Most people confuse fact with opinion when it comes to the Bible. Church attendance would be very low, if the following factual disclaimer was inserted in the Sunday morning church bulletin, "Welcome to Happy Valley Christian Church! The following sermon, by Pastor Feelgood is based upon Biblical opinions and anectdotal stories that can't be verified from outside sources. Consequently, anyone who makes any personal decsions based on Pastor Feelgood's sermon agrees to accept full liablity for their actions. Finally, prayers offered by Pastor Feelgood do not have guaranteed results and are for entertainment purposes only."
Just ONE FACT, that's all I ask, JUST ONE.....

W.Once Which scripture was that ? was it close to the the one about David and his noisy motorcycle ? "His Triumph was heard throughout the land" ?
Sphere : when you point out that a number of other groups were NOT teaching similar stuff, and were not teaching the looney stuff at the time or since, you get the deer in the headlights look.
There should be at least one teaching,unique to the group, taught then and still taught now of course, because it is "truth", that convinced Jesus, preferably more than one, one is all I ask.
Just as Terry asks, one FACT from "God's Word" that would convince us of it's validity, just one ! (Jerusalem surrounded by armies is not for sure written before it happened, hardly proof)

“What information does the bible contain that is "obviously" from a divine source unavailable by any other source? Practical information; not doctrinal assertions is what I mean.”
Here’s your practical information:
Leviticus 15:17
NET ©
and he must wash in water any clothing or leather that has semen on it……
NIV ©
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water………..
Don’t believe me, ask Bill Clinton.

If God has given a good method for removing the stain I'd have been more impressed.

I give up.
What is the answer Terry?
It is bumfuzzling that it isn't easy to come up with an instant list of ten quick Divine examples of supernatural knowledge in advance
of technology.
This is quite revealing, in my view.
Look at the mindset in Genesis from the writer's standpoint. The Low Tech Mindset, if you will.
How does god destroy wicked mankind? He drowns them. Low Tech.
How does he punish Egypt? Frogs, Hail, darkness, etc. Low Tech.
How does God transmit his Law to Israel? Volcano, stone tablets, etc. Low Tech.
None of these is beyond the technology of the time even imaginitively.
How did Josuah's army defeat Jericho? Marching and trumpet blowing! Low Tech.
In the Garden of Eden we have Almighty God walking around in the breezy part of the day!!
What a visual! God--WALKING!! What the F***!
Evil comes from talking snakes, fer Gawd's sakes!
All Low-Tech and unimaginitive (on the scale of possible imagination) and clearly not SUPERIOR in a divine sense.
No, we don't seem to have any genuine example.....not even one.

The horses in the apocalypse had armor, that is, evidently and beyond any doubt, a clear reference to motorcycles.

What about the scripture that talks about "the sphere of the earth"?
