The Bible is an Inconsistent Document (II)

At the absolute best my opponent has worded his proposition in so vague a manner as to allow this kind of debacle to develope. I 100% refute the accusation that I have intentionally misunderstood the nature of the debate. Those who know me on debate. org know me as a somewhat over earnest Christian. They may judge me as delusional or mis-guided but I would hope they know I am nothing if I am not sincere. On that note, I am happy to allow my reputation to speak on this matter. As must JCMT. ********************************************* Mat 28:19 - Act 2:38 >There are no historical facts. Only competing histories. ********************************************** Joh 3:22 - Joh 4:2 " the Gospel of John is a very spiritual text that would have hit this point very hard, as it would emphasize Jesus' divinity. " >Another omission argument. ********************************************* Mar 16:16 - Mat 12:37 - Jam 2:17 >Which of these actions do you need to drive a car? (1)turning the steering wheel (2)applying the brake pedal (3)applying the gas pedal (4)shifting the gear shift All of them right? Do this list contradict itself? ********************************************** Act 26:23 - 1 Kin 17:22 "The concept of eternal life was unheard of until Jesus began preaching it. " (from R3) "The promise of eternal life in the OT is all well and good" (from R4) >A good example of my opponent's complete inability to stick to any semblance of an actual debate. ********************************************** Jam 1:13 - Gen 22:1 >Tempt in WHICH sense? As satan (to sin) or as God tempts? (to resist) *********************************************** Deu 24:16 - Deu 5:9 >Simply restating the original argument only reveals my opponents contempt for me in general and for this debate in particular. *********************************************** 2 Sam 24:9 - 1 Chr 21:5 >No concession. It's a simply a different census of the same army with a slightly different criteria. ************************************************** ACT 1:18 - MAT 27:5-7 >A general reading would be the one that generations of readers and scholars (as well as film and television producers) have ALL agreed upon. Judas HANGED himself. *************************************************** MAT 27:46,50 - LUK 23:46 - JOH 19:30 >The Gospels being inconsistent is NOT the same as the The Bible itself being inconsistent. Again, you claim concession at the expense of the argument at hand: If the Bible presented the Gospels as being totally inconsistent then why have 4 and not (any) 1? That you have ignored this logic is telling. *********************************************** Lev 25:1, 17 - Gen 25:27 - Lev 25:44 "Sounds like sexual slavery to me. That sounds pretty oppressive" >When refuted with scripture my opponent falls back to comparing the Bible with his personal opinions. I cannot argue that the Bible is inconsistent with your subjective morality. Sorry. ******************************************** 2 Pet 2:7-8 - Gen 19:8 " tell me - are the actions of Lot just in your eyes? " >Now he wants me to begin comparing the Bible with MY subjective opinion! Emotive: (HAR! !) ************************************************** Psa 19:7 - Heb 8:7-8 >My opponents asks for the scripture. He receives it. Twice. He switches to a comparison with his own subjective morality. **************************************************** Psa 103:8 - Exo 34:6 - Jer 13:14 - Lam 3:43b - 1 Sam 15:2 - 1 Sam 6:19 >For disobedience. The nature of the disobedience is immaterial. *************************************************** Heb 13:20a - 2 The 3:16 - Rom 15:33 - Exo 15:3 - Psa 18:34 - Psa 144:1 "PEACE BY ALL MEANS ALWAYS. " >This obviously refers to eternity when all things have been completed. ************************************************** GE 6:4 - FACT >Outside debate parameters. ************************************************** Gen 7:19 - FACT >Outside debate parameters. ************************************************** GEN 7:2 - GEN 7:8 - GEN 7:9 - FACT >Outside debate parameters. ************************************************** LEV 11:6 - FACT >I believe I have convincingly shown that the difference (between chewing the cud and Cecotrophy) does not amount to an inconsistency. ***************************************************** Gen 3:14 - FACT >The criteria for discernment of the Bible would be to BEGIN by not having a mono-maniacal obsession with proving every last detail to be false. ************************************************* Gen 1:29 - FACT " nightshade, milk thistle. .. they have ALWAYS been poisonous. " >Again, when refuted with scripture my opponent simply SHOUTS his personal opinion. ***************************************************** Gen 7:6 - FACT >Outside debate parameters. ***************************************************** 1 Kin 8:46 - 1 Joh 3:6 "Original sin aside, there is absolutely no reason a non-Christian could remain sinless. " >A completely unbiblical personal opinion. *" For ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. "
