Rhoblogy: The Bible Is the Word of God Debate
I am supposed to write the conclusion of the debate in 3000 words. The conclusion I draw from the debate is that Bible is not the word of God and it isn't even reliable as a historical document. Enough reasons have given to support the conclusion.The reasons which "Rhoblogy" had given us in his opening statement have been dealt with comprehensively. An Argument from God's Self-Affirming Authority isn't enough to satisfy a seeker of truth. An Argument from Fulfilled Prophecy makes Nostadamus' book the best book to be called the word of God. An Argument from Jesus is not valid because we don't have his arguments nor do we know what he exactly said. The External Critique from Islam shows us that the earliest followers of Islam (i.e Muhammad (saw) and his companions) never considered Bible to be the word of God. This is how I sum up Rhoblogy's opening statement.
The question of the Donkey remains unanswered. "What has the poor donkey done?" The only answer we have from "Rhoblogy" is that we can't produce God in court, in other words there are no justifications for such actions. We are yet to know how exactly the Bible writers "tickled" to write what they wrote. We have also seen that it does not help us to say that the Bible is the inerrant word of God because we don't have the words that God inerrantly inspired. What we have are the words copied by the scribes—sometimes correctly but sometimes (many times!) incorrectly. It doesn't help us to say that the autographs (i.e., the originals) were inspired. We don't have the originals! We have only error ridden copies, and the vast majority of these are centuries removed from the originals and different from them, evidently, in thousands of ways.
To be frank enough I have nothing to say now as I feel the debate speaks by itself. No more comments need to be made. But I have 3000 words which I would like to utilize.
In his first rebuttal, "Rhoblogy" discussed Bart Erhman a lot, as if he was debating Erhman not me. I didn't make any comments on it because it was off the topic but now I would like make a few comments on it. I had quoted Erhman from his book "Misquoting Jesus":
