Biblical history. Christian. (If you are atheist, read the Bible, it'll scare the hell out of you) If you have read any of the following: Dawkins: "The God Delusion" Dawkins: "The Greatest Show on Earth:" Hitchens: "God Is Not Great" Dennett: "Breaking the Spell" Harris: "Letter to a Christian Nation" Stenger: "God: The Failed Hypothesis" Then I challenge you to read the following: McGrath: "The Dawkins Delusion" Sarfati: "The Greatest Hoax on Earth?" Aikman: "The Delusion of Disbelief" Day: "The Irrational Atheist" Ward: "Why There Almost Certainly Is a God: Doubting Dawkins" Hahn & Wiker: "Answering the New Atheism" Ross: "More Than a Theory" Zacharias: "The End of Reason" ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  • JW's: The name Jehovah?

    Is a transliteration of Hebrew radicals that have never been translated.

    JW's have been taught the idea that "LORD IS JEHOVAH",and Lord is "JESUS", a created god.

    The AV1611 Bible preserves "LORD" in Revelation 19.16, INDICATING that

    JESUS CHRIST is JEHOVAH. (Acts 20.28)

  • Atheists & evolutionists: The 1st two Laws of Thermodynamics?

    were stated in Nehemiah 9 and Isiah 51 before Newton figured out gravity?

    Since the 2 Laws contradict evolution, evolutionists are stuck with

  • WHY ARE THERE FOSSILS?

    If rock layers need millions of years to form, how do we still find many well-preserved fossils in those rocks?

    Most dead animals decay quickly or are eaten by scavengers fairly quickly after death. But in the uniformitarian view the dead animal must lay there long enough undisturbed by scavengers and without decaying for sediment to build up around it to fossilize it.

    Even allowing for hypothetical conditions in which animals decayed less quickly, the amount of time for slow and gradual fossilization means that we should find very few or no well-preserved fossils.

    Local floods could account for individual fossil beds, but not the big picture of all the sedimentary layers and well-preserved fossils around the world.

    This gives us the impression of a global event, such as the world wide flood happening in a matter of days or weeks.

    Local floods would not leave fossils covering our whole planet.

  • Darwde? Are you behind the curve?

    4. "Common traits in embryos. Humans, dogs, snakes, fish, monkeys, eels (and many more life forms) are all considered "chordates" because we belong to the phylum Chordata. One of the features of this phylum is that, as embryos, all these life forms have gill slits, tails, and specific anatomical structures involving the spine. For humans (and other non-fish) the gill slits reform into the bones of the ear and jaw at a later stage in development. But, initially, all chordate embryos strongly resemble each other. "

    Oh yeah? you're behind the curve. There are not gills, it's folds in the human embryos.

    Hackle lied.

    The tail bone is in humans to hold up the guts, & part of the immune system, & controls the BM

    and bladder, & sitting up & walking Straight .

    Do some catching up dude.

  • Was King James a homosexual?

    I've been told by several "pastors" (one a NASV using Baptist)

    that King James was a homosexual. I asked them where they heard that.

    They said they heard it in their cemetery (sorry, I meant seminary),

    and they were told to not tell their church members.

    If it were true, I was ready to burn my KJV Bible and

    leave the Christian Faith. I did not want a Bible authorized

    by a homosexual.

    It took me 8 months to finally find the truth. (I always verify if possible).

    King James had enemies. One was Anthony Weldon, that was excluded

    from James' court. Weldon swore vengeance and in 1650, 25 years after

    the death of James, he saw his chance. Weldon wrote a paper calling James

    a homosexual. James, being dead, was in no condition to defend himself.

    The report was largely ignored since their were still enough people alive who

    knew Weldon was a nut case and the charge untrue. Years later, it was picked up

    by people that hoped to defame James, therefore that would tarnish the Authorized

    Bible and turn Christians away from God's Book to more "modern" translations.

    Today, where the lie was in footnotes and not to be believed, no more footnotes,

    and the "Professors" are telling the students the lie. So they can impress the students with their "knowledge"?

  • JW's, to get the NWT for you, in 1920?

    The WT Brooklyn group stated "The following words, found in the common version (King James AV),are not found in the oldest MSS, and are no part of the divine word. Let each Berean go through his Bible, pencil in hand, and mark out these words (list follows, over 2000 words)". ?

    1. Are older MSS better? They used the Sinaitic & the Vatican Greek texts, 2 of the oldest & most

    corrupt MSS ever made, found in trash cans in a catholic monastery. ?

    2. They used these MSS because they agreed with JW's rejecting the Deity of Jesus. ?

    3. The JW's changed the references to His Deity in over 23 places. ?

    Are these historical documented facts true?

    Just wondering your stand on the issue?
