What evidence is there for the miracles of the Bible OUTSIDE of the Bible?

by punkofnice in

ok. this is something i've wondered about.. people of certain religions tend to use their own holy book as evidence for things in itself.

this seems very circular to me.

using the book to prove the book in my view is pointless.. i am not aware of any of the 'miracles' of the bible or the quran as having any substantial evidence outside of themselves to give credibility to the books themselves.. has anyone come across such evidence?.

you who demands evidence from others, and then balks when someone asks that you back up your own claims

ha ha ha. I back up everything I say. The bullshitter tries her own tricks of calling bullshit, I see. Look at the thread you just posted on where you defending abolishning a child to the wilderness. You claim Jesus is the voice of God. Acts you agree with, like abolishing a child to the wilderness, you defend. Acts you do NOT like, such as cutting babies out of pregnant women's wombs, you deny as lies, even thought the same book calls them the words of God. Defend BS, accept BS, it's ALL based on which moral monstrosity you can live with and spin bullshit to support in your own head.

You can't do any of my thinking for me

Seriously. Someone should. If you lived as you preached (IOW, if you had the courage of your conviction and didn't wimp out) you would be in jail. The disconnect between what you preach and what you will commit to is staggeringly sad.

I'm sure if I do this thing you claim so very often, that you can bring to mind at least ONE example.

You do. Try reading your own posts regarding lying scribes. You use that excuse so often it covers at LEAST 3 examples. Rape, slavery, genocide, abortion. Ooops. Four. Wait, is Jesus the voice of god? Yes? No? Only when you say?

Logic chopping denial....engage for your defense of BS, Tec. Explain to me why the Bible is both wrong and right, Jesus is the voice of God except when you don't like, why, being he voice of God, he is always right except when he's not because you know better, blah blah blah.

Anyway, now that I've completely demonstrated your BS, I am off to bed. Sleep tight, say silly things while I am sleeping, I may care enough to remember to respond to your woo in the morning, if you're lucky.

EP, name one thing that I have denied that Christ has said because I did not like it.

Can't you remember them all? I don't care enough to remember them. Just think of something the Bible claims Jesus said that you claimed was "lying scribes" and there is your answer. You make that claim so often I figured you would have some index cards handy. Seriuously, I can't do all of your thinking for you. You have to do some on your own.

You do realize that Ishmael is closer to 17/18 years old when he is sent away because of the threat Sarah saw in him toward her son, Issac, right?

A 17 year old didn't get along with a toddler? BANISH THE 17 YEAR OLD TO THE WILDERNESS WITH HIS SLAVE MOTHER!

Because, you know, an all knowing god can't figure out how to deal with siblings that he commanded exist, even though
I can figure how to deal with my sibling children, one of whom was an accident.

Apparently I am smarter than Tec's god. Tec, you worship an incomptent moron of a douchebag monster.

Those children are a result of the choices man has made

You just tried (and failed) to defend God banishing a child that was a result of his request. Your right to call BS on religion has been suspended until Jesus (the voice of God according to you) answers up for all of the douchbagness man has done that you claim was OK.

Are you saying that he was visited by this angel?

His voices are as credible as yours.

Yet another Septuagint manuscript using the divine name found

by slimboyfat in

larry hurtado mentioned on his blog that yet another early manuscript of the septuagint has been found that uses the divine name instead of lord (kurios), this time representing the divine name with ancient hebrew letters (yhwh) in what is the earliest extant copy of the psalms in greek.

hurtado argues that the use of the definite article before the divine name indicates that the manuscript relies on earlier copies that used lord (kurios), but the fact remains that all the earliest copies of the septuagint that have survived use some form of the divine name and none use lord (kurios) as a substitute.

that's about ten out of ten for manuscripts of the septuagint earlier than mid-second century c.e so far.. http://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/new-oxyrhynchus-manuscripts/.

That's pretty normal. All of my driver's licenses have my address. Both things are normal.....

Is there somethining I am missing, other than YHWH is not partucularly divine? At least no more so than the kabobs I made tonight?

Tec will say anything to defend to the Jesus in her head. It's sad and pathetic that she will defend slavery and child abandonment because Jesus. Seriously, if she practiced the shit she advocated, she would be in jail. Sad that we have a better moral sense than the supposedly all-loving voice she worships.

EP... your question does not make sense. Yes, I am included in 'we'. But those two statments are saying the exact same thing.

Ha ha ha, you funny lady.

It doesn't matter what "we" think, unless the voice in your head you call Jesus tells you it's right and everyone else is wrong. Then it's not you, it's Jesus, the same person you deny when he says what you don't like but claim when you like what does say, even when it's from the same book of saying that magical voice on your head claims/denies based on your feelings.

Funny lady.

Seriously, Tec, try to say something that's not bullshit once in a while.

You're in a tough spot. All I can tell is that every day you stay, you sacrifice your future for others. I wish I had left long ago, I didn't get out until I was in my mid 30's. I am happier than I ever have been. It's hard, but it's YOU life, not theirs.

You keep going if you like EP. I have said what I intended to say.

You haven't said anything useful, simply attempted to hijack the word "evidence".

What I have never said... is that that what I think matters so much.

You said, and I quote: Not that it matters what we think on that matter. Are you not included in we? Do you get special exception? Logic chopping again? If so, it keeps in line with you claiming to know which parts of the Bible are "right", using it and denying it as suits your need.

But it is interesting that this is what you 'hear' and 'see' when you read my words.

More interesting is how you deny your own words when it suits your pusuit of woo.
