the 10 questions i sent him
Hi, Rod
how are you?
wish you`re fine.... i`m glad to receieve your response to my last e mail , i appreciate your request.
i see that we need not to proceed randomly in our discussion..
i see that we should concentrate each time on certain points till we fininshed them , then go to next other points.
i liked your suggestion about sending 10 questions a time and i`d like to remind you that you promise that you`ll answer them without escaping.
But, i`d like also to ask you to give specific answers for each question and not to use the way of preaching with me coz i think it`s useless
we are highly educated so our dialogue must be based on evidences and proofs, ok???
Rod,
i`ve more that 10 questions but i liked to send them 10 by 10 to give you a chance to fullfill the reply and we won`t go to another questions or topics unless we finished those points....to avoid distraction.
My 10 questions to you in this episode are the following:
1- who wrote Bible?
2- when it was written?
3- what marks its begining and what marks its end?
4- when Jesus was born?
5- when Jesus was cruicfied no one of his discple saw him, how did they describe something they never saw????
6- how can we explain contradictions and mistakes in Bible? and how can we explain addition to Bible by some writers? i qoute from a christian theologian
:""...portions of the book were probably added by scribes or editors from later periods of Israel's history... (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 183)"
this was about song of songs.
i qoute also :
Here is what the NIV Bible Theologians and Historians say about the books:
About the books of 1 and 2 Samuel: "Many questions have arisen pertaining to the literary character, authorship and date of 1,2 Samuel."
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368).
About the books of 1 and 2 Kings: "There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings."
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459).
7- In the Old Testament it’s told:
Isaiah 9:6 (For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.)
And Jesus said:
Mathew 10:34 (Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.)
Luke 22:36 (Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.)
This is not symbolic he means a real sword and here is the prove:
Luke 22:38 (And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.)
Luke 14:26 (If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.)
Is this a prince of peace?
Do you hate all those people mentioned up there? can you hate them? is this the way to the Kingdom of God
8- Jesus said:
Mark 7:27 (But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.)
The Children are sons of Israel and the dogs are the others like you and me, do you believe that this is a Godly justice or just a Jewish racism.
And do you know what should your answer be?
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Do you agree with your bible, are you a dog do you accept eating from under the crumbs under the table of the Jews????????
9- Do you believe that what is told in this verse is a divine moral? And would you like to be a harlot to go to the kingdom of God
Matthew 21:31 (Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you)
10- Would you please tell me when Jesus did mention the original sin?
But the fact is that Jesus neglected it, John 15:22 (If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin)
those are my 1st important 10 questions....i`m waiting your reply , then you`ll wait my reply on your reply and so on till we both agree to go to next points.
please not to distract our points we are discussing , coz this will make our dialogue of no value.
