Jehovah's Witnesses leader encountered buying a haul of Scotch on a Sunday morning

What we saw was that your claim that the Bible is "circular" (reasoning) in Post #124 didn't cut the mustard. Reasons why your argument failed can be seen in Post #'s 138, 140, and 142.

Didn't fail at all; rather, you demonstrated quite aptly my position on the topic by confirming in your own words that you cannot avoid relying on the Bible when attempting to validate biblical assertions. In other words, the "extra-biblical" sources aren't extra-biblical at all. :)

You have some bizarre notions, basically saying that nothing outside the Bible can confirm what's in the Bible. Very chic, OM. :lamo

Doesn't sound stupid at all; but yes, here the come the insults, the last refuge of the illogical.

You yourself said it, you can't substantiate biblical assertions of supernatural phenomena. But then you want to somehow blame me for it? How highly illogical.

Truth is not an insult...you have the intellectual knowledge but lack discernment of the heart...Proverbs 2:6...

It's an insult if wielded subjectively as you did. Calling it the "truth" is still worse than a back-handed compliment; thus still delivered as an insult. It doesn't insult me personally, but that does not remove the stain of your intent; not to mention corroborate the position that insults themselves are the last refuge of the intellectually dishonest.

From my perspective, my experience, and the beneficial tutelage I received under the consultancy of an authoritative Levite hermeneutic, I would consider my discernment far more authoritative than all your mechanized cut/paste Watchtower propaganda.

Hard to do that when I don't subscribe to mythology or oral tales and traditions mired in antiquity. :)

Uh.... how precisely is something as natural as an eclipse considered "supernatural"?

Not only that, there is the little problem of not being able to show that the claims that eclipse that thallus described corrosponeded to the time period of any executions.

Who says it was an eclipse...a solar eclipse takes place only at the time of the new moon and the moon is full at Passover time and solar eclipses last only a few minutes so a solar eclipse cannot be responsible for the three hours of darkness...it stands to reason the darkness is of divine origin, not supernatural...supernatural has to do with the occult/Satan/demons...SMH...

The description. Ancients of course didn't know how to explain such things; wrote it off to their superstitions. Fortunately superstition has become obsolete in the 21st century of the Common Era; to most anyhow.

Thallus described an eclipse. Show that he said it was during Passover.

I don't care what Thallus said, I told you why it was not an eclipse..."a solar eclipse takes place only at the time of the new moon and the moon is full at Passover time"...surely you know how to tell when it's Passover...

The event that supposedly was during passoever was a literary device, not an actuality. It didn't happen, and that isn't what Thallus was writing about.

No, it was not...it was caused directly by Jehovah God, meaning it was divine...
