What is the biggest bible contradiction?

Of course that is NOT what the Bible says or implies at all. It says nothing about humanism and in fact GOD Herself acknowledges that humans have become like Gods in many ways.Genesis 3 still: The man is become as one of usNothing there about humanism.

I have read a lot of Lewis, and he is a very skilful writer, very easy to read. I have enjoyed a few of his books, in fact I only finished reading 'Surprised by Joy' on Friday. I think he was certain to return to Christianity and he basically talked himself into it. But that doesn't take away from his quality as a writer. It means how can we verify the likelihood that the event happened. How do we go about checking if it was possible? Have we anything to compare it with, do any other writers mention it, is it something that was likely to happen unnoticed? of course it does, all of history is constructed by the human mind. We would first have to define what a miracle is and if what happened fits into that defintion, or if there was a natural explanation for it. Even if it was a 'miracle' it doesn't follow that there is a God. Of course He would have to say that, covering the bases.Maybe if Jesus came to earth and performed this task under scientific conditions then He would be taken seriously. But, as it stands, Jesus isn't really any more credible than any other magician. Well, to be fair, there always is. It may well be.But, isn't the natural world the only world we can examine and verify? Christians have their absolutes as well you know.However, when we examine the Gospels and add up the errors in them, including the historical inaccuracies, it is really only fair to reject them as reliable. There may well be some truth in them, but I think it would be difficult to weed these things out.Brian.

That reminds me... I wanted to suggest we have a one on one discussion on the need for a cause. We were discussing it earlier in this thread. Perhaps a great debate, but I really don't want a win or lose tooth and claw debate so much as an open discussion with you on the subject. I absolutely adore the way you think.Would you be willing to go back and find those exchanges and propose such a senario?

The hound is on your trail Brian...

I am very concerned we are going to get slapped for topic violation. Would you like to propose a great debate in which we can let the topics and disciplines fly?

Nah.I was set free from the myth of Christ a long time ago.I hope you don't waste your whole life away self deluding yourself into thinking some ancient campfire tales are true.Brian.

read 305... accually we are at 300 posts so the thread will be closed soon.Edited by scottness, : No reason given.

I think we are within topic range But the thread will be closed soon as there's a software problem when threads go over 300 messages.I'm sure there will be a part two though.Brian.

If man becomes the God of the world (which he has) through his suducing spirit (the serpent), then what we have is humanism.Fortunately, God will not allow that to be absolute, because He is good. All of this msery and decay brought about by our humanistic optimism, will be one day reconciled once and for all.Edited by scottness, : No reason given.Edited by scottness, : No reason given.

I was simply pointing out what God said in Genesis 3. He said nothing about humanism, nothing about a "suducing[sic] spirit", only that Man had become as one of us.I think you must be one of those Christians who think there was some Fall.
