@ghost-of-a-duke saidPoint to some.
Again, the Gospel of Thomas depicts a quite malevolent Jesus in his infancy. It's inclusion in the Bible would have affected the way the other books would have been perceived. This is one of the reasons it wasn't included, to remove the contradiction.
That said, the Bible is riddled with contradictions, whether you accept that or not. (Simply riddled with them).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidReason and science should be based on tangible and verifiable facts, yet there are many things science is totally blind to that exist nonetheless. So suggesting there is no evidence for something alone doesn't mean much when there are plenty of things we can see and experience and have knowledge about that science cannot prove with tangible and verifiable facts.
Reason should be based on tangible and verifiable facts. Please provide those for life after death, or simply accept you have nothing more than faith. (AKA Pie in the sky).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidFrankly, I don't recall you proving any, you did state something you thought was but I didn't think they rise to that level.
What, again?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf he persuades you to lay out a few examples for him, he will not "recall" it in six months from now.
What, again?
