How Much of the Bible Must Be Historical to Believe?

Sinners can not judge sinners, & we are all sinners

Well, not exactly... you aren't in the position to judge someone if you are guilty of the same crime. Thieves can't judge thieves and murderers can't judge murders since they are at the same level. That's why the judicial system relies on citizens with a good record to be on jury duty.

I don't see how dinosaur bones aren't backed by "hard math" or evidence other than your inference that because people make money in that field then it must be fake.

The bones don't exist. Fossils aren't bones. Their age can't be determined. It's all B.S. Most people think the skeletons they see in the museum are real bones.

What about the bones retrieved from the "LaBrea"(sp?) tar pits in LA?
I thought the tar actually preserved them pretty well by stoping the air as well as minerals from contact.
Also not all bones found have completely mineralized(fossilized) and some DNA has been retrieved.

If i was trying to fit in i would be just like you because that is how most americans and armenians think. The fact that i question the status quo means i am not trying to fit in. No religion stands up to reason and reason is all i can justify believing in.

Haykakan instead of knocking the Christians down & trying to "fit in", why don't you listen . Judgement day is when every human being will be judged by GOD. Not to judge is no human can judge another human because no one is perfect

People that don't live for the world are the one's who live for Christ & once again Christianity is not a religion.
Haykakan, do you know the definition of religion?

It are rules that are made by man, therefore Christianity is not a religion

Re: How Much of the Bible Must Be Historical to Believe?

definition of religion http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion - it even mentions chrystianity as an example. Chrystianity like all other religions is made by man. Perhaps you follow your own brand but that is still made by man either way you look at it.

Until you don't read the Bible & fully understand you won't understand.

In all the debates I've seen between atheists and men of the cloth, I have never, ever heard anyone argue that Christianity is not a religion, so pretty much any religious person would disagree with you there. You and other bible enthusiasts say so many inconsistent things yet you claim to know some truth that the rest of us don't know about. And whenever someone challenges your ideas with a reasoned argument you tell them they don't understand and you do, even though you don't feel the need to actually explain any of your ideas. Wow, what could be more brilliant than that?

Until you don't read the Bible & fully understand you won't understand.

Most of the prison population is highly religious. The suicide bombing community is pretty much all religious. The genital mutilation community is exclusively religious.

Most people in advanced learning are atheists or simply deists. So we're supposed to believe that murderers and rapists in jail know the truth about the nature of existence while astrophysicists and astronomers are just dead wrong. This is why religion is anti-intellectual at its core - It claims to have the truth of the universe already.

Astrophysics and astronomy are not real sciences since they are not called math I guess all the religious people are math wizzes and we will never be able to understand them and their math based religionFor those who speak of judgment day you should know that everyday you live you are judged by those around you and not by some invisible ghost who loves you but is just itching to watch you burn in hell for all of eternity.
