Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth
Another "science" of interest to Mr Reject might be archæology - I can't be bothered to track back to his actual post but the point is brought up fairly very frequently by hoi polloi (great unwashed sub-class/genus unchurched/sp. illiterati): if The Bible was so poorly transmitted how come all ancient fragments are the same?
For example a fragment of Job is easily identifiable as Job because it is the same as the Job we have!
In II Kings 21 the Israelites have been acting up like regugnant and abominable filth as usual, until someone discovers The Book Of The Law and reads it. The written record was accurate and it is exactly the same as the Deuteronomical record we have today. What happened next? Here is II Kings 22. When people start making things up, worshipping sacred poles & temple rent-boys, conducting séances and marrying foreigners, they are choosing death. It was the written word THEN that corrected them and it is the same perfectly preserved written Word Of God that protects us from error and certain destruction NOW. Our God is the God of life.
Praise Him!
DEUTERONOMY 17
18 And it shall be when he sitteth vpon the Throne of his kingdome, that he shall write him a copy of this Law in a booke, out of that which is before the Priests the Leuites.
19 And it shall be with him, and hee shall reade therein all the dayes of his life, that hee may learne to feare the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this Law, and these Statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart bee not lifted vp aboue his brethren, and that hee turne not aside from the Commandement, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that hee may prolong his dayes in his kingdome, hee, and his children in the midst of Israel.
