Does the Bible support Lee Strobel's claims? Part 1: Is the Bible of divine origin? Does archeology support the Bible?

  • All true corrections of historical errors on the part of the author(s) of the mentioned passages. But the Bible is not supposed to be seen as a 100% accurate historical document. Suppose I write a book on the character and nature of Abraham Lincoln. And all of my information is correct on him as a noble person. Knowing this purpose in my writing, would you get hung up if I mistakenly (not purposefully) said he was the 36th president and Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated him in his home?

  • @perichoresis7 of course I would. Even moreso than "Daniel"'s errors. He didn't have databases and an Internet. You do. :)

  • @TruthSurge But historical accuracy was not my focus. If the motive of the text is known, it should be read in that mindset.

  • @perichoresis7 You cannot always KNOW the intent and especially without knowing a LOT about where Mark (the first gospel) got his info from and what was going on in his day, when he wrote, etc. Who he was and was not. etc. Lots of learning and puzzle fitting b4 you could say you knew Mark's intent. As for history, if almost every detail of the gospel comes from OT stories/passages and Greek mythology, then it's not simply historically inacccurate. It's fiction.

  • @jimmo42 Thanks for answering, i'm intrigued so feel free to PM me if you want/need more space.. I love the tao de ching and when i was younger i described myself as a "philosophical taoist" but it is not based on reality and although it contains wisdom it is not intrinsically wise. Please don't start on quantum entanglement as a justification for the supernatural but do tell me if you believe in a personal god and if you don't why do you bother with religion? Why "he"? for instance

  • @1empathy I certainly disagree that it is is "just clever word play". There are many excellent lessons there no matter what your beliefs. (religious or not) I don't take my pantheism much past the belief that *if* there is a god, he is the same as the universe and that everything is connected in some way. (See "quantum entanglement")

  • Lao tzu reads well but if you accept reality (i do, you may not) then it is just clever word play. A pantheist does not believe in a personal god, so no salvation, no afterlife, no eternal justice etc, why bother? I'm not religious as they all make ridiculous and unfounded claims and i couldn't choose one over another.

  • @1empathy

    None of the above. ;-)

    The closest I thing to anything that has a name is that I might call myself a taoist pantheist. However, as with many things, the more you try to define it, the further you get from what you are trying to describe.

  • @jimmo42 Your post suggests you are not a christian. What religion are you?

  • Lee strobel, puttting the "ass" in assertions.
