i can understand many argue that scientifically it is impossible for the earth to remain forever (sun dies).
what is wrong with the argument that god could refuel the sun?.
Maybe the term "refuel" isn't the best one to use. Couldn't Jehovah do whatever is needed to prevent the sun from dying? Since he wrote the laws of physics couldn't he circumvent them?
Sure. he would just have to change gravity, the strong and weak nuclear forces, the structure of atoms and space time itself, but why not.
Because we are JUST THAT IMPORTANT!
i'm beginning to have some doubts about my doubts.
this subject is one of them.. many argue that it is unfair, unloving, and unjust for god to destroy 99.9% of all mankind at armageddon.
but didn't this happen before in the days of noah?
I never said that was okay. I do not see how this is a valid comparison. I'm sorry.
God can kill us (even though we supposedly have free will) because he is bigger and stronger. Taking that to it's logical extension, I should be able to have my way with anyone I am bigger and stronger than.
I feel this is a much more valid point thatn the one about raping a women. I'll have to think more about this. Yet, I'd like to ask you. Was God wrong for killing Adam and Eve? They were created perfect. They were not sinful. Disobienence then was purposeful. If God made the rules, and they didn't play by them, who's fault is it then?
Then they really didn't have free will. God, he WTS, all lying about the free will. It's NOT free if you have to pay for it.
I don't think the bible says he tried to take God's power (maybe I misunderstand what you mean by power), but implicitly it says he did rebell.
So what did he do, exactly? Not implied, what did he do?
okay here is my thread to discuss this.
i believe the bible is inspired by god and reliable.
many argue it's neither.
Undeniable proof that it did not accurately predict the future.
You can't prove that something didn't happen when the thing you are asking about is open to interpretation.
You asked what would make me not believe. I told you. Can you proove that the bible did not accurately fortell the future, like Jeruselum's destruction as you allude to in your post?
Yes. I can. It foretold .... well, without interpretation, what did it foretell? That something bad would happen at some point.

I just feel if you think you have superior knowledge, then you should share it without insulting others. BTW I'm in no need of education in basic physics having started my education in high school in college physics.
The physics of how stars work is beyond explaining in a few paragraphs. I don't think I am SMARTER, per se, than anyone else in particular. Sorry you found my response impolite, but an JW apologists that claims to understand things that won't do basic research on his own shouldn't get info spoonfed.

The critics are bias, just as the "apologists" are, that is just human nature.
Hey, I am not biased. I just say what the evidence suggests (or practically proves).

If you understood it, you wouldn't be asking the question.

A GLOBAL flood, just to make it clear.
Bingo. I knew you had my back ;)

especially since 2 Peter references the Flood in comparison to Armaggedon
Jude references the Bok of Enoch, but that was an uninspired piece of shit according to the WT....

Since Revelation is mostly symbolic
How do you know the flood wasn't as well?

40 men wrote it over a span of 1600 years or so. But all 66 books are harmonious and contain a consistent theme. How could this be possible by humans alone?
Prove it. What is the theme?
It accurately fortold events. (i.e. naming who and how Babylon woud fall).
Prove it was written before babylon fell.
The notion that if everyone followed the morals of the bible the world would be a better place.
I know I would love to commit genocide but save the virgins for myself, or have sex with my slaves or some temple concubines.
Scientific accuracy in a time when people did not know about these things (progressive order of earth's preparation for human habitation, saying the earth was round and hung on nothing, water moves in a cycle, universe is governed by laws, what it touches on regarding heath and sanitation is accurate (quarantine, waste disposal, not having a calm mentality bad for the health)
Prove the earth was "prepared". How did light come about before the sun was created? Prove that no one else knew about these things and that in that way the bible is unique.
Honesty of it's writters
How can you prove they were honest?
