Where does Walker distort the facts?? Consider, as well, if they are distorted , they still remain as an absolute contradiction to a simplistic and uncritical view of the bible.If your theories were correct then it would be expected that they would be completely different. The facts reveal that the two are virtually identical Is the adventitious circumstance of ONE copy of a biblical chapter having correspondence to about 95 % of another copy of ONE chapter, your ONLY argument to refute the thousands of scholarly books that have been written to explain that the bible is of human origin, and takes its stories from the primitive past?? Scholars have looked at the absurdities, cruelties, and inanities in the bible. They have shown how the bible was bastardised, invented, sanitised, reformed, etc. You, and others like you, have the amazing capacity to stand against all reason and ignore it to your utmost breath. The one time you appeal to reason is to assert that a copy of a copy of one chapter is reasonably close to that copy, and that THAT insignificant fact obliterates all rational knowledge gained in the endeavor of critiquing the origins of the bible. I would hate to have you sitting on a jury where the guilt or innocence of someone rested in your hands. resort to name calling and innuendo Publishing the opinion of a scholar is resorting to name calling and innuendo?? Are you becoming unhinged with all the hate and disagreement being hurled on the "Ask God" thread?? Here is the complete text of Luther's rebellion against his father. This will give you some ammunition to use against your fellow christians on the "Ask God" thread--that are only quoting you the bad parts of Luther's book.home.flash.net He wrote several other hate books, you know. Those are the kind of facts that I deal in; Not, "everything in the bible is a fact because I assert it to be so, and if it seems like it isn't, then reason is to blame". Let me know if you would like the texts of these hate books, or would you prefer the hate from the biblical texts? Another objective look at the life of Jesus for you to ignore:wsu.edu
