Carbon dating? That schmidt has been proven flawed many times, over decades.
The Apocrypha is not accepted as canon BC of the Council of Nicea, so "sealed" by whom? Constantine?
My uncle was a preacher & he used to give me these kind of circular logic answers, always ending with, You just have to have Faith, sometimes interchangeable with Believe.
I'm not criticizing your faith or starting an argument, but there are So Many cliches that people in the church use, & they use them without any thought whatsoever - in the exact same way lefties always employ theirs. Again, not condemning you, personally, I don't know you, but I've heard them all.
Example: it was just so filled with the Spirit, God came Down & He was there in that church with us!
Me, nonplussed: so where was He all the Other times you were there, then? Was He not there, until This time?
Confused look, startled, confused look - Panic: oh, no, no, that's not, um..
Me, finally: I know what you meant, but you all say the Same things, the same Way, you don't even listen to what you're saying, it's all just catchphrases, by rote, at this point.
I didn't paint you with that brush. I was courteous & civil to you. You seem in a hurry to be offended so you can whine & rail, but that's a You problem; it has nothing to do with me.
You want to repay civility with attacks, go for it.
I'm a fucking Marine, you don't scare me.
DON'T think you're going to f-cking talk down at me & reprimand me like I'm one of your children.
Do we know they were written before? If so, how?
