1.6% of the American population says that the Bible can’t be trusted in what it says. Example: Atheists used to say that Sennacherib was one of the Bible’s many non historic kings.
Why would they do this? Well, according to atheists, if any historical document has been included into the Bible it should automatically be considered a lie or legend or myth.
The Biblical account goes, "So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.". [2 Kings 19. 36,37]
Traditionally, atheists have said that none of these individuals existed and certainly this event never took place.
Then clay tablets were uncovered that describe the same event. The clay tablet of the record is now in the British Museum. It reads in part, 'On the twentieth day of the month Tebet Sennacherib king of Assyria his son slew him in rebellion... Esarhaddon his son sat on the throne of Assyria.'
Once again atheists were proven wrong and the Bible was proven correct.
Will this and 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, 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.

Right after a post on morality, and many comments, you write a dishonest post where you lie about Atheists.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit ironic...
Everybody sins (do bad things), we are all bad people who deserve hell, ok, we got it, but I'm pretty sure that we all agree, both believers and non-believers, that what is especially bad is to purposely do bad things, to purposely lie and try to deceive others.
Lying for Jesus is bad!!
ReplyDeleteBut if you tell I lie for Jesus, it's moral?
ReplyDeleteAnd you wanted us to believe morality was objective?
Yeah, but when Rod lies your objectively know it's wrong in this situation.
ReplyDelete...well, in other situations lying might be right... you know, like to save Jews from Nazis...
Wait a minute, morals are situational!
What abou the intentions? he seems to be genuine and want to point out "errors" in Atheistic thinking as he says. But after so many people telling him he is misrepresenting Atheism, I am starting to doubt that he is that stupid..
ReplyDeleteThat's weird isn't it? He looks like so much like an idiot when writing that kind of post that I end up defending him, in a way, by claiming that no, someone cannot be THAT stupid, he must be deceivful and purposely misrepresenting Atheists because he does not like them.
But again, would that be better? It is certainly not more moral, it is actually much less moral... hum... So, is he a sinful lyer or lacking mental capabilities? I did mention before that he seemed to be suffering from a form of mind-blindness regarding Atheism, but I am not completely convinced.
