Some people conflate issues worlds apart. You conflate issues universes apart. The different nature in the past on earth is a different issue than the supposed homogeneity of time in the universe.
Don't care. Neither have evidence. Equally crank.
You all use the same dating, and that is belief based. Besides the wrong dates used, the so called scholars you cited on history basically used selective and biased gossip and pipe dreams and doubts based on nothing.
The dating thing is done. There is no problem with dating except your beliefs.
With this statement I wasn't meaning dates at all. Historicity scholars use all source material. Concerning the NT it would be the Greek version. Using short catch phrases to debunk scholarship is like showing up at a quantum mechanics debate and saying "all your theories in modern physics are pipe dreams.....that's it, bye".
The video lecture I posted Carrier used only NT scripture to explain the mythic devices then compared stories directly to OT stories and demonstrated they were just copies. Same with the synoptic problem, they are talking about the Greek version. It's obvious by now, you have no response except to throw out a name, ad-hom, say it's "nothing" and move on.
So, hand wave at evidence you cannot use crank on and use crank on anything else. Ok, got it.
Give me one reason to toss it out?
I don't care what you do with it. This was showing how it does not have "harmonious flow".
Well, maybe there are earlier ones that will be found someday that did include it? Maybe some more bits of Marks' writings previously not known were found and included later? Etc. Who knows?
Uh, scholars who study it their entire lives would be the ones to ask. It was edited for a reason. If you care to learn about your own scripture then look into it. Or not.
What I would ask is can you prove it is not inspired by God?
When something is
unfalsifiable that means nothing.
I can't prove it wasn't inspired by Santa Clause.
I mean if God wanted to appear like the exact mythology that was already spreading around the region then he accomplished that.
Hey maybe Mark had a stroke and got a slightly different style? Who knows? Maybe he just didn't finish his gospel but what he had was so good people wanted to include it, and later he finished it up? Etc. Who knows. Who really cares? Is it evil? Is it opposed to the rest of the bible and God? What is the problem. I suspect some religious folks might really be wanting to get rid of something in the lat bit that doesn't sit well with their own pet doctrines.
No that is not clear. Maybe he covered some of the same stuff.
This has...what to do with your failed science predictions?
Wow. Seriously, wow. You can't remember what this response came from? Really?
Hint #1 - "harmonious"
Hint #2 - "flow"
Hint #3 - obvious lack of
Jesus showed all the stuff before Him was real and that is where the prophesies were about Him.
Uh, right but you cannot show that the NT wasn't written to create the messiah who was predicted in the OT. So it is not a proven prophecy. In fact this is extremely likely what the NT is. An updated OT where the prophecy/messiah actually happens. They even use transformations of OT stories.
Which I sourced and you had nothing to say about.
Some heathen used a few of the same words as God. Whoopee do.
A few words?
"Historical features of Zoroastrianism, such as
messianism, judgment after death,
heaven and
hell, and
free will may have influenced other religious and philosophical systems, including
Second Temple Judaism,
Gnosticism,
Greek philosophy,
[7] Christianity,"
also "a future
saviour of the
world " described in Yasht 19.88-96, where it is stated that he will achieve the Frashokereti, that he will make the
world perfect and immortal, and evil and Druj will disappear.
Also the modern idea of Satan as in opposition to God and influencing people.
world savior shows up, gets followers into afterlife, defeats devil
And before that in Islam the dead laid in their grave and Satan worked with Yahweh.
We do not see the oceans turn to blood yet. It is not rocket science to know that is in the future.
Judges
God promised many times that he would drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they encountered.
But he failed to keep that promise 1:19,
1:21-27,
3:1-5

Psalms
The land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt." Judah never invaded Egypt and was never a military threat to Egypt. 19:17
This verse predicts that there shall be five cities in Egypt that speak the Canaanite language. But that language was never spoken in Egypt, and it is extinct now.
19:18
These verses predict that the Egyptians will worship the Lord (Yahweh) with sacrifices and offerings. But Judaism has never been an important religion in Egypt. 19:18-21
These verses predict that there will be an alliance between Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. But there has never been any such alliance, and it's unlikely that it ever will since Assyria no longer exists. 19:23-24
