freddie i asked you explain some of the cr#p you regurgitated earlier.. i'm still waiting for your answers.
aren't you able to defend your god the watchtower corporation against some simple questions?.
i'm sure if you went to the elders and told them some interested person you met on the internet wanted answers they would help you to make a good witness for the organisation.. why not ask them fred after all they are there to help you.
Dear Fred
you wrote "Why don't you do your own research? And I don't need no elders to help me with your crappy questions too. Your answers can be found in the Bible and Bible based publications."
I done my own research and you said that I have got it wrong.So my challenge to you is to produce your evidence.
But you have no intention of doing this. You are nothing but a trouble maker and a coward as you hide behind the internet to call people names.

i want to share a perspective, with everyone that comes here to read, for i feel it will take some of us in a new direction.
perhaps it will allow for some creative thinking and interesting discussion or maybe it simply wont go anywhere.
it does not really matter either way, for there are subjects which can only be speculated on and thoughts which can only be shared.

Still not sure on this one.I want to believe that there is a God up there but again I can see so many similarities to myths and legends pre Isrealite days.
But is there any proof that Jesus was alive and what about all the prophecies in the Bible that have come true?

i recently finished reading the bible unearthed: archaeology's new vision of ancient israel and the origin of its sacred texts by israel finkelstein and neil asher silberman.
here is part of a review that drew my attention to the book:.
the book reaches its conclusions from a huge array of archaeological evidence of different kinds, some quite clever, such as the analysis of camel bones; others representing new trends in field archaeology, such as settlement surveys.

But is it saying that the Bible is fabrication or is to be taken literaly?

so is the book "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts" providing evidence that the Bible acounts are right or is it trying to say some thing else?

been doing a bit of reading on mithras.. this essay contains some interesting information.
count the parallels between the legends of mithras and that of christ.. one of the "proofs" given to show that the gospels must be divinely inspired is that relatively simple men of the first century could not have fabricated such a powerful mythos.
a simpler explanation is that they merely made use of thousands of years of pre-existing religious ideas, shaping them to fit their own needs, as follows.. expatbrit.
Where did you get that info from? I need it! Can the info be verified by Museums etc?
BTW Simon, I prefer this board to H20!

Hi Ginny
Does the book make mention that th eSumerian legends were VERY similar to the Genesis account?

i am doing some research on neanderthals.
we know that this species existed and by very recent dna test we can tell that they are definitely not human.has any one done anything on this subject or the accuracy of carbon dating?
so what about the "prophecies" in the Bible etc, etc etc? Where do you define what is inspired and what is not?
BTW the text says "all scripture is inspired".

now you got me really confused. How can you put your trust in a book that you believe not to be inspired?
How can you take ANYTHING in the Bible to mean what it says then?
Was there a Christ?The Bible tells us that there was but how do we know that this bit was not "inspired" and just a story that sounded good?
I am not taking the Mickey. These are real questions that I have been asking myself these last two weeks. My wife has became a born again christian and cant believe that I am even doubting that there is a God.She wants me to have Faith but I can not unless I see some real prove. I have been decieved for 27 years. It is not going to happen again!
