The Bible is right.

My opponent was right we he said that, he should of been able to make his arguement in RD 1. Since this is the case I hope my opponent would like to take this further into a 2nd debate if need be. I hope he would accept. I think i may have rushed my debate and not fully explained my arguement and premises properly. I apologize for this and hope no problems are caused. I stand by the reasoning and statements I made and with that gives the first proof of the Bible being right. The Bible itself sayed to do what you say and say what you mean, be honest, and be direct about your faith and belief. . http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com... Zechariah 8:16"These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace" Ephesians 4:25"Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. " Premises: According to these premises my opponent may procede with his future arguement. I will add here that if my opponent supplies arguements that are only explained by supernatural cause then I must be able to supply the supernatural reason for that cause. The Bible contains a large number of prophecies of future events which have been remarkably fulfilled. The only reasonable explanation is that God used his forknowledge to make the prophecies and inspired the authors of the Bible to record them. By these premises my opponent and I are justified in whatever is brought forth. I add: The Bible contains no contradictions. Also that the Bible has remarkable numerical designs in it. The Bible contains a perfect morality, Virtue, and no ethical defects. We may infer that the Bible is not a purely manmade work, but divinely inspired. Other premises will be appealed to in the formulation of the arguement and rebuttals. Purpose here is to give the arguement direction. I'll simply focus on my arguement from here. Example for supernatural cause: When God called his people out of slavery in Egypt and back to the land of their forefathers, he directed them to kill all Canaanite clans who were living in the land. The destruction was to be complete: every man, woman, and child. So then what is YHWH doing in commanding Israel to exterminate the Canaanite people? The act was morally obligatory for the Israeli. God stayed his judgement of the Canaanite for 400 years because thier wickedness had not reached its peak. He even allows his own chosen people to langish in slavery for centuries before determing that the Canaaite people are ripe. God has moral and supernatural reasons for His judgement upon the Canaanites. God also knew that if the Canaaite children were allowed to live they would have spelled the undoing of Israel. This reasoning from God here is because of two specific reasons:1) The canaanites were defiling themselves and thier neighbers. They were rapists, murders, and thiefs. and because of this they would tarnish the Israelites. 2) There were many giant clans within them. These giants talked about were abominable. They were offspring of Anak, of them Nephilim and Gibborim. These kinds were intended upon the earth and must have been wiped out. Arguement: This arguement will assert that man's nature is mortal. From that mortal nature comes natural sin. Though with that sin come a deep rooting of right and wrong. In that root we have a sense of right and wrong, we know what we ought and ought not to do. We feel justification when we do right and feel condemned when we do what we think is wrong. Since we follow moral law, it can be assumed there is a Lawgiver. The reason this should be assumed is because we govern ourselves, we govern ourselves because we have moral obligations to. With man's natural nature scrtaching at him he could not require law or have obligation to it of not for a lawgiver. Men are fallible and by that our arguement against the Bible is fallible too. I believe Jesus was a divine man-in fact God- and also with that the Bible is a divine book. Christianity is not a blind faith, it is the only religion that can actually prove itself, and the main source is from the Bible. There are many things proven from archaeology dealing with entire nations inside the Bible. Typically when God declared judgement on a nation it was because of justifiable reason. On some occasions God would also tell the citizens how He would reward them if they acted righteous and when they did God did reward them. All these prophecies support that it could not have been predicted by chance therefore it was divine inspiration from God. Both the Old and New Testament are strongly supported by maniscript evidence. The famous Dead Sea scrolls are one example. So our arguement is why does some things that is displayed in the Bible look wrong and is right and vice versa. Through the Bible and the holy ghost we are convicted, encouraged, and guided to the path of righteousness. myopponent must show were and how the Bible is wrong whatsoever. Purpose: So I will defend the Bible against mishandling! We should not let a unbeliever raising questions lead us to thinking more about the text than it implies. Most Christians seem lost when they open thier Bibles. I wonder why? The Bible is a collection of historically contingent documents that may be turned to for inspiration and instruction for the reader and believer. The scriptures must ve read in sole dependance from the Holy Spirit. The Bible is a collection that is not perfect or error-free, or beyond discussion. But I think the Bible is beyond criticism from a moral standpoint from a fallible man. Nor is it a solitary story or motif. There several stories within it, and several different viewpoints. So we will try to take a look at those viewpoints and see this from the critical side and literal side. I thank my opponent for doing this debate and am overcome with intisapation for his rebuttal and with that I turn the floor back to him again. Ephesians 1:13-14"In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
