Meh...he can stay or he can go. We all know our friend David by now. Any shock value he may have had as been worn away by ceaseless repetition. It's all good, he can be fun to talk to sometimes...

No...not really. Different denominations chuckle at each other from time to time...but you typically don't see anyone get very ugly about it, because it's only really a big deal to folks who don't understand what the religion is about, or only do from the perspective of someone wishing to discredit it. :shrug:
Hate to say this, but I'm not sure it's all that controversial: you just wouldn't understand.
Religious differences are a big deal. We have examples of it in this forum. Apparently all religious don't understand what the religion is about. Maybe you don't understand. Religious differences in religions that are ostensibly the same have been and continue to be controversial and contentious. It's only when confronting nonbelievers that the religious pretend to be in agreement.
That is not true...I find myself agreeing with non believers about some things and then, with other believers about other things...it's not an all or nothing thing, as you make it out to be...
My point is that believers have serious disagreements.
Do unbelievers agree on everything? I think not...

No, just stating a fact that for some reason you deny.

Ipse dixit.There is precisely zero controversy surrounding the accuracy of carbon dating.
...whose modeling is beholden to numerous critical variables, not all of which are known a priori and many of which are the subject of considerable disagreement, especially for longer-term dating where the concentrations of carbon 14 are much smaller and may or may not be overwhelmed by isotopic flux from other radiological processes.Radioactive decay is one of the single most reliable physical processes in the universe.
Sure.While you're searching, do a search for "Is bible dating accurate".

:lamoI'm no expert on the subject, but I have read enough to know that the experts--both supporting and disputing the long-term accuracy of carbon dating--conduct lengthy debates on the aforementioned 'numerous critical variables', because both groups work with the same physical models and these variables matter.
So don't gaslight me
You accused DD (in another thread) of playing games. Perhaps you should stop doing the exact same thing.
You of all people should know exactly what's being referred to here.
You're a JW.
The entire JW organization is considered a CULT by most Christians.
Vast swathes of your belief system are widely criticized and condemned by most Christians.
In return of course your entire organization condemns and criticizes most other Christian denominations as being "false".
The term "serious disagreements" is something you're conveniently omitting.
You try to dodge and deflect and "play games" at some truly odd times.
Trouble is, it doesn't work for you.
You're part of the leading-edge of "disagreement" among "christians".
There's the commonly stated meme-like phrase that says something like:
"I might start listening to what christians have to say, once all the christians can actually agree on what to say."
It holds water.
That's a poor excuse for not searching for the truth...don't think Jehovah will accept it, either...
That's a poor excuse for not searching for the truth...don't think Jehovah will accept it, either...
You are making the unproven assumption that you know the truth. IN fact, there is strong evidence you don't.
Christians can't agree on what the "truth" is.
That's the point.
I am making the assumption that there has to be truth, it's just a matter of finding it...I don't have to convince anyone but myself of what is true and what is false...no one else can serve God on our behalf...
