Bible verse by verse

[_LittleNipper]

Because what GOD reveals is truth He is not the puppet of one "educated" individual's mindset...

Nope--this has nothing to do with Yahweh's fetish for primitive tribesmen obsessed with human sacrifice and bodily fluids. You're dodging the question.

Why do these simple, straightforward questions frighten you?

---- such as a ""Mohamed" or a "Joseph Smith"...

What makes your mythology better than theirs?

A real person in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 33:1-22 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you who are justified; it is fitting for upright people to praise Him.

Acclaim the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.

Sing to Him a new song played skillfully, and shout for joy.

For the Lord's Word is accurate and honest; He is always faithful.

The Lord loves uprightness and respect; the earth is full of His unending love.

By the word of the Lord the heavens appeared --- the stars by the breath of his mouth.

He gathers the waters of the sea into bulges; He puts the deep into reserve.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world respect Him.

For He spoke, and it all happened; He commanded, and it remained.

The Lord upsets the plans of nations; He subverts the will of the peoples.

The goal of the Lord remains unchanged forever, the purposes of His heart outlast all generations.

Blessed will be nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

From heaven the Lord perceives all mankind;

from His dwelling place He watches all who exist on earth—

He who created everyone's soul, and considers everything they do.

No king is saved by military might; no soldier escapes by his own power.

A vehicle is a vain hope for escape; despite all its horsepower it cannot save.

But the Lord see those who fear him ---- trusting is in His never-ending love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

We stand in hope of the Lord; he is our help and our shield.

In him our souls leap, for we trust in his holy name.

May your never-ending love be with us, Lord, as we put our faith in you.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.

2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,

3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

4 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.

5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

7 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

8 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

9 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.

11 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

12 O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

13 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,

21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

A real person in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because that's what the Bible says?

[Because that's what the Bible says?

Well for one The city of Metropolis, never existed ---- even in the 1940's.

There is plenty of proof that Jesus was a historic individual. Please see: http://y-jesus.com/wwrj/1-jesus-real-person/

"Metropolis" is a metaphorical New York City. "Gotham" is also a metaphorical New York City.

I'm surprised that someone who claims to have studied the Bible as much as you have doesn't know what a metaphor is.

Wrong--you're conflating evidence with proof. HINT: The dictionary is your friend.

The fact that Jesus may have existed doesn't mean he's a superhero.

The Apostle Paul said, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God (God-breathed) ..."

"God-breathed"? Does that have something to do with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

What's the point of calling it "God's word" if he neither wrote nor dictated it?

I've proven that Jesus was a real person unlike Clark Kent. If you wish to spit in the face of God, I'm not going to assist you in that quest.

No--you've posted a link to some negligible evidence supporting a historical Jesus, but you've proven nothing.

To conflate evidence with proof is less than honest.

Nipper, why do certain Christians find it necessary to use deception in order to propagate their faith?

Here's a familiar example of what I'm talking about:

And if the hammer and its handle is recent, how did it come to be embedded in ancient rock? Does that mean that such ancient rock may not be as old as uniformitarians think? OR are you in error concerning the age of this hammer. Which is it? Why do evolutionists fail to mention the Creator? Do they use exclusion tactics to promote their own naturalist theories? Have uniformitarians proven with repeatable experimentation the "truth" of their declarations?
