I agree completely and you make an important observation that I had not completely considered.

"The historical method can only tell us what probably or most likely happened in the past. Since miracles are, by definition, improbable, if not in fact impossible, they are methodologically outside the bounds of historical inquiry.
History, then, as a disciple, cannot tell us if Jesus was divine or worked miracles any more than it can for Alexander the Great or Caesar Augustus[...]Any supernatural claim about Jesus can only be accepted as a matter of faith. Again, this is the domain of theology rather than history."

- Hah, hah! You nailed it! That's probably who they are, the Communists and the Socialists! Adversaries to the ordered society with Capitalism under Democracy and Human Rights (UDHR).ThePainefulTruth wrote:Problem, over time, the poor become more corrupt than any capitalist, selling their souls for wealth redistribution, under government guns.
I'm cool!

I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.
You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.
To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight

The Gospel of John especially seems more responsible than any other for violence in the name of the "Gospel" than any other NT book. Good examples, then there's John 14.6. All around, well said. Thanks for making those points.

Odd,I have been finding PhD to be increasingly useless and parochial, and willing to allow their position to allow them to take credit for, what is rapidly becoming, people without PhD's work.

I didn't read a single word you just wrote in those two pages, but hot damn, did you come swinging or what?
You're good people, JW. I think you're bonkers but I'm also positive you're a solid guy.
