Dear
BreezeWood
1. What proof do you provide for your beliefs that you demand Christians/Bible fail to provide?
2. Your arguments also focus only on contesting the authorship issues
and never focusing on the CONTENT of the actual principles. You are NOT addressing the actual CONTENT but arguing about claims about authorship.
This is like arguing over Shakespeare's authorship, instead of arguing whether the CONTENT of the writing contains universal truth REGARDLESS of authorship and fraud or false claims that do not change whether the CONTENT is consistent with common truth.
3. And lastly your claim that no impure human being can author real universal truth is also relative: we can still express absolute universal truths even though our expressions are limited, relative or even flawed.
When scientists first sought to map out the solar system, some of the presentations were incomplete, or flawed like with the geocentric systems or the status of Pluto as a planet or not.
The Constitutional laws on equal protections and Equal Justice Under Law did not apply to enslaved or formerly enslaved persons, so this had to be reformed.
Flawed people wrote these laws, that contain both truth and errors to be refined and reformed later as humanity progresses.
You want to focus on throwing out all the Bible and all Christianity based on flaws instead of correcting and reforming the path to get on track.
The same arguments can be applied to you
BreezeWood
1. You and I are equally limited, biased or flawed as human beings so if you say nobody who is imperfect can witness to real truth, then you and I and everyone are equally disqualified.
2. You have no proof that anything you say is authored solely and directly by divine sources without flawed humans touching the process.
This is why I believe Consensus will determine what is divine universal truth that supercedes any human bias flaws or limits.
By the time we agree on the CONTENT and principles of universal truth and process of establishing agreed truth, that will lead and determine it OVER any flaws or errors or biases in the expressions
We can still use the Bible, flaws and all to COMMUNICATE truth and correct errors and resolve conflicts.
We can still use the LANGUAGE concepts and principles in
The Bill of Rights. Buddhist teachings, etc. To address and resolve differences in our perceptions and reach solutions agreeable to both sides with different approaches or priorities.
We do not have to be perfect.
BreezeWood even a sixth grade band that doesn't play "perfectly" in tune can play a symphony, even if it isn't as refined as the professional orchestra ensemble that does a better job closer to perfection.
You are not perfectly omniscient but havr your limits and biases as do Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheists, Constitutionalists etc.
Any of our systems can be used to express what we see and understand from our perspective and experiences.
The challenge is learning to communicate universally, knowing all people have our own relative and limited/biased methods and means of expression.
Nobody is perfect or captures all of God's truth.
Like an orchestra, we can at least learn to play the parts we are given and harmonize with the rest. As diverse as our parts are. And with all the flaws and imperfect delivery we each have.
We can still harmonize and play in tune with each other.
And like science, we did not invent the laws that came with the universe. We just learn to write them down, to communicate and AGREE what the laws are.
We do not have to be perfect or omniscient to do this.
Or you and I would be equally disqualified as anyone else!
