The Jesus Dynasty

I would also add that Mr Tabor appears to making the same mistake as many others before him...picking and choosing which parts of the Bible he wants to agree with or dismiss in some fashion. To any rational thinker that should be a HUGE huge huge...red flag.

i think he is questioning the validity for possibly higher enlightenment... if things were so accurate in the bible where is everything it speaks of, why is faith always the answer, i personally dont think its far off to think that be bible too has been LOST IN TRANSLATION. there is not accurate account of even when it was written, and from what i read not only does he hold a PHD in theology, but he is one of the top experts on ancient text such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, i think things sometimes are hard for people to grasp if they don't hold such knowledge/insight.

"Higher enlightenment"?? That would would make me burst out laughing if it werent so sadly ridiclulous. Mr Tabor has enlightenment or insights the Creator of Universe doesnt have??? Right.

In order to fully appreciate the Bible truths one first would require a personal knowlege of the God who authored them.
The validity of Scripture isnt an issue for many because they have experienced its TRUTH and POWER. They have also seen its prophecys come true exactly to the letter. For those that havent experienced this all is probably confusing especially when learned men such as Mr Tabor add their conjectures further clouding the fog these poor souls are left in without a knowlege of God.

"If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" John 8:31,32

How true...not only free from the penalty of sin BUT free from confusion and false 'enlightenment'

whatever dude you have to be one of the smartest/dumbest people on here, you talk like your an expert on everything... a christian man searching for more answers outside of the bible must be the work of the devil b/c who would of thought there are ancient text older than the bible.

hey open up your bible you have so much faith in and tell me the copyright date.... ok. :jerkit:

oh and please explain your "prophecys come true exactly to the letter" that can be proven more than your book or your warped idea of what is true.

there's a site that lists them all, but I don't remember where. Too much to list off the top of my head. I'll see if I can find it.

Like I always say...study for yourself. You can start with Daniel 2. There are many others. Both the prophecy and answers are given. Of course you
will need to know a bit of history.
Also, why mock the knowlege (or lack of it)of others when you yourself are the one asking many questions you obviously dont know the answer to?
