Hi jaywill,
quote:
If the New Testament as the oracles of God...
And there lies your problem. How do we know that the Bible is "the oracle of God"? Peg suggests that we can place our faith in the Bible because of fulfilled prophecy. If we know that the prophecy has been fulfilled because it says so in the Bible, and we know that the Bible is true because of fulfilled prophecy, we are left with nothing but circular reasoning.
Evidence for biblical veracity which itself depends upon belief in the Bible as a prerequisite is worthless.

that is the end of the matter.
If you are really so lacking in curiosity, then there is little point in your debating the issue. Indeed, there can be no genuine debate with such an attitude.
