I asked you why Paul does not tell us about the road to D

he makes no mention himself at all.

I told you why. They write as they are borne along by Holy Spirit. Paul did not not write it. He might have wanted to. The Holy Spirit didn't tell it by Paul. Eh?

For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21

Reading the Bible does not get you a proper view of the people who wrote it. It is a mind picture of God. It is how we know God not how we know men.

I don't know why this is still being debated. Post #180 by our venerable Angellous is the hands-down thread-killer here.

Every word ever written about any god was done so by man and man alone.

Anything else is pure 100% fanaticism, hope and wishful thinking.

I wonder if you can admit to the forum community here your stand that if you have not witnessed something is true it isn't, according to you? Am I understanding you correctly?

You have no reason to believe the truth of The Lord so it isn't true. Is this a correct assessment? God hasn't appeared to outhouse which means God hasn't appeared to anyone. Am I right?

Please do not feel picked on. It is a public forum. At least I think it is. So the question can be asked of anyone with the same mindset. Is it true that nothing is real unless You know it is?

His question is a historic/literary one. Therefore, to state a theological belief at this point (though it may be real for you) does not adequately answer the question. The answer has far more to do with who wrote what when -- to whom and for what purpose, than it does with the mysterious workings of the H.S.

No one is able to know for what purpose anything is written. It is ALL guessing. For whom it is written is guessing too.
By the way, there was no question. Before that post there was a question. This:
So casper is intellectually challenged, and contradicts himself?

No.

No.

God would have to exist before it could appear to anyone.



Quit confusing lack of education, and what professors know.

So cute! Professors know God doesn't exist. Amazing! We are happy you have found plenty of support for your nonbelief.

We know that Luke's purpose in Acts was to write a history, because he says so. We know, for the most part, who Paul's audiences were, and the problems/issues he addressed in his letters. It's not "all guessing."

The question that was asked was: "I asked you why Paul does not tell us about the road to D"

He did not tell "us" because it was personal. I don't tell RF everything and you don't either. No one does. I know things I never told anyone.

Huh? In Luke 1, it explicitly states that he's writing a history. And Luke/Acts reads exactly like an ancient history.

What? Paul might have told HIS FRIENDS. And his friends told friends. Until someone called Luke wrote it down. Duh? Paul's letters were not to his friends. Paul's letters were to people wanting to know Christ, not wanting to know Paul.

God does not exist scientifically, because there is no evidence to observe.


There is how ever evidence in support of all gods being created by man.

Your god a compilation of two gods, combined with the lack of biblical credibility due to the many historical factual errors, and of followers reading mythology literally.
