"I believe the Bible to be 100% true, word for word."

Both Old and New Testaments?

Where does the Bible say otherwise?

If you think that "the Bible doesn't say men can't create languages" explains how languages and races go back at least as far as Noah despite the Bible's claims that they both started after Noah, then the debate is pointless.

So, keep ducking. This is how you once again have been able to out-debate me. You just refuse to address any question raised by your claims. Same pattern as always. You win.

"We give up the idea of Santa Claus by age 10. Why do we hold on to the idea of God?"

Because we see evidence that the presents come from friends and relatives, rather than Santa. We hold onto God because we don't know where the universe came from nor what happens to us after we die. Ignorance and fear. Ignorance might not be quite the correct word.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, you don't believe in Santa because everyone lifted that veil of a reality circa age 10.
You're just not old enough for the other one to be lifted yet. That comes later. One day all your preachers will let you in on the "big sham" and you'll see that the Bible is nothing but a trick implanted by the Operating Thetans you may be familiar with from Scientology (Who form part of the Spaghetti Monster Trinity).

The real truth is....!!! Santa was real all along. In fact, He's God! And you will recieve lumps of coal for all eternity in the cold cold poles as reward for your faltering faith. Egad!!!

Let me get up to speed on the bible.

Does the bible claim that at one time all of man spoke the same language?

Does it not also claim that this universal language was interrupted and others were immediately introduced by God at the Tower of Babylon?

Genesis 11: 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.

[/ QUOTE ]

Genesis 11: 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

(New Int'l Version)


BONUS MATERIAL! Here's the rest of Genesis 11.

10 This is the account of Shem.
Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father [d] of Arphaxad. 11 And after he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.

12 When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah. 13 And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters. [e]

14 When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber. 15 And after he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

16 When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg. 17 And after he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

18 When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu. 19 And after he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

20 When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug. 21 And after he became the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

22 When Serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nahor. 23 And after he became the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.

24 When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah. 25 And after he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.

27 This is the account of Terah.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milcah and Iscah. 30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.

(Nothing to be skeptical about here.)

1. Would such a fabrication be so demanding as the God of the Bible?


[/ QUOTE ]

This is an excellent point. The God of the Bible is absolutely the LAST God any sinner in his right mind would invent. The fact that people don't get this is proof of their bias and lack of knowledge of Christianity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the LAST God that a sinner would invent would be one that said that if you've ever sinned, then you will be tortured forever. But, the God of the Bible says that all you need to do is believe that Jesus died for your sins, and you can live in paradise. Sounds like an ideal God for a sinner.

We've been through this in other threads. Those are easily explainable when placed in the proper context.
