1.6% of the North American population says that the Bible can’t be trusted in what it says.
Example: Atheists used to say that any and all of the kings mentioned in the bible were non historic. They denied any part of 1st and 2nd King as being historically accurate.
Why would they make such a statement? Well, according to atheists, if any historical document has been included into the Bible it should automatically be considered a lie or legend or myth.
Then at Tel Dan in upper Galilee in Northern Israel inscriptions on basalt stone were uncovered. They were part of the paving near the entrance of the outer gate of the ancient city of Dan. This Aramean victory stela could well have been destroyed by the Jews (2 Kings 15.29 2. 1 Kings 22.10 3. 1 Kings 15.16-20) and its fragments used in the construction of the area surrounding the entrance gate to the city.
At any rate, the inscription was the first reference found outside the Bible to 'The House of David.' The conquests recorded on the stones are related to the events written in the first book of Kings, where Asa, king of Judah, bribed king Ben- hadad to go to war with Baasha king of Israel 1 Kings 15v16-20] When Israel recaptured the city of Dan, after Ahab king of Israel's defeat by Ben-Hadad as described in 1 Kings 20. Since then, all of the Kings listed in the Bible have been confirmed as historical figures by extra Biblical inscriptions.
Will this and several dozen similar examples put an end to these people’s claim that the Bible can’t be trusted? Of course not. This 1.6% of the population still maintains their implausible position that what the Bible says cannot be trusted, not because of the evidence but in spite of the evidence. They must do this or their world-view will collapse.
This is what these people are like. It’s how they think.

JesusNeverExisted said..."Historical evidence for someone

Yes according to the calculations of faith, this seems to be how faith calculates matters.
Historical evidence also exists, that suggest Benny Hinn is proved to actually exist.
Equals = So then Benny Hinns miracles must then also be honest and correct!.
98.4% of the population faithfully believe this way.Not because of good evidence, but in spite of the lack of any real good evidence.They must do this or their world-view will collapse.

1,History proves Joe blogs actually exists.
ReplyDelete2,Joe blog claims he had a personal supernatural experience with Jesus who then cured him of cancer.
3,Proof by history + unverified claim = proof = faith
For continued faith.
4,Turn blind eye to many scientific tests which conclude it seems there is actually little honest testable connection between supernatural cures and faith, that cannot be explained and even recreated by a phenomenon already well known as being the placebo effect.The placebo effect works just the same way in many other situations where good feelings can assist in creating a more positive attitude leading to faster healing and better well being.Listening to the sounds of "Iggy Pop{" or "Ozzy Osbourne" might even work just the very same way in creating a positive attitude and so producing better effects! in healing patterns for certain folks .
