@Mrpersonman0 What delusion? This wasn't from him but God. Delusions don't have continuity that spans across dozens of authors and thousands of years.
The Bible is a library of sixty-six different books, long and short, written in different languages (Hebrew, Caldean and Greek), written in various countries (Judea, Babylon, 66 Books of the BibleAsia Minor, Greece and Italy), written in various times during a period stretching over about fifteen hundred years and with an intermission of about 400 years, written by about forty different authors, people with Egyptian culture, people with Jewish culture, people with Greek and Roman culture, people with no culture.
Written by all sorts and conditions of men (priests, prophets, princes, peasants, warriors, statesmen, herdsmen, poets, publicans, physicians, fishermen, historians, lawyers, chroniclers, philosophers, orators, autocrats, exiles, rich, poor, evangelists, apostles), written to Jew and to Gentile, written to Greek and barbarian, to bond and to free, to men and to women, to young and to old, to individuals, congregations, the whole world. Written in the rush of the city and in the hush of the country; written in palace and in prison, written in prosperity and in adversity, written in the height of national glory on Mount Zion and in the depth of national shame beside quiet waters. These books contain prose, poetry, prophecy, history, type, antitype, sign, symbol, miracle, parable, biography, philosophy, description, travel, exploration, legislation, invitation, exhortation, denunciation, argumentation, commendation, indignation, prayers, blessings, curses, oration, consolation, fierce invective, impassioned appeal, and coolest and calmest logic, letters, hymns, pastorals, romance, tragedy and jubilee, sobbing sighs and shouts of joy, sermons, lyrics, proverbs, epigrams and axioms.
Thinking on these facts, we must needs expect chaos as the outcome. It cannot be but that parts of this variegated library contradict other parts. But do we find it so? By no means! On the contrary and wonderful to relate, we find a marvelous unity of design and harmony in statements.
Have you ever realized the Bible had so much unity? Fifteen hundred years, forty different authors, three different languages, five or six different countries. And yet with all of these variations, there’s still just one theme and it all harmonizes together. If you were a god and you’d created some people, and you wanted to communicate to them through a written word, wouldn’t you make sure that your Bible had characteristics like that? And someone might say, well, there’s really nothing all that hard about that, I mean, other books have been written like that. Well let’s see if that is really true.
Why don’t we go down to some seminary, some theological seminary, but instead of getting people with different languages and from different countries and different backgrounds and over hundreds of years, why don’t we just get forty students who are all going there at the same time from the same country who have the same teachers and just ask them to do us a favor? Without conferring with each other, why don’t we ask them to write about a fifty page paper each, on the subject of God (His existence, His nature, His purposes), and man (where he came from, what he’s here for, where he’s going), and things about spiritual ideas. And then let’s collect all 2000 pages which would be about the length of a Bible, I suppose, and put them all together and see if they have the same kind of harmony that the Bible does.
You say, well they might. Well, I’ll tell you what, why don’t you just go down to the library and find any 40 books off the shelf in the religious section and see if they all are in harmony with each other. You see it hasn’t been done. The Bible is totally unique.

@joecoolioness6399 There is extensive scientific evidence which spans the sciences. There wasn't any hand picking of stories either, the biblical text was organically compiled and it's claims of divine inspiration has extensive evidence. Such as the continuity, 100% accuracy of prophecy and so on. God is not one dimensional he is not always loving. To be a good God requires he also must be just.
Hebrews 11:1 Paul wrote the Greek "hupostasis." It means an internal unseen tangible substance of assurance, of the person of Jesus he gives as an "elegchos" which basically means like a clinical evidence like given in a court of law. As I already brought up it is the most important evidence one can have to give ones life to Jesus. Ultimately nothing else is or can be sufficient. Like I said Jesus, God could appear infront of you right now and do miracles and that wouldn't be enough for you or anyone to give their lives truly to him. It wasn't enough for the disciples.
One can talk about intellectual, scientific, historical evidences extensively and one can understand and even accept the implications. They aren't enough. Being a Christian is coming as you are to Jesus and letting him do everything. He makes himself real to you, he changes you, he does everything. The bible says Jesus even has to put the desire to love him in you. Remember we are talking about God, mere humans, specks of dust don't even have the capacity for all these things. That is why they all must be supplied by Jesus, God. One just has to seek him and ask him to prove himself.

@Nisikaa_ Your example is nonsensical. You just called having any standard cherry picking. So have a standard to be able to identify continuity and it's cherry picking, have no standard and nothing would exist.
The continuity itself shows it's divine inspiration. The Bible is a library of sixty-six different books, long and short, written in different languages (Hebrew, Caldean and Greek), written in various countries (Judea, Babylon, 66 Books of the BibleAsia Minor, Greece and Italy), written in various times during a period stretching over about fifteen hundred years and with an intermission of about 400 years, written by about forty different authors, people with Egyptian culture, people with Jewish culture, people with Greek and Roman culture, people with no culture.

@VicMikesvideodiary
Why evolution isn't true...
1. Offspring are new combinations of pre-existing genetic information. Therefore, there is no new genetic information coming into existence and therefore there is no evolution occurring.
2. Millions or billions of nucleotide bases working together in an intelligent manner in order to create an animal can only come from the mind of a genius.
Why don't we see evolution happening today?
That's because it is too slow.
Why don't we see evolution in the fossil record?
That's because it is too fast. lmao
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
FICTION: lightning bolts can strike a pool of prebiotic minutiae and manifest a quaternary 4 billion unit self-correcting self-replicating bioinformatic system complete with ribosomes, vesicles, enzymes, proteins, ATP.
You probably thought some scientist somewhere has a coherent theory about how biology began! 😂 too much funny
This attitude is not very different from that of the Nobel Prize winning physiologist George Wald, who wrote candidly in 1954: “When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility. … Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved 100 years ago by Louis Pasteur, Spelazani, Reddy and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion — that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God. … I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”
Atheism is for the scientifically illiterate.

@Nisikaa_ Try again. Nebuchadnezzar did destroy the coastal cities. However, the people of the port of Tyre had obviously relocated to the island city, which they were able to successfully defend against the Babylonian invaders. Nebuchadnezzar had defeated and plundered the cities on the shore, as Ezekiel prophesied in 26:7–11, but he could not defeat the island city. This fact is reported in Ezekiel 29:18.
Further, verse 12 marks a shift from the prophecy concerning Nebuchadnezzar to prophetic declarations about other invaders. Verse 3 had already introduced the idea of many invaders in the statement, “I ... will cause many nations to come up against you.” As history records, many nations did come up against the island city of Tyre, but it was Alexander the Great, laying siege against the island city of Tyre in about 332 b.c., who finally conquered the city and left it in total ruins so that it was never rebuilt. When rightly understood, Ezekiel’s prophecy perfectly fits the historical record.

@firebyrd437 No there is not 700 inconsistencies in the bible. You are getting that from an atheist website that disingenuously makes up these inconsistencies. Or have the reading comprehension of a toddler. Clearly you have never bothered to search any of this inconsistencies being addressed.
Case in point your 144 000 nonsense.
Some take the “144,000 of all the tribes of Israel” to be a spiritual reference to Christians. However, this view is not supported by the facts. First, the word “tribes” is never used of anything but a literal ethnic group in Scripture.
Furthermore, if the number is taken seriously, surely it grossly under represents the number of believers there will be in heaven. True, the Bible nowhere reveals the exact number of believers there will be in heaven, but since there are billions of humans alive, and since there are easily multiplied millions of these who are saved, this is obviously not a reference to the total number of redeemed of all time.
In addition, even the physical dimensions of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:16–17), to say nothing of the rest of God’s vast universe, could contain a much larger number than 144,000 people.
Revelation 7:9 declares that there were, in addition to the 144,000, “a great multitude ... of all nations” who were also redeemed, which not only indicates that the saved are not limited to them but that the passage makes more sense if taken literally.
