(59) More Comments/ Replies of Mine, from Under an Atheist Video
So you understand absolutely nothing of scriptural-spiritual truth or history of the Bible whatsoever; but publicly talk-on like you do, slandering and blaspheming the Creator and His purposely-provided written words for mankind - just like the so-called "scientist" in the video, with his agendas. What's your agenda? Did the video embolden you? Wherever did you get your "information" from? Yet another shoddy "We hate God and the Bible because we can't stand His moral laws" website? THE CANON OF THE BIBLE WAS CLOSED - FINISHED BEING WRITTEN, ENTIRELY - around 98 C.E. The inspired writing - the penning down of information from Jah that He wanted included in the Holy Scriptures - ENDED with the death of the last Apostle, about that time. The Canon of the Hebrew Scriptures was finished just after 443 B.C.E. Moses began writing down God's words, including in Divinely-inspired retrospect, beginning with the book of Genesis, in the year 1513 B.C.E. These scriptural writings, Authored by God, and written down by faithful men He chose as His "secretaries", were accepted, by faithful people, as being the word of God, as they were received. So the dating of the Bible began in 1513 B.C.E. , and covered time even earlier than that, from "the beginning". ALL OF THIS LONG, LONG PRE-DATES a claim of "5-6 Century" blah blah. Scribes and copyists of the Holy word of God have traditionally been HIGHLY METICULOUS with copying its contents, out of respect of it being the word of God. CROSS-CHECKING/ working COMPARISONS, FOR ACCURACY, from pools of some 9000 manuscripts and fragments thereof for the Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures and 12,000 or so for the Christian-Greek Scriptures, from a wide span of time, and from sources in various parts of the world has yielded LITERAL TRANSLATIONS FOR ALL OF MANKIND THAT HAVE VERY FEW DIFFERENCES AMONG THEM; and THAT CONVEY THE ESSENTIAL, ORIGINALLY INTENDED WORDS and TEACHINGS FROM THE CREATOR WITH THE DEGREE OF ACCURACY NEEDED, TO CARRY OUT HIS PURPOSES OF PRESERVING and DISTRIBUTING HIS OWN LIFE-VITAL WORDS and SURVIVAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL OF MANKIND.........."For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart." (Hebrews 4:12)............."the saying of Jehovah endures forever." (1Peter1:25)..............."This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John 17:3) ..........."Sanctify them by means of the truth. Your word is truth." (Spoken in prayer by Jesus Christ, to His Heavenly Father Jehovah.) A number of scriptural events TOOK PLACE in an area that could be roughly referred to as Persia (or in the vicinity thereof) however. Naturally, the folk of those areas would have included life-effecting Divine events in some of their lore, historical writings, etc. - including sensationalized stories/fables of them; as with the various versions (with their varying points of accuracy) of the account of the Great Flood, found in every major culture. An account of the Great Flood would have been passed-down in oral and/or written form through ancient "Persia" too. MOREOVER, BOTH THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES and the GREEK SCRIPTURES were designed by God to be ONE UNIT - to comprise ONE INTRA-HARMONIOUS BOOK of the Holy Scriptures. the Bible - THE WORD OF GOD. Therefore, REFERENCES TO THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES, including REFERENCE to scriptural events and places in the vicinity of "Persia" (and metaphors based on them) can be found in the Christian Greek Scriptures, yes - such as the metaphoric references in Revelation to ancient BABYLON (an epicenter of FALSE religions), "BABYLON THE GREAT" (referring to Satan's now global empire of all anti-scriptural, FALSE-to-God religions). [Revelation chapters 17 and 18] Start studying.

And who is this "A.H. Roberts"? I don't know him. He has less than any credential to me. When I woke up this morning, it wasn't him I praised and thanked for the gift of life on a new day. It wasn't him I prayed to throughout this day. As I live, breathe, interact with and enjoy everything that exists - every good gift of the creation - even that I can see and my fingers can type; I have less than any inclination to thank some demonism-teaching guy named "A.H. Roberts" for ANY of this goodness; whereas I have constant motivation to give THANKS to my Living and Loving Heavenly Creator God, Father, and Friend Jehovah. This "A.H. Roberts" , like any Satanist or Satan - OFFERS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF ANY SPIRITUAL WORTH, or ANY LASTING WORTH AT ALL, TO ANYONE. Further, whoever he is, he will have to answer to God, for his Satanic lie teachings and blasphemies against Him, and also for any and all harm caused to anyone, for believing in his LIES. The same could hold true for anyone publicly perpetuating those evil, blasphemous, and spiritually-misleading. life-harmful/fatal LIES.

True! However, neither Dawkins nor any others have any “firm foothold” or any excuse, by conscience, to continue with and publicly promote stubborn, sin and evil “permissive” atheism. Yet prophecy is being very strongly fulfilled in this current trend, with it’s motivations having been exactly prophesied also - Romans 1:18-32; Jude 7,10,14,15.. Armageddon from Jah is near.
