I know the Bible exists what I'm asking is can you prove that the stories and rules in it are real that they have any credit to them because if all you can do is use Bible quotes to prove the Bible then it doesn't seem like the stories are real.

God knows there will always be people like you, unsaved and possibly beyond salvation. That is why Hell has a greater capacity than Heaven. You are free to believe what you want to believe and disbelieve what you don't want to believe. God is free to boot you into the Lake of Fire at His convenience. Beware, Dotty; there are no guarantees. You could pass at any time and find yourself afloat in the fiery pit before you know what has happened.

Who would make up a story about a flood that wipes out all life in the world except for eight humans and a carefully curated selection of animals?
Who would make up a story about a talking ass, or someone who could stop the sun as it moves across the sky?
In the Bible, God feeds people with food from the sky and parts the waters of the sea. Jesus feeds thousands of people with a box lunch of bread and fishes and He walks on top of water.
There are stories about a guy whose strength is sapped because he gets a haircut and a young man who brings down a looming giant with only a slingshot.
Who would think to make up such stories? And why would they bother? Are they are trying to trick us into enjoying eternal life at God's side and avoiding the horrors of hell?
What kind of con job is that? The Bible offers believers bliss and warns them against terrifying pain. Who would lie about something as important as that? What would be the point? Most people lie to get something good for themselves and avoid suffering bad consequences.
Lying to give other people the blessings of heaven and help them to avoid suffering in hell strikes me as very silly, indeed.
When people who follow false religions lie they are clearly doing it for nasty, selfish reasons.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

The Bible is regarded as a sacred text written by divine inspiration by the Muslims, too.
So even Muslims agree that the Bible is real.
The challenge for you to provide evidence from the Koran proving that the Koran is as true as the Bible still stands.

As sister Basilissa mentioned above, the Mooselimbs recognize the Bible as a holy text. And even the Joos draw upon the Old Testament. Combined with Christians, this makes three major world religions that accept the Bible. Basically most of the world, then. How many other religions can you name that have two major religions confirming them? Wicca? Scientology? Get real! Only Christianity can make that claim.
Now consider this. The Bible names specific places, places we either confirm or disprove the existence of. So all you need to do is pull up a web browser, find a travel service, and see if you can book a flight to Damascus. Then pick up your Holy Bible, turn to Genesis 14:15 and lo and behold, Damascus is mentioned right there.
There you have it. Independent, non-Biblical confirmation of factual Biblical data.
I expect to see you in church soon, now that you have undeniable proof.
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Now consider this, Harry Potter names specific places that we can prove or disprove e.g London, New York
I mean it's not an unheard of thing to base stories in real world locations.
Harry Potter does it (London), Marvel does it (New York) and so does the Bible

And Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station too? So do you think this is "real"?
Or do you think it is a fake tourist attraction designed for the terminally* stupid?

Indeed, dear sinner. We are well aware of this and we also know that witchcraft is real and dangerous.
Nahum 3:4
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Acts 8:9
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
It is quite possible that the events described in the Harry Potter Heresy are based on quite real occurrences, and the main goal of the author (and she has attained it) must have been to normalize witchcraft in the minds of unsuspecting youngters to lure them unto the bosom of the Enemy. Your observations strengthen our suspicions. We've been trying to warn the population because of these books but too many neglect us!
Let us hope and pray that your post will make at least one more gullible young person realize that there are evil forces, such as the demons depicted in the Potter Heresy, that should not be taken lightly!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

No, I didn't mean to say Harry Potter is real.
I meant that your argument saying that the Bible is real because it references real world places is correct.
And one thing I want to know is what is wrong with magic? If your using magic for good then it should be ok right? In a way Jesus has a sort of magic in the sense that he holds amazing healing powers.

Are you sure that this is not a non sequitur? You claim that because the Bible mentions real places, it is not real but it is incorrect. If we extrapolate from this assertion and look at some of the authors that you probably revere, we get some quite interesting results.
Mr. Darwin (the heretic) wrote The Voyage of the Beagle in the 1830's. The observations he made eventually caused the terrible debacle of The Origin of Species, but that is irrelevant right now. What is pivotal is that Mr. Darwin references several real places in his book.
Quote:
Chapter 1 - St. Jago -- Cape de Verd Islands
Chapter 2 - Rio de Janeiro
Chapter 3 - Maldonado
Chapter 4 - Rio Negro to Bahia Blanca
Chapter 5 - Bahia Blanca
Chapter 6 - Bahia Blanca to Buenos Ayres
Chapter 7 - Buenos Ayres and St. Fe
Chapter 8 - Banda Oriental and Patagonia
Chapter 9 - Santa Cruz, Patagonia, and the Falkland Islands
Chapter 10 - Tierra Del Fuego
Chapter 11 - Strait of Magellan -- Climate of the Southern Coasts
Chapter 12 - Central Chile
Chapter 13 - Chiloe and Chonos Islands
Chapter 14 - Chiloe and Concepcion: Great Earthquake
Chapter 15 - Passage of the Cordillera
Chapter 16 - Northern Chile and Peru
Chapter 17 - Galapagos Archipelago
Chapter 18 - Tahiti and New Zealand
Chapter 19 - Australia
Chapter 20 - Keeling Island: -- Coral Formations
Chapter 21 - Mauritius to England
|
As we can see, he mentions among others Rio, Chile, Peru, Austria, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Godless England. Let us look at your argument one more time and apply it to Mr Darwin's oeuvre.

You're thus claiming that Mr. Darwin's works are incorrect if they mention real places. What does this mean for the evolutionary theory? Let us examine The Origin of Species! Are there any real places referenced in that book? Actually, the first sentence contains a real place called South America (Mexico).
Quote:
WHEN on board H.M.S. Beagle, as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent.

You've just proven evolution wrong!
Incidentally, witchcraft is bad because Jesus has explicitly classified it as evil.
1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

No I meant your argument for the Bible being real is incorrect as many other made up stories have used real world places.
Also if magic is used for good e.g healing, building then why is it bad? In Harry Potter magic is used in both good and bad ways

Now you're moving the goalposts. It's the old atheism of the gaps argument that was introduced by Mr. Dawkins. You're also employing special pleading in the way that the Bible would be incorrect because it mentions real places but it would not matter when discussing secular science. Our home base is much more secure as it is never-changing!
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Your ideas of "good" and "evil" are flawed as they are not based on the Bible. The secular outcome of an action is irrelevant. Acts that Glorify God and Jesus are the Good Ones when (and only when) they are committed by True Believers™. "Healing" can be good if it performed properly (Matthew 10:8; Luke 10:9), but if an atheist heals, it is evil. In fact, everything that unbelievers do is by definition evil even it it looks good to unsaved eyes.
Psalms 14:1
(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
No secular actions, including secular magic, are good. It is always corrupt. Q.E.D.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

I didn't use quotes to prove the Bible [sic] although I did use one to demonstrate what a quote was. Did the helicopter analogy not work for you? If you have a preferred species I can use that instead or I could do a soft furnishings analogy for you. In comparing The Bible with other so-called religious writings you are necessarily comparing the text. I can tell because you didn't mention binding fabric. Or typefaces. But you didn't include any sample text or any sources for what were supposed to be quotes. That makes it very difficult for us to help you. How do we know these other religious books aren't just blank paper? That would make it very easy to prove authorship.
So far then, you've rejected a response not using Bible quotes while still bleating for responses not using Bible quotes. Can you see where this is leading?

That is a very good reason why The Bible is the True Word of God at least as far as prophets go.
There are other books claiming to be written by other prophets but which are NOT The Bible, such as the book of mormon for example. How do we tell the difference? How do we know The Bible is the ONLY True Word of God?

That is so true. Consider Exodus 2: 12:
Quote:
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
|
Here, via Moses, the Bible teaches us an important lesson: Always make sure nobody else is looking when you kill someone.
And hide the body afterwards.
