  For sweetscholar: Is there proof that the Bible is inspired by God?

  in your post to me on the other thread, you made three main points: .

  circumcision thing is a strong type of proof. I red in a number of places that the 8th day after birth is not just "normal level" but the HIGHEST of the male's ENTIRE life

  I've never heard of this before and cannot find any evidence for this (which don't mean much).

  If it is true couldn't it have been thru experience? You can imagine a very experienced circumciser who notices that babies tend to heal better and don't bleed as much if you circumcise on the 8th day and it finds it way into the lore. Nothing inspired there.

  Wouldn't most ancient medical treatment have been found thru trial and error? To a degree I suppose it is still the same today.

  let me premise this post with the qualification that i believe many women who choose abortion do not know what they are really doing and have been lied to for a political cause.

  also, anyone can be forgiven of any sin, period.

  i grieve for those who have made this decision and later regretted it.

  "How to demonstrate our trust:

  1) Be a zealous kingdom proclaimer

  2) Study & attend meetings along with family - TIREDNESS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO MISS MEETINGS

  3) We rarely hear about money at the Kingdom Hall [???] So in a spirit of love, be generous with your valuable things"

  This demonstrates dramatically that it is a cult.

  1) Sell books and get converts

  2) Go to sales meetings

  3) Give us your money.

  Where's the love for the flock in all this?

  2. bible

  the bible tells us that christians had multiplied rapidly shortly after christs death.

  are the figures accurate?.

  acts 2:41 says that after hearing teachings by peter "the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

  History is written by the winners.

  A Xian book proclaims how many 1000's of xians there are and how successful they are. Not surprising really.

  How does it compare to contemporary writings of historians and other faiths? If any survive.

  ..."when donations are earmarked specifically for a certain disasters, it is necessary in some countries to use such funds only for the purpose specified by the donor and within a certain period of time, whether the needs of out brothers have been cared for locally or not.

  (is this true and if so, isn't that the whole point of donating to natural disaster victims?

  They rob people of their self esteem, friends, family, faith, ability to reason etc so they might as well take their money too.
