Looks to me as if two versions of a Psalm (possibly popular in different regions) were added without being reconciled into one. Honestly - the composition of the bible wasn't a divine process, it was a human editing process.

No offence, but it's quite frightening how many times I've heard that on here. If you don't know where you're coming from, how can you know where you're going?

They probably fall over because that's what they're told to do when Benny hits them.

You will not see the entire of an Army comprised of thousands of men, horses, camels, chariots and so on just plain disappear because they sank into a swamp. You especially won't see a Pharoah left to rot in a shallow swamp without some attempt to find the body. Remember that they thought...

I want them to drain the sea of Reeds and find Pharoah's lost Army. Or the slave quarters where the Israelites were building things for the Egyptians. Actually, I'd settle for a single Jewish burial dating to that time in Egypt.

Uh, I'm not sure that's exactly how it goes down...

I'd take a guess at either Holy or Heavenly. Or Holey... Heheh.... Sorry...

I'm certain that Peter and a couple of his brothers were fishermen. If you're telling me that there were a couple of other educated ones, then fair enough, but certainly not ALL of them were literate. And please. History is not a good word for what you find in the bible. As Pen and Teller...

Galileo Galilei

Eskimo, he's not calling you a liar, he's saying that your story (whilst interesting) needs to be taken at face value without supporting evidence in order to be considered proof. I don't think anyone expects you to submit authentication of your story over the internet, it would be a gross...

I see the Anglican Catholic church. But not the Anglican church. Neither do I see the CofE that most people who don't really believe in God but don't want to cause a fuss put down on censuses. ;)

Actually a lot of the martyrs were martyred for coming into other countries and dissing their gods. The locals took exception to this (as do we all to this day) and promptly did in the martyrs. You have to wonder how many of them DID recant and are simply no longer remembered. And...

Only if you take their word for it that they were there. And it's not written by people who were there, it's written by people who supposedly studied with people who were there. The Apostles were mostly illiterate - how could they have written? Saul, of course, is the exception, having...

Subjective truth, you have to love it. I'll deal with mister Phantom's little joke first. Children abducted and murdered by sexual predators. Is their horrific fate down to their lack of faith or their parents? What about those who perish in civil wars they have no ability to affect? What...

I believe the word used was INTENTIONAL Goose. And from now on let's try and make sure there's content pertaining to the debate in our replies, shall we? I must agree somewhat with DV's statement about loss and reward. Take, for example Jesus. Nobody is going to argue that death by...

Hey DV, how about the Church of England?

Okay, THAT I'll give you as a miracle. Is there proof - like did a Doctor examine you and find a compound fracture and then a doctor examine you and find no trace of the injury. Did you walk out of there completely healed?

Ahh, the repetition makes right argument again? Saying it doesn't make it so - I suggest you dig out some law and some case precedence on this one. Besides, nobody's telling you that you can't do it. We're just telling you that it makes you look illiterate.

Again, I'm really glad that your joint condition cleared up. But, isn't that internal and capable of having occurred due to natural healing?

Man is animal. Where does our difference come? We can kill any other animal on earth. That's why we have a civilisation that's stood the test of time.
