    I believe that is the issue at hand. The current modern bibles have been misinterpreted, mistranslated, misused to the point it is hard to know what is correct.
    I believe one has to go back to as much original documents as possible to find correct wording.
    Remember, false prophets is dangerous. And if our modern bible is messed up, whether intentional or unintentional, is a cause for concern.
    So one has to find out original intent.
    If one repeats a lie, even if they don't know it is a lie, it is still a lie.

    Nah...
    He'll check out the churches/synagogues/mosques according to their preaching, in comparison to the charity they extended with the tithes they collected every Sunday:

    Before you denigrate all modern bibles as being abuses of contemporary scholars, remember they are based on far older manuscripts than the KJV was based on. Older manuscripts are closer to the original texts, and the closer to the original you get the more authentically you are recreating the original intent of scripture. Contemporary bibles are also edited by far more qualified and dedicated scholars that are able to pull from far more in depth resources than earlier translations had available to them.
    This is why the defenders of the KJV as the inspired translation are badly misled in their devotion to that version.

    So, you're saying that people came out of their graves after the great earthquake following Jesus' death and appeared to people in Jerusalem? Huh, strange that we have no mention in our history books of zombies wandering around Jerusalem.

    Go all the way back to the existing original manuscripts and what do you have? You have an original set of manuscripts (especially the Hebrew) that are written in a language that is no longer spoken today. Without anyone available to do that speaking in the original tongue, then there is no logical way to translate those manuscripts other than to use ambiguous placement of vowels that were not present in the original manuscripts. Therefore, even the earliest translations are in question.

    Dude how can Christianity have been demonstrated as true with the resurrection of Jesus, when you haven't demonstrated that resurrection as being true? Just because a book says it happened doesn't mean it actually did happen.

    OK ... so pick one example of what you felt was a tough question and give your answer.

    Perhaps we can get this thread off the strawmen and get it back on track.

    This proves how the Bible can have many meanings. This could mean that God created only Adam; the other humans evolved.

    The prophecy is that the Messiah will be called Emmanuel, not Jesus. And that he will be descended from David. Joseph being Jesus's foster father doesn't count, and Mary was not of the House of David. Christian apologists will saying that Emmanuel was only a description, not a name. And that being adopted by Joseph made Jesus part of the House of David. Liars can find ways to prove anything. The double-talk defending this obsolete fairytale led to a thousand years of illogical thinking. Science couldn't evolve because people couldn't think.

    god told me he likes it spelled god not God.

    As far as Justin Beiber, I find it amusing you dont like it when someone uses a strawman on you yet every single one of your posts is a strawman.
    Now why dont Catholics let women help choose the pope?

    So when Vikings were around they were living proof that their religion is true, historical factual and cannot be proven wrong ?

    Muslims are then living proof that Islam is true, historical factual and cannot be proven wrong ?

    Hindoos are then living proof that Hinduism is true, historical , factual and cannot be proven wrong.

    Are you on crack ?

    When the Vikings were around it was about the Vikings and the Vikings will evolved to become Norwegians and Scandinavians that is the factual truth and proven to be so and for their religion it will be proven to be just a myth.

    Muslims are living proof that Islam is the anti Christ, the parallel religion of Christianity.

    Hindus are living proof that they are for real and yes they are proven to be real people not myth. While Hinduism as a religion is one of the many religions that is totally different from Christianity.

    What is crack? You mean you mind is crack?
