I think Foxy has created a new word,"inerrancy'?,errancy or inaccuracy.Let those who believe,enjoy their moment,since the abyss of atheism has yet to fill the void in our human psyche.If we can all be expressed as a mathematical equation with a meaningless end,then existence has lost it's reason.We will be no greater than the machines we invent.To be slaves to the survival of the fittest and law of the jungle scenarios,makes life a worthless sham.
Will this be the way the world ends? "Not a bang ,but a whimper"

Dear Arjay,

I didn't invent the word "inerrancy".

"Inerrant" - means - free from error.

Look it up.

Cheers.

Disputing something as 'not historically possible' is bias :)

If Jesus demonstrated anything..it is that He is sovereign over nature.

John the Baptist sent followers to Jesus "Are you he who is to come..or should we look for another?

Jesus replied:

the deaf stay deaf.. the blind still can't see, the lame still stumble around..

well of course that isn't what Jesus said.. he is reported to have said the opposite

"Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 23Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."

Is it any wonder that after 3 yrs, he had turned the land upside down ?
Without doubt, if Jesus just had a 'message of repentance and forgiveness' his words would have fallen in increasingly deaf ears.
Jesus did not seek to be popular.. he was truthful about the human condition. People came to him for all the wrong reasons "WOW.. a miracle healer" but his words either turned them away or transformed them.

If the lame can walk. the deaf hear, the blind see.. the dead be raised... is it surprising that His incarnation was via a virgin ?

Not to me.

It's hard to explain why, but you really turn me off Christianity, Boazy. You're like an anti-missionary. You're an atheist-creator.

"Disputing something as 'not historically possible' is bias :)"
I find this statement entirely meaningless. So you're saying *everything* is historically possible. So if I said, it's not historically possible the earth is just a speck in the eye of the flying spaghetti monster, I'm biased?

With over 500 people at once witnessing Christ after His resurrection there is a far chance that in a court of law it could be proved. Most however look for reasons not to believe because they don't want to face up to their own sin. Moral relativism is a convenient way to put ourselves in the place of God. Its such as pity as He has demonstrated His love so much for all humans and wishes for none to perish. As the Scripture so clearly say that the Light came to the world but men loved the darkness more. Jesus Christ is the only person to ever live who never lied. Its a pity a few more don't believe Him.

Well I guess that's the nub of it.

On the basis of a bunch of fairy tales, fundamentalist Christians are entitled to do anything in the real world that is consistent with their interpretation of those fairy tales. Bugger the environment and those who don't share their beliefs.

Everybody else is obviously not only wrong, but DAMNED TO THE ETERNAL FIRES OF HELL!!
