for salvation etc..

to this question.
I have answered your question. It goes against the gist of your anti-
Christian crusade, therefore, you do not want to accept my answer.
You have not discounted the New Testament, where it states
unequivocally that the old law, prophets, priest animal sacrifices etc
have been done away with. Why do you suppose there is a New
Testiment if there was nothing wrong with the old covenant. The
Old was flawed therefore room was made for a New Covenant.
(Heb.8: 7 - 13)
The Old Testament says that the Mosaic laws are the accurate words of
God.

logical results of your argument (that Moses lied) is absurd.
As I have already confessed, I'm no expert on the Old Testament.
So, why would you insist upon me making a declaration for which
I am clearly unqualified. My opinion about the integrity of the
revelations received by Moses may very well be wrong. So
based upon my opinion, I cannot in good conscience call
Moses a liar.
I don't know why you have this obssession. Could it be a
diversion: an attempt to escape the obvious conclusion that
the Old Testament has been superceded by the New as it
relates to the Christian?
I'm not trying to create a diversion, you are creating a diversion. We both
agree that determining the author of the Mosaic laws does not depend on
whether or not these laws are still in effect.
1) Many of the Mosaic laws are immoral.
2) The Mosaic laws were commandments from God.
3) Therefore, God made immoral laws.
If you think that premise #2 is not correct, even though the Bible says it
is correct, then you need to explain why. Your refusal to accept to obvious
logical results of your opinions reflects poorly on you.
Okay, Conditionally, premise # 2 is correct, they were commandments from
God. So where do ywe go from here?

Yes, that is your problem. You have explained away the problems in
the Old Testament by saying that the prophets did not fully understand
god's message, but it is the prophet's understanding of that message
that is the basis of New Testament Christianity. Furthermore, as I
implied above, perhaps the writers of the New Testament did not fully
understand god's message, so that would also make the New Testament
unreliable along with the problem of depending on a foundation you
have admitted is unreliable. The whole structure looks very flimsy,
and that ignores the more serious problem of the total non-existence
of any objective evidence for any of it.

1) Many of the Mosaic laws are immoral.
2) The Mosaic laws were commandments from God.

Okay, Conditionally, premise # 2 is correct, they were commandments from
God. So where do we go from here?
Then do you also accept premise #1 (that many of the Mosaic laws are
immoral) and the logical conclusion (#3) that God made immoral laws?
In spite of the fact that, as I have stated, I am no expert on the OT,
without any special knowledge on the subject, yet you want an
expert opinion from me. As a novice my opinion on the OT is of little
value.
All I can say is that Christ brought into the world a far better
understand of God's will.
How do you know this?

So this suggest that the old methods
were inferior. I believe the prophets were incapable of fully
comprehending God's message.
So the Old Testament is not reliable, yet the New Testament depends on
the Old Testament being the word of god.

I can understand this because my wife's cat. She gets the
message to stay off the furnature. And while anyone is around
she will stay off. But when we are away she will get on the table.
Yet, she gots the message, because when we return she
jumps off the table. We cannot explain why this is to her.
You refuse to accept the fact that the New Covenant
superceded the Old so far as Christians are concerned,
The problem is that the New Testament depends on the Old, and both are
supposedly talking about the same god.
And the NT states the old are still in effect since the earth is still
here.

you have supplied no verses which contradict this position.
Neither have you negated the verses which gives evidence
of this. I'm convinced this demand of yours is nothing more
that a diversion to avoid facing up to this Biblical evidence;
which is the basis for New Testament Christianity.
Yes, that is your problem. You have explained away the problems in
the Old Testament by saying that the prophets did not fully understand
god's message, but it is the prophet's understanding of that message
that is the basis of New Testament Christianity. Furthermore, as I
implied above, perhaps the writers of the New Testament did not fully
understand god's message, so that would also make the New Testament
unreliable along with the problem of depending on a foundation you
have admitted is unreliable. The whole structure looks very flimsy,
and that ignores the more serious problem of the total non-existence
of any objective evidence for any of it.
Thomas, you've just obliterated Ronald. There are no shards. :)))
It's astonishing these people say, straight-faced, they're 'rational
adults' but they're utilizing the same 'arguments' as young children
concerning Santa Claus.
The performance is impressive. It is not easy to type while keeping
both ears covered and one's eyes closed.

What are you talking about???
You post to religious groups, in hopes of convincing some
people of the falsehood of their religion. You are appealing
to folks who have a large investment in their faith which you
wish to destroy. But by contrast, you as an atheist, have no
investment. Nothing is risked on your part. - Bill
What do you mean by an "investment in their faith"?

Okay, Conditionally, premise # 2 is correct, they were commandments from
God. So where do we go from here?
Then do you also accept premise #1 (that many of the Mosaic laws are
immoral) and the logical conclusion (#3) that God made immoral laws?
In spite of the fact that, as I have stated, I am no expert on the OT,
without any special knowledge on the subject, yet you want an
expert opinion from me. As a novice my opinion on the OT is of little
value.
All I can say is that Christ brought into the world a far better
understand of God's will.
How do you know this?
Because of John 1:1, 14 etc.

So this suggest that the old methods
were inferior. I believe the prophets were incapable of fully
comprehending God's message.
So the Old Testament is not reliable, yet the New Testament depends on
the Old Testament being the word of god.
It was imperfect because of man. Man was and is imperfect.

Post by Ronald Dean
You refuse to accept the fact that the New Covenant
superceded the Old so far as Christians are concerned,
The problem is that the New Testament depends on the Old, and both are
supposedly talking about the same god.
But the New has superceded the old because the Old Covenant
was faulty. The Covenant was a contract between God and man
but man was unwilling or unable to keep the contract. Man
could not fulfill the terms of the contract.

Post by Ronald Dean
you have supplied no verses which contradict this position.
Neither have you negated the verses which gives evidence
of this. I'm convinced this demand of yours is nothing more
that a diversion to avoid facing up to this Biblical evidence;
which is the basis for New Testament Christianity.
Yes, that is your problem. You have explained away the problems in
the Old Testament by saying that the prophets did not fully understand
god's message, but it is the prophet's understanding of that message
that is the basis of New Testament Christianity.
I disagree. The basis of the New Testament was the coming of
Jesus Christ. God made flesh.
Furthermore, as I
Post by Thomas P.
implied above, perhaps the writers of the New Testament did not fully
understand god's message, so that would also make the New Testament
unreliable along with the problem of depending on a foundation you
have admitted is unreliable.
That is only an opinion.
The whole structure looks very flimsy,
Post by Thomas P.
and that ignores the more serious problem of the total non-existence
of any objective evidence for any of it.
It's a matter of faith. If God exist I have a better chance
than an unbeliever! He has absolutely no chance. There is
no empirical or material evidence for God. But since God
is a spirit; why would there be. By the same token God
has not been falsified.

Unless you believe in the wrong god. Or unless it turns out that
god regards people who use the powers of reason which he bestowed
on them more highly than those who think blind faith is a virtue.

In reality of course, you need not worry, since gods are no more
than an invention of the human mind, and when you're dead and
gone it won't matter in the slightest what you believed when you

It's a suckers bet.

You were not defending yourself, you were running away from
the burden of proof since you know you cannot prove your
gods exist. That's why you engage in side arguments and
derailing; you can't address the main issue: the existence
of your gods. Any argument involving the bible is begging
the question; does the god it talks about actually exist.
Until you provide answers, not claims, to that question you
are just talking out of your ass.

It is more than an opinion. Your god has no evidence in support of

anything else but your god being proposed with the same problems, you
would very likely reject it out of hand.

If God exists he might be have integrity and object to those who see
belief as some sort of "if you don't play you won't win" lotto. He
might in fact prefer the honest doubter who witholds belief until

Do you see what he's doing here? "Side tracking." He arguing
about anything but the main point. That's done when someone
has no logical support for any of their claims so they have
to derail, or side track, the discussion.

You have no argument, Ronald. And your own Bible says you are to
approach "Christ" as a child. How sadly common a non-theist has to
correct a believer about what is in their *own* 'holy tome.'

If the (theist) is discredited, it's of their own doing-except it's not
as it was all part of their deity's "divine plan."

You, Ronald, as a christian slave, are ordered to rejoyce since
everything is "God Swill(tm)" concerning you.

If you're going to 'disobey god' then bitch to 'him' about it as I
didn't write your 'holy tome' of bronze age toilet paper.

Not so. That would only be true if:

1: There were actually any such things as gods;
2: The god or gods that actually exist are included
in the set of gods that you have heard of (probably
a very small subset of all the gods ever invented);
3: The god or gods that actually exist are benevolent
and fair rather than capricious or malevolent;
4: Belief is the *only* criterion for being granted
an afterlife (rather than e.g. being virtuous, or rational,
or descended from the right tribe 2,000 years ago etc.);
5: Your god or gods wouldn't rather have an honest
atheist in their heaven than a believer who gloats over
the presumed damnation of others...

I could probably think of more, given time... :-) IOW you're on very
shaky ground and should be very worried about what to do, and what to
believe in, and what the characteristics of the thing you choose to
believe in might be... unless you come to your senses one day and
realise that gods are just man-made characters, that therefore there's
really nothing to worry about, and you can relax in the sure and
certain knowledge that the only thing lying in wait for you after
death is eternal, inevitable oblivion.

Cheers...

If God exists I have a better chance
than an unbeliever! He has absolutely no chance.
Unless you believe in the wrong god.
Even so, there remains the one possibility that one God in 10
thousand gods is the true God. I still have one chance in
10,000, but you have absolutily _no_ chance at all
what-so-ever!
1: There were actually any such things as gods;
The absence of material evidence where a spiritual being
is concerned is to be accepted. It isn't surprising that
there is no empirical evidence for God
Post by Icarus
2: The god or gods that actually exist are included
in the set of gods that you have heard of (probably
a very small subset of all the gods ever invented);
There seems to be a God hole in the psych, since every
society has belief in some God. Could it be we are
created to need God?
Post by Icarus
3: The god or gods that actually exist are benevolent
and fair rather than capricious or malevolent;
I believe God is fair.
Post by Icarus
4: Belief is the *only* criterion for being granted
an afterlife (rather than e.g. being virtuous, or rational,
or descended from the right tribe 2,000 years ago etc.);
5: Your god or gods wouldn't rather have an honest
atheist in their heaven than a believer who gloats over
the presumed damnation of others...
I've said _nothing_ about gloating over the misfortune of
others. Gloating is inexcusable.
Post by Icarus
I could probably think of more, given time... :-) IOW you're on very
shaky ground and should be very worried about what to do, and what to
believe in, and what the characteristics of the thing you choose to
believe in might be... unless you come to your senses one day and
realise that gods are just man-made characters, that therefore there's
really nothing to worry about, and you can relax in the sure and
certain knowledge that the only thing lying in wait for you after
death is eternal, inevitable oblivion.
If this is true, then your life is futile, hopeless and pointless. It
will end one day. I'm _absolutely_ convinced mine will not. My
spirit will go on after physical death. I have seen no evidence
to the contrary.

I'm not going to continue this topic, since there is no purpose

It would be equally unsurprising that there is no empirical evidence
for things that do not exist. For any other proposal for god the lack
of evidence would be a good reason to reject the proposal. For some
reason you seem to think that lack of evidence is a plus when it comes
to your god.

No; the existence of atheists disproves this, and how does this

Sure you can. If you read the bible you know that god does
not exist. The same goes for any other revealed god. They
are ALL anthropomorphic mythologies. Since you, nor anyone

and have failed to provide that proof for thousands of
years; it is logical to assume that these gods do not exist.

The confused editor, hopefully, meant that it is logically
possible to prove that the christian god, and any other
revealed god, does not exist. And to the answer to your next

I've read it before. Excellent book. Still, trying to prove a negative
is an exercise in futility. Having the burden of such proof shifted to
the non-believer is also a common tactic that religionists use. For
example, if I were to say that I spent my weekends on the Jupiter moon
Io, swimming in lush pink oceans and having my every need attended to
by young, green-skinned super models with flowing, naturally blue
hair, and I'd say to you, "If you don't believe me, prove me wrong!"
there would be no way that you could do such a task. Thus,
religionists always think that they've won in this respect.

There is. The oceans there are purple, not pink.

Speaking of Io; I wonder what's under all that ice?

Proving a negative is not a logical fallacy. How stupid are you to believe
such bullshit? For example I can prove that there is no beer in my
refrigerator by a simple visual observation.

That's as may be, but you're over-simplifying the concept. How would
you prove it to anyone who doesn't have access to your fridge? Go to

reads "polygraph again" and see how the concept is applied to a

There are just as many variables for proving that my refrigerator contains
beer as there is for proving it does not contain beer. Yet you seem to
think that one scenario is provable and one isn't. That makes no sense at

No; the existence of atheists disproves this, and how does this
address my point anyway? You can't believe in a god that you've never

you've never heard of, then according to your logic you have exactly
the same 'chance' as everyone else, i.e. nil.
Nonsense, at worse I would have 1 chance in billions. You, however,

As has been explained to you (and ignored), everyone would have an

It's idiotic!!! One chance in billions is better than no chance at all!
There is on chance that the God I worship is the _one_ and only
God along with the conditions I believe he demands. This alone
justifies my argument. So, all other gods are non entities and you
are left with zero chance and no hope.

If God exists I have a better chance
than an unbeliever! He has absolutely no chance.
Unless you believe in the wrong god.
Even so, there remains the one possibility that one God in
10 thousand gods is the true God. I still have one chance
in 10,000, but you have absolutily _no_ chance at all
what-so-ever!
1: There were actually any such things as gods;
The absence of material evidence where a spiritual being
is concerned is to be accepted. It isn't surprising that
there is no empirical evidence for God
Who said anything about evidence? The point was simply that
if there are no gods, your 'chance' (of eternal life,
presumably) is exactly the same as everyone else's, i.e. nil
(regardless of which one you believe in).
The point is you CANNOT know there is no God. I have nothing
to prove to you. I personally am convinced that some
supernatural intelligence exist.
That's fine, you're entitled to your beliefs of course... I'm
only pointing out the holes in your attempt at a reasoned
argument - i.e. you can't be sure you have a 'better chance' than
an unbeliever, and you can't be sure that unbelievers have
"absolutely no chance", for all the reasons I've enumerated
already. However, you don't seem interested in addressing any of
those points, but rather you ignore them or respond with
something irrelevant. I suspect that means you don't have
confidence in your argument.

Rest snipped as I don't think you're capable of an honest and
intelligent discussion.

Cheers...

All I can say is that Christ brought into the world a far better

It was imperfect because of man. Man was and is imperfect.
You still have not addressed the problem. The New Testament depends

You refuse to accept the fact that the New Covenant

The problem is that the New Testament depends on the Old, and both are
supposedly talking about the same god.
But the New has superceded the old because the Old Covenant
was faulty. The Covenant was a contract between God and man
but man was unwilling or unable to keep the contract. Man
could not fulfill the terms of the contract.
This is what you say, but, (once again) based on your own reasoning,

Yes, that is your problem. You have explained away the problems in
the Old Testament by saying that the prophets did not fully understand
god's message, but it is the prophet's understanding of that message
that is the basis of New Testament Christianity.
I disagree. The basis of the New Testament was the coming of
Jesus Christ. God made flesh.
The idea that there was a messiah prophecied and that Jesus fulfilled
that prophecy is based on readings from the Old Testament, a book you
say is not reliable. You then rely on the New Testament, a book that
could be just as unreliable; since it is based on the Old and, like
the old, was written be men who may not have fully understood god's
message.
Post by Ronald Dean
Furthermore, as I
Post by Thomas P.
implied above, perhaps the writers of the New Testament did not fully
understand god's message, so that would also make the New Testament
unreliable along with the problem of depending on a foundation you
have admitted is unreliable.
That is only an opinion.
It is what your argument is based on. If you are going to now say
that both books are reliable, you will once again have the same
problems you tried to solve by saying the Old Testament was not
reliable.

belief in your version of a god or no belief at all. Add to that the
fact that your Bible is full of serious problems and contradictions,
and one has very little reason to take the claims of Christianity
seriously.

Furthermore saying I have no chance at all is a false conclusion.
Even if a god exists, it would not automatically mean that there would
be such a thing as eternal punishment or reward. Perhaps the real god
rewards people who try to think rationally and believe what makes
sense or what have been established to be true with evidence; wouldn't
that be strange a god who rewarded honesty?

What a bloody idiot, Mr. Dean is.

"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens,
and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the
stars and even their sizes and distances, and this knowledge he holds
with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and
disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about
such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We
should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation,
lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to
scorn."

Meaning of Genesis)

Neither have you negated the verses which gives evidence
of this. I'm convinced this demand of yours is nothing more
that a diversion to avoid facing up to this Biblical evidence;
which is the basis for New Testament Christianity.
I don't see the point in debating this any more. It's obvious that you
believe that parts of the Bible are true and parts are false, yet you refuse
to admit this.
That is _your_ spin. You cannot dictate what I believe and what I do not.
The Old Covenant containing the law has been fulfilled fro Christanity.

As I have already confessed, I'm no expert on the Old Testament.
So, why would you insist upon me making a declaration for which
I am clearly unqualified. My opinion about the integrity of the
revelations received by Moses may very well be wrong. So
based upon my opinion, I cannot in good conscience call
Moses a liar.
I don't know why you have this obssession. Could it be a
diversion: an attempt to escape the obvious conclusion that
the Old Testament has been superceded by the New as it
relates to the Christian?
I'm not trying to create a diversion, you are creating a
diversion.

Logic dictates that either:

3) The Bible is partially true and partially false.

Somewhere in the OT there's a spot where 'god' says something along the
lines of; "I almost regret the inequities I'm going to inflict on [my
creations]. As I recall, it's just before something on the positive
side. I stumbled over the dang thing once and haven't been able to find
it again. Any ideas?
