Re: More links to evidence so perhaps Dawn will get a clue.
Dawn Bertot writes: jar writes: What we are testing is whether or not what they wrote applies to Jesus. It is irrelevant whether what they wrote is reliable or accurate; it is what they wrote. We can test what they wrote to see if what they wrote refers to Jesus. That is palpably, the most ignorant statement I have ever seen or read "it does not matter whether they were reliable or accurate" why dont you add "believable" Give me a minute, I cant stop laughing No one in any area of investigation, in any science would take such an approach yet Jar proudly and confidently claims as much Your a hoot man Yes, we have seen you claim that. But when will you explain why "That is palpably, the most ignorant statement I have ever seen or read"? Are we not looking at what was written?

Re: How to test Dawn Bertot's writings.
The bible contradicts itself on many occasions Those have been explained a thousand times over
the bible is wrong on lots of facts Depending on whos explanation you accept
No prophecies presented on this forum are actual prophecies and none have come to pass You are entitled to atleast, your opinion. Buz has demonstrated that Israel regaining thier status as a nation, after having been scattered to the ends of the earth, that you are in possible error
So it is reasnoble to conclude that the Bible is not the word of god and it is in fact a book written by mere mortals trying to push their morality upon the mases and trying to explain what they do not understand its only reasonable if your above premesis are true, they are not Dawn Bertot

Re: How to test Dawn Bertot's writings.
Dawn Bertot writes: Buz has demonstrated that Israel regaining thier status as a nation, after having been scattered to the ends of the earth, that you are in possible error No, not true. Buz has asserted that is a fact but has not provided any support for that position. He knows that it will not stand up to examination which is why he avoids repeating such nonsense in an open forum where he knows it will get torn to shreds. BUT WAIT ... There's more ... If I look and find that there is no unity of doctrine and theme in the Bible (which is pretty obvious to anyone that understands there is not even such a thing as "The Bible") is that not sufficient and supportable reason to throw away the god and religion you try to market? If I find the Bible to be just a collection of writings on a variety of subjects addressed to people of different eras and cultures, why is that not sufficient?

Re: How to test Dawn Bertot's writings.
How does it do that, DB? Are Romans really Assyrians? Does the New Testament talk about "seven shepherds,
even eight leaders of men?" This prophecy, like all deliverance prophecies are about God and God alone. There is an involvement of the current events and future events in the prophecy the shepherds and leaders may have reference to some, then current even in Gods plan or they may have an explanation in the time of Christ They may be a symbol of Gods power then or now. The numbers themself may be symbolic
How does it do that, DB? it should seem obvious that there is a transition of thought about 'time', when he says, "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clansb of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose originsc are from of old, from ancient times. God is actually talking about himself. Iam the deliverer now and will eventually deliver the whole world out of bondage, by ones whos going and coming in, are from everlasting.

Re: How to test Dawn Bertot's writings.
So God came out of Bethlehem Ephrathah and it is not talking about Jesus at all. Gottcha. Of course he did, since he was God born as a man. I did not say it was not talking about Jesus entirely, I said its main thrust is and only about God as a deliverer
Gottcha. How exacally? Dawn Bertot Edited by Dawn Bertot, : No reason given. Edited by Dawn Bertot, : No reason given.

In other words you cannot explain any of this mumbo-jumbo. And if I squeeze my eyes hard enough and wish hard enough I can come up with my own explanation. I think that about covers it. Right? Oh yeah one more question. Who decides how "they were intended" to be read? You must know of someon in charge since there are so many variations of how people believe "they were intended" to be read. I mean you wouldn't just spout nonsense would you? Edited by Theodoric, : Fixed are/were

Re: How to test Dawn Bertot's writings.
IOW, it can mean whatever you want it to mean. This would be true, if I wrote the books of the NT, I was inspired by God to explain the fulfillment of the words he gave the prophets Luckly, "you" and "I" are not the ones giving the meanings, this was accomplished by the same type of prophet in the NT, that Jar relies for his explanation in the OT prophets Its not necessary for every word or idea to be explained in full for the NT writes to explain Gods overall plan Dawn Bertot

It is English, Dawn. It means "I understand". No doubt the irony will be lost on you.

Re: Please explain
Who decides how "they were intended" to be read? You must know of someon in charge since there are so many variations of how people believe "they were intended" to be read. I mean you wouldn't just spout nonsense would you? Let the scriptures be thier own best interpreter. When speaking of understanding Gods plans, he says "Though he be a fool or a wayfaring man, he shall not err therein" Are you sure you not trying to miss it on purpose, closing your eyes to its simplicity
From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book" 092-The King's Highway "The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." (Isaiah 35:8) "The way of holiness is so straight and plain that the simplest minds cannot go astray if they constantly follow it. The worldly wise have many twists and turns, and yet they make terrible blunders and generally miss their end. Worldly policy is a poor, shortsighted thing, and when men choose it as their road, it leads them over dark mountains. Gracious minds know no better than to do as the Lord bids them; but this keeps them in the King's highway and under royal protection." Spurgeon Dawn Bertot Edited by Dawn Bertot, : No reason given.
