Archaeology of the New Testament

[Into the Night]

not a thing.

It certainly is. Nothing prevents a Jew from converting to Christianity, and I know several that have.

 

[Into the Night]

which word has confounded you, cretin?

Good. You constructed an English sentence for once. I already answered this question.

caiphus's toilet means shit.

Outside of mathematics, nothing can ever be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Logic is also a closed functional system. Proofs are also available there.

You are basically correct here. Proofs are only possible in closed functional systems. With it comes the power of prediction. You are also correct in pointing out that religion is an open functional system and has no proofs.

 

[Into the Night]

Don't bet the farm

Cliche fallacy.

Nope. You lost it again. Time to go back to studying English.

yet here he is...

author of the dumbest religion proving thread ever.

 

[Melchizedek=Tecumseh]

no they don't.

not being a thing.

there are a lot of confused televevangelicial miseducated idiots.

Last Supper was the Passover Seder!

 

[Into the Night]

Random word. Meaningless. Try again.

What makes you think I'm trying to prove a religion?

 

[Into the Night]

Last Supper was the Passover Seder!

Modified, but essentially correct. So?

 

[Melchizedek=Tecumseh]

Modified, but essentially correct. So?

"This is my body this is my Blood"!
The Eucharist is the Passover Lamb!

 

[Ichabod Stain]

What makes you think I'm trying to prove a religion?

not you.

cypridiot.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

Modified, but essentially correct. So?

a coincidence with no Christian meaning.

the last supper we call it.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

Smart people have wide-ranging interests, which may include history and archaeology.

You're free to dedicate your life to whining, griping, cursing, moaning, carping, and grumbling.

But you don't have any reason to get angry about what interests me.

your idiocy merely amuses me.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

You have to be intelligent and investigate literary style and manuscript evidence to understand what in the Bible counts as historical narrative, allegory, metaphor, poetry, hyperbole, symbolism.

Christianity is based on the claim that a first century Jew from Galilee ministered, was crucified, and was seen again. If those are not historical facts then Christianity is just a result of fabrication and misunderstanding.

all bullshit, like your face.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

I do not agree with you that we can't actually be sure if the Battle of Waterloo happened, if George Washington was inaugurated President, or if Abraham Lincoln was assassinated because the surviving written accounts are by eyewitnesses who are long dead.

these could also be lies.

grow up, pollyanna.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

The gospel of Mark states that Jesus died after six hours on the cross and Joseph of Arimethea received permission from Pontius Pilate to take to body down and place it in their family tomb.

yes.

this anecdote was carved on the back of caiphus;s toilet along with a number to call for a good time.

 

[Ichabod Stain]

Speaking of insanity,
He's not sure whether or not Lincoln was assassinated because the witnesses are long dead!

you love believe lies.

lies are your addiction.
