| Quote (didymos @ April 10 2011,15:05) | Clivebaby "explains" the contradictions in the Gospels:
| Quote | | The books do not contradict themselves, and besides, you’d have to have faith in them–that they were actually written for starters, and that they were about something in particular, and whether there was any actual events that they either do or do not conform to, to even say that there are contradictions that would have any meaning. All of this is taken on faith, as with any historical book. You have faith in lots of aspects even to claim any meaningful idea, even contradictions, to the texts of scripture. |
So basically, after excising all the irrelevant, largely nonsensical verbiage (i.e. nearly all of it), said explanation amounts to.... "Nuh-uh!" |
I love that last sentence of Clive's. Can't he get through a one-paragraph post without melting down into gibberish?
It seems he's trying to say that it's impossible to determine the accuracy of any historical text, unless you accept by "faith" that it is accurate. Or something like that.
