Yeah, as dead as Spanish. I mean, who'd need Spanish when we
have Mandarin Chinese?

This came across my Facebook feed today from a Christian group:
 
https://answersingenesis.org/is-the-bible-true/3-evidences-confirm-bible-not-made-up/
 
It contains this sub-link:
 
https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/incarnation/jesus-did-not-exist/
 
-----[ Begin ]-----
Josephus (AD 37–c.100, Jewish military leader and historian): Wrote about Jesus on two occasions. The authenticity of one occurrence, known as the Testimonium Flavianum, is hotly disputed, but his account of the execution of James is generally accepted, and he mentioned James, "the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ."
 
Tacitus (AD 56–120, great Roman historian): Reported that after rumors spread about Nero burning Rome, Nero needed scapegoats for the crime and chose "Christians, [who were] hated for their abominable crimes. Their name comes from Christ, who, during the reign of Tiberius, had been executed by the procurator Pontius Pilate."
 
Pliny the Younger (AD 61–c.112, Roman senator): Wrote to Emperor Trajan about his experience with Christians.

Well, that's clearly wishful thinking:

The real question is why someone posting from a.o.d. must inform "Mr
Flibble" that C is more widely used than C++.

Yet, Genesis says that for everything God created, "God saw that it
was good", including man. So, how did he, an omniscient being, manage
to muck us up with sin, without him being aware of this in advance? He
must've known that our state of sin would result. If he knew of
this result in advance, since he is omniscient, how is this any
different from him actually planning for it to happen to all of us?
Clearly, he intended for it to happen. So, why should we be guilty of
his planned corruption of us via sin? It's clear that this act of
original sin was entirely a set up. In which case, we're not guilty of
it.

There is only one God? If you actually believe that, then Ra must be
the one true God for you, as Ra predates the God of all the Abrahamic
religions, e.g., Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and many other lesser
religions, by over 13 centuries. Ra came first and long before God of
the Bible. As such, a rational man can only conclude that the God of
the Abrahamic religions is an impostor, e.g., Satan or Lucifer or Jesus
Christ, intent on deceiving humanity via the Bible.

Really? If that was true, he wouldn't have put talking animals into the
Bible. It goes towards his credibility.

Apparently, he was the one who mucked us all up with original sin, as we
didn't have sin when he created us, and he knew exactly what was going
to happen to us in advance. He didn't prevent it. He chose not
to. I.e., he chose not to save us. In legal circles, this is called
"entrapment". So, why must we ask him for forgiveness to fix his
willful intent? ... We're the disease and he's the cure? He infected
us (with sin).

It is evident when you read the Bible, learn who God is, and see
who man is. It's also personally evident for me when I see the
Rick before asking forgiveness for my sin and being born again,
and the Rick after. I am a new man from the inside out, and it's
not by anything I've done. I'm actually amazed by the change.

He did plan for it to happen to us. He made a way out of it before
He created the world:
 

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A8&version=KJV
 
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in the book of life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
 
Before the world was created, God had a plan for us for salvation.
It was to take us through school, to establish a baseline for our
creation, to teach us a lesson we could learn no other way.

He gives each of us our volition. We tell Him what it is we want
by our choices, by our desires, by that which we personally seek
after.
 
God has created Hell and given us the Lamb of God (Jesus) to take
away our sin. He's made both paths free, meaning we simply choose
which one we desire by what it is we pursue in our lives.
 
Nobody can actually come to Jesus and ask forgiveness for their
sin unless God draws us, but He searches continually our hearts
and minds and knows fully our real intent on all things. And for
all who will seek the truth, He makes that change within them so
they will come to faith.
 
 
>> They are not similar. There is only one God, though there are
>> many gods:
 
> There is only one God?
 
One God with a capital-G. I said there are many gods with lower-
case g ... including us, for the Bible teaches that we are God's
children, and that we are literal gods.
 
> the Bible. As such, a rational man can only conclude that the God of

No. The Bible teaches of God Almighty who exists outside of time
and created all things. The god Ra is a real god. He is a demon
that is seeking worship from others of God's creation. He is as
condemned as Satan, if he is not in fact Satan himself.

> talking snake Genesis 3:1
 
The serpent is recorded in Genesis as being the creature that
spoke to Eve. It is recorded that as punishment for what that
serpent did, he was resigned to crawl on his belly and eat dust
all the days of his life. He did not become the snake we see
today with no arms or legs until sin, and it is a permanent
fixture in our creation to remind us.
 
> talking donkey Numbers 22:28
 
I accept that on faith. If you read the passage surrounding
that, and why God did it, then you see it was God reaching out
to save a man from his own folly. God used the resources at
hand to rebuke someone and knock some sense into them.

There are no issues with the Bible. Even God commanding Israel
to slay all men, women, children, and animals, in the Old
Testament, where it seems superficially to be heinous, you have
to remember that all people die, and what God commanded Israel
to do was diminish their negative, anti-God influence upon the
world, so that their false teaching would not exist in the many
generations to come, even out to thousands of years later.
 
Israel did not obey God, and we see the result in this world
today.
 
There are no issues with the Bible. Some of its teachings take
a rather substantial amount of knowledge to understand properly,
and some things like a talking donkey we must accept on faith,
but none of it is contradictory or conflicting, neither is it
just a fairy tale.

He gave the world Jesus Christ before He created the world. His
plan from day one was to save all who would be saved, but to also
condemn all who would be condemned.
 
Each of us tells God by our lives what choice we make. We are
living testimonies of our full heart's intent.

God will save all who will seek the truth, Rod. Every man and
woman across the Earth. The only people who will go to Hell are
those who send themselves there by their own choices, and their
own ongoing rebellion against the truth (against God, for He is
literal truth).

To expand upon this, look at the entirety of creation. Everything
is built up from things below. We have foundational sub-atomic
particles, which build up to components of atoms, which build up
to atoms, which build up to molecules, which build up to structures,
which build up to assemblies / machines, which build up to factories
of all kinds (biological, mechanical, industrial), which build up
to provide grander constructs.
 
Our bodies have assemblies. DNA produces proteins which produce
structures which assemble into components which build inner cell
components, which build cells, which build organs, which provide
unique function, which come together to support the body, which
in turn supports our mind and ultimately by God's design also is
driven by spirit.
 
The goal was the person inhabiting the body, not the body, yet
everything of marvelous design and assembly was put together to
produce that final form which we are able to inhabit and enjoy.
 
We look at the universe. We see things on our planet comprising
that which is here. Our planet is one of several around a sun.
Our sun is one of many around the galaxy. Our galaxy is one of
many around clusters. Our cluster is one of many in this immense
universe. And the Bible teaches us there is an existence beyond
what we can physically see here in matter, into the realm of the
spiritual world, which the Bible records is not inhabited by the
same decay we see here in the material world.
 
Even the New Jerusalem that is coming down is a 1500 mile cube!
Why a cube? It has occurred to me that a cube is like a block
or brick, a component of a larger structure. Perhaps there is
a plan for mankind to continue our education beyond this first
existence on the Earth.
 
We are not taught in scripture what is coming for us after we
leave this Earth, but we do know some interesting things. God
gave man the covenant of circumcision, where the excess flesh
is removed on the 8th day. It is to be an everlasting covenant
between that male child and God in the faith.
 
We see a similar plan in God's plan of a 7-day creation, and
then the 8th day begins, which is the eternal or everlasting
day. And, it is after the 7th day is complete that the final
judgment occurs, and the "excess flesh' is removed. All who
are judged are cast into the lake of fire, and all who are
saved are given new bodies and they begin the rest of their
eternal existence.
 
What is coming on that 8th day? We see here on Earth that a
child is given circumcision on the 8th day, but that child then
goes on to grow up and learn the traditions of his family, to
learn whatever trades and skills are of interest to him. He's
able to demonstrate his unique prowess in this world, such as
to create art or poetry or music or whatever...
 
So if we translate this Earthly pattern to something that
would be in Heavenly terms, we would see our creation here is
an initial sifting, a proving ground, a place where those who
are Hell-bent on destruction are removed. From there, all who
continue on go through additional learning about God's vast
universe where they make their mark as their unique creation
allows them, and in the manner of their interests and form and
function and in working with others, etc., and without limits
as to available tools or resources, but with the fullest of
possible expressions given in Heaven where even the streets
are paved with gold, and there are no limits to what one can
possess and use (remember Moses and the burning bush, fire
without consumption of the fuel, and Jesus who was able to
replicate a few fish and loaves out to thousands ... this
design is also something we in computers can understand as we
can create a file, possess it, use it, and share it with
literally everybody on the Earth, and the sharing does not
diminish our copy, but simply spawns a new one).
 
God has given us all of these examples in scripture, such that
He has revealed in parts and piecemeal across the totality of
the Bible portions of what may well be His plan for us, even
beyond this Earth. But, He never comes right out and says
categorically, "After the 7th day, then thou shalt do ..."
and so on.
 
-----
The Bible is a most comprehensive document. I do not claim
to understand all of it, but I have studied it at length, and
gone to Sunday School and listened to sermons instead of
watching new episodes of the latest reality TV show. As a
result, I am constantly learning with regards to its teachings,
and there is an internal confirmation which I get when I hear
things which are significant.
 
I am also convinced that the baptism we go through in Jesus'
command in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18+ is not just
a water baptism, but it is to be an immersion in our lives in
the teachings of God, because it is framed before and after
by the command to teach and make disciples.
 
We must hold all things before God, such that we are then re-
examining all aspects of our lives in light of His guidance.
It helps us trim away that which harms us, and enhance that
which aids us, much the way a botanist would do to their
plants, to maximize the fullness of it all.
 
It's all there, Rod. It is evident and complete and really
astounding beyond words. The Bible is not just a book of
stories. It is a real teaching of God, of man, of sin, of
salvation, and it provides hints at things which we can see
here on Earth, which may translate into Heaven, as there
are known correlations, such as we have horses here, and
there are horses in Heaven, we have streets here, and there
are streets in Heaven, etc.
 
Seek the truth in your considering, Rod. It's all God asks.
Seek the whole truth, and He will do the rest in your life.

Everything you say is predicated on your belief that the Bible is true.
 
Well consider this:
 
Assumption #1: Genesis creation story is a myth/allegory and Adam and
Eve are a fiction.
Assumption #2: Jesus Christ (either biblical or historical) existed.
 
The Bible (Old and New Testaments) describe the genealogy of Jesus
Christ all the way from Joseph and Mary back to Adam and Eve. Given our
two assumptions at what point does this 50-generation genealogy
transition from fact to fiction and what is the proof of this transition?
 
IMO the entire genealogy is suspect and assumption #2 is bogus. There
is no evidence contemporary to Christ's existence of his existence: it
all came out in the latter part of the first century in writings from
the likes of Josephus and Tacitus a significant time after Jesus's
supposed death. The Gospels themselves are complete hearsay which
wouldn't hold water as evidence in a court of law.
 
If you now claim that assumption #1 is false despite all the evidence to
the contrary (e.g. weathering of the Grand Canyon, fossils confirming
evolution and evolutionary time scales) then you really are beyond help
as nothing can be done to mitigate such obtuse stupidity.

The ISO standard does not discuss it. You yourself have said it's
