Zone1 But the Books of the Bible Were Written After the Events Took Place, Proving Its Not True

[Weatherman2020]

Alexander the Great. Known to exist because of these 5 men documenting his life:

Arrin
Plutarch
Diodorus
Curtius
Justin

These 5 men lived one hundred to 500 years after the stated death of Alexander the Great.

You can’t accept one without the other.

 

[Vastator]

Well it's kind of hard to write about something that hasn't happened yet. And when you do, it's called prophecy...

 

[TNHarley]

Im agnostic as they come and that isnt a very good excuse to disregard it.

well -

the 100 or so reliefs of alexander help prove they existed as well - including timely historical textural accounts during the events as they happened.

tell all penguin - the 4th century c-bible ... 100 years in writing the document and the archives of the material they used to write the book - not a single page - left for verification or posterity. than what they wrote - their makebelieve book of forgeries and fallacies.

The Bible was amended many times. Most prophecy is after the fact.

 

[Anomalism]

Bad comparison. Alexander's existence is verified by more than just the account of a few people. He has a fucking city named after him. Culture from Greece to just short of India was heavily impacted by his doings. If you think those few men are the only evidence of his existence then you're extremely ignorant.

Of course the bibles aren't true. Only the fringe Christians try to make that claim anymore. Mainstream religions have years ago turned to confessing that the bibles are not to be taken literally.

Meriweather can accept that but then put a positive counterspin on the fact!

And fwiw, his religion now accepts Darwinian evolution!

 

[Donald H]

I have to wonder whether the 'religion and ethics' section is intended to have topics that are intended to argue against religion?

Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that topics should be limited to the acceptance of religion and the promotion of same?

Transcribed many times, but amended?

How so, and how would you know?

It was amended during the reign of king Omri to combine the different accounts in the OT . The stories of Judea and Israel were not alike.

 

[DudleySmith]

The books of the NT were in fact written at the times they were writing about. This is immediately obvious. Joachim Jeremia's Jerusalem in the Time ofJesus verifies that pretty thoroughly. There are no anachronisms in the NT, period. That would have been impossible for it to have been written hundreds of years later, especially by some Roman emperor, as some halfwits here in this forum keep claiming. Everything in it is contemporary with both the times and Jewish culture and theology.

Cities are named after Christ, too. Corpus Christie, TX and Christchurch, England, as examples.

And culture? Definitely impacted by Christ and his church.

You have said nothing.

^Breezwood, still pissed off God didn't give him a pony when he demanded one when he was 10.

The gospels were written 50 to 80 years after the crucifixion.

Most of what we know of Homer's writings date over 800 years after he wrote them. The NT is in fact one of the few ancient texts to have remained intact over 2,000 years.

What was amended, exactly? I'm just curious.

Proteges and scribes may have added to some OT books. And perhaps even other prophets did, as with the book of Isaiah.

But if the faithful had to correct erroneous assumptions, and hence commence the long tedious task of rewriting a book from the point of the error forward, then he probably wasn't really that faithful.

\No they weren't. Claiming they weren't 'written' is a red herring anyway; they were writing an oral tradition and many of the eyewitnesses were still alive. Jewish scholars transmitted their knowledge orally, even the Talmud is newer than the NT, as are rabbinical Judaism and the later cults. You just hope to discredit the writings so you can make up some silly alternatives and pretend they're just as valid. That is the real reason there are all these frauds like Pagels and her mentor Bauer for you to parrot are popular.

There were too many copies around for anyone to get away with faking writings and changing up anything. Finding the Dead Sea scrolls and other finds make that even more unlikely.
