Jesus referred to the OT often as an ultimate source of truth. You preach a different Jesus...a false idol.The original gospel of Jesus didn't rely on the Old Testament as a foundation for its authority.

He wondered why creationists don't publish in secular journals.
Hitler and the Nazi's were evolutionists.
Sure.... there are many fake artifacts, I agree.
The Bible …
How do you determine any historical book or manuscript is true? Is it internally consistent? Is it supported by external sources? Is there archaeology that supports it?.
Misapplied faith is an opioid to critical thinking. The original gospel of Jesus didn't rely on the Old Testament as a foundation for its authority. The Jewish converts to their new religion about Jesus attempted to substantiate their new faith by relying on their old theology from Judaism. So for 2000 years we were stuck with a real mess that has retarded science and the quest for truth. Sadly, Bibliolatry is retarding the spread of the original gospel.
100 percent of the threads that involve even an obscure, implied criticism of Darwinism attract nonsense as a first response to the "challenge."
Darwinists use arguments from authority, arguments from popularity, straw men, tu quoque... anything other than a rational response to ideas that they perceive as a threat to their precious religion.
Only in your mind did Jesus refer to the OT as the "ultimate source" of truth because of your obvious bias. And frankly, the OT was used to discredit Jesus by the people who wrote the books which were mainly about themselves.
Jesus was his own authority, the Jews were ultimately false prophets, their ideas about a "Jewish Messiah" were discredited, their house left desolate, the light went west. You are still living in the past and haven't figured that out yet.
The question isn’t whether a historical document is true, since there are probably a lot of such documents I would feel comfortable saying are true. But you explicitly said “absolutely true”. That is much more restrictive than what we generically might say we mean by “true”. “Absolutely true” leaves no margin for the recording historian – it is either completely accurate, or it fails being “absolutely true”. Now what source will you refer me to that I might determine (as you seem to think you have) that "God's Word" is free of error – “absolutely true”?
What would prevent you from declaring anything as absolute truth? If something is true, it will be true and inerrant yesterday, today and tomorrow.The question isn’t whether a historical document is true, since there are probably a lot of such documents I would feel comfortable saying are true.

I depend on my own judgement, which I have found to be less than perfect, and I rely on the judgement of others who I feel are better qualified than I to judge in some matters (but are still just humans).What would prevent you from declaring anything as absolute truth? If something is true, it will be true and inerrant yesterday, today and tomorrow.
I am trying to find out (vainly, so far) who or what you are relying on for information about the accuracy of the Bible that you think admits no possibility of error – “absolutely true”. You seem reluctant to give what should be a very simple direct answer.
I fail to see what is irrational about trying to find out how 6days has come to the conclusion that the Bible is “absolutely truth”. Do or do not you agree with his statement that “God’s Word is absolute truth”? If those words he chose are just hyperbole, then fine, say so. If what he said is correct, show me how you come to that conclusion.… the irrational challenge of questioning the source of a claim as if it affected its veracity.
Dear Caino,
Keep wishing that. It's not going to get you where you really want to go. Ask Jesus to come into your heart instead. That is my BEST advice for you. I do care about you and I'm not just trying to argue with you. You are an important human being able to love and be loved. Why will you let some basically obscure beliefs stand in your way as a stumbling block to what many more others believe instead. The Bible gives us what to go on in the New Testament and the Old. Wait for God to send Jesus. How simple can that be? Plus Jesus gives us an example on how we should live. Why do you dis Him?? Quit it. Get with what is really happening here. If Jesus' angel said that we would see Him coming with the clouds of Heaven, why shouldn't we believe?? Quit fighting what the devil is trying to get you to believe. He is craftier than you realize. Will you follow after the beliefs of less than a million people or more than 2 million people instead? I'm not good with the numbers here necessarily, but I've got my ideas and it could always be investigated. If I find time, I will do it. No one realizes how busy I am.
May God Clear Your Head,
Michael
Funny, given that you can't offer a single quote from Hitler saying "We're doing this because of evolution", but we can find all sorts of quotes from him saying "We're doing this because we're Christians and it's the Lord's work".
So what do you think that says about Christianity and Christians?
Regardless of how he responds, it will not advance the discussion.I fail to see what is irrational about trying to find out how 6days has come to the conclusion that the Bible is “absolutely truth”.

I hadn’t realized it was your job to dictate where discussions were supposed to go. Is it because you don’t like the direction my question is leading that you feel the need to jump in and front for 6days?Regardless of how he responds, it will not advance the discussion.
