The Bible Is Inerrent

Rebuttal: Contention one: firmament My opponent continues to argue that his definition is far superior than that of mine; however since he wasn't there during this time period, then he cannot prove that his definition is surpasses mine. My opponent failed to provide valid evidence as to why his definition is correct making his definition no than mine. Contention 1.2 "obviously the earth does not have foundations and it is talking about the geometrics of the earth. I use this because CARM. org uses this as "scientific accuracies" but concedes it may be talking about a flat earth. " My opponents source describes this verse in the most literal term possible; however a closer look at the verse suggest that this verse could be used in an indirect way. The simple use of the word "like" as well as the comparison of humans to grasshoppers, is more than enough evidence to support my claim. Contention Two: Failed prophecies Sub point: Tyre and Egypt "My opponent's argument is that the modern city of Tyre is not the old city of Tyre since the former was not on the exact location of the latter. Suffice to say that no one agrees with such a twisted method to fulfil prophecy. " My opponent completely misunderstood my point. I stated that the prophecy came true as the old city of Tyre was never re built. i stated that the city of Tyre was never rebuilt from its rubble's which when looking back at the prophecy is what it states. The fact still remains that the city was never rebuilt as traces of rubble's still remain in the location of the ancient city of Tyre. I would ask my opponent to refrain from plagiarism: "Suffice to say that no one agrees with such a twisted method to fulfil prophecy. Furthermore the prophecy says that Tyre shall never be rebuilt after the destruction by Nebuchadnezzar-which never happened-since he never destroyed the city. Even after the destruction by Alexander the Great, the city was still rebuilt. In fact the city of Tyre was even referred to, by that name, in the New Testament (Mark 7:24, Acts 12:20). Tyre exists to this day and has a population of about 12,000. " (. http://www.topix.com...) aving failed in one prophecy did not make Ezekiel shy about making more: Ezekiel 29:8-12 . .. thus says the Lord God. .and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. .. no foot of man shall pass through it and no foot of beast shall past through it; it shall be uninhabited for forty years. And I will make the city of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries; and her cities shall be desolated forty years. .. I will scatter Egyptian among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. This passage must take the cake for the most prophecies proven wrong! * Egypt has never been desolate and waste. * Men and people have always walked through it. * There has never been a single moment (let alone forty years) when Egypt was uninhabited. * Egypt has never been a desolated countries surrounded by more desolated countries. * Its cities has never been desolated for any period of time * and finally there was no Egyptian diaspora[6]. (plagiarized website: ". http://www.topix.com...;) My opponent has plagiarized his entire case which in turn makes his case irrelevant. (I urge voters to take this in consideration when voting) In conclusion, i have countered my opponents whole case which in turn helped my original argument. My opponent plagiarized which i take on as forfeiting. Thank you.
