[W:493]I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

Um, no you did not...

WHy, yes, I did. The information was right at Gospel of Luke and nothing you posted from the JW web site refuted any of the informatoin there.

Why, no you did not...lol...
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

Another debate in which you've thrown in the towel?

Yeah, when a poster gets ridiculous they get a lol...

I find ususally it is when a poster gives information you can not counter with a cut/paste from the JW.org web site.

Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist


The geologic record would show if there was a world wide flood. It doesn't. Thus there was no world wide flood, and the Noah story is just that: A story.

Yet the universality of the flood accounts for the universal destruction of humanity by a flood and the spread of the human race from one locale and even from one family is dismissed by you...I see...:2razz:
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist


Once again, a lol rather than providing the evidence that supports your claim. The whole world was always the whole world. The world was not smaller in size.

The inhabited world was or do you think the whole earth has always been completely inhabited since day one? If so, I got a bridge to sell ya...:2razz:
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

The Bible...I think most people will acknowledge it can be misread/misunderstood...

OK. But how does anyone know they finally have it right? After all, no one is going to believe in an interpretation they don’t think “rings true”. Everyone thinks their interpretation rings true and everyone else is wrong. And yet there are still thousands of interpretations. Even the same perso will go through many interpretations in a lifetime, doubtless thinking every time they finally have it right.

So when was a limited part of the world the only one inhabited and what part of the world was it? And what evidence do you have to support this?

Do your own research...it's not hard to find...:roll:

It is hard to find because there is no evidence to support it and you can't demonstrate otherwise.

In other words, you are not that interested...got it...

No, you made the claim without evidence. Support it or it will be dismissed as the complete fabrication that it is.

Suit yourself...your loss on gaining some knowledge...

Your loss on supporting your claim. Making up stuff is not a source of knowledge.
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

Yet the universality of the flood accounts for the universal destruction of humanity by a flood and the spread of the human race from one locale and even from one family is dismissed by you...I see...:2razz:

Can you relay what the Australian aborigine account is/
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

The evidence or lack of and the impossibility of the story being true. Logically it is false.

Noah's Ark did not exist and could not exist.

This is a pitiably weak argument:

P: There is a lack of evidence.
P: The story being true is impossible.
C: Therefore, it is false.

See the problem?

Never mind the claim that the Ark did not exist and could not exist. You don't know that it could not or didn't.
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

Yet the universality of the flood accounts

Mankind needs water, so we build settlements near water sources. Those sources occasionally flood. It is what would be expected.

for the universal destruction of humanity by a flood

Yep, back in the day when a big flood hit, it might hit an area greater than you traveled in your lifetime, in other words your entire world would have been destroyed. That is a long ways from the entire world being flooded.

and the spread of the human race from one locale and even from one family is dismissed by you...I see...:2razz:

I never said anything about that, so I have no idea what you're talking about.


Anyways, a world wide flood would show up in the geologic record. It doesn't. Ergo no flood. Or can you provide a reputable study saying it did?

Actually, it is 'Observation, there is strong evidence that the Ark as described would not be sea worthy, there is strong evidence there was no world wide flood,
Observation There is not enough water on earth to support a world wide flood.
Observation That much water falling down would cause a tremendous amount of heat energy, which would boil the water off, and kill anybody on a boat.

Conclusion from the data. The story as written is impossible.

So,your attempt at logic was basically a strawman.

Do you not know what a strawman is? A syllogism?

Actually, there is evidence in the geologic record that a world wide flood never happened. If it did, there would be traces found, everywhere, because it was world wide. . There isn't, ergo no world wide flood.

Next, there isn't enough water for a world wide flood, even if all the icecaps melt, it doesn't come close to covering the highest mountain (as per the bible). Ergo, no world wide flood.

Finally, the thought that a family of eight or whatever people built a seaworthy boat of that size, using hand tools, and with no shipbuilding experience is ludicrous. Go take a look at the Ark Encounter, that is only a boat shaped facade, and it took hundreds of people years to build using cranes, air guns, pre milled lumber, purchased nails and fasteners, etc. etc. You might as well be telling us they built a space ship and visited Alpha Centauri.

See the problem?

The point was...the global scale of such stories should tell you something...there is truth woven in there somewhere that cannot be denied...
