Ever seeking to prove the bible wrong and mythical, and never ceasing. What's your mission, T? You get on a Christian forum and do nothing but intend to shoot down faith in the God of the Bible. Why the vengeance?
You don't think that is what he is really trying to do?
Why would someone want to waste their time doing such a destructive thing as that?

Believe me, that's all he has been doing for the most part on this forum. Seriously. And that is the same question I am asking. WHY? lol

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
So you compare the writing with the Bible. If it doesn't contradict, does that prove that God spoke those words to the writer?
Nope, but it's a place to start.

As to your question, asking what I did doesn't do any such thing.
What?

The question I posed on this thread does not do what you accuse me of doing. Well, unless someone reads it and it occurs to them that they can't possibly know whether any particular writing was God-inspired or not, and take the logical step that even the Bible would have the same problem -- that you cannot know that it itself is inspired by God, unless, say, you think you have the supernatural power to determine such things, and of course conclude "No" for some books (Quran, Book of Mormon, e.g.) and "Yes" for others (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, etc., e.g.). But then, don't blame me: such a person's faith wasn't very strong anyway. Pray for them. That will fix it.

God spoke to me. This is what He said: " ___________ "
What's in the blank is irrelevant to my question, but you would be able to read it, if it helps determine whether it came from God or not. And my question is this:
If you found that paper, would you be able to know if God really said what it says?
Not from the piece of paper. And if the statement isn't egregiously in violation to Scripture, you'd not be able to tell by the statement itself. If it were from God, you'd feel a witness to it's truth in your spirit.
Not sure everyone understands the question. It's not "Can you rule it out if it disagrees with other books that you have previously accepted as divinely inspired?" Rather, it asks if you can tell whether or not that particular paper accurately records something God has actually spoken to someone, as it claims. Ruling it out, if it's false, is part of it, but if you can't rule it out, you have to keep going: did God say it?
Today is December 23.
Does that contradict the Bible? No. Did God tell me that it is December 23? You tell me.
