OK Bill, explain to us.
Why do you think God would NOT provide his creation with questionable
instructions?
In what way is the birth of Christ irrational?
What evidence do you have that Christ was incapable of putting his
teachings in a permanent form?
Why do you suppose the length of his ministry to be an issue?
Why do you suppose the size of his audiences to be an issue?
What has Adam's rib got to do with your argument?
How many do***ents other than Biblical books exist from that period
that are NOT copies of copies?
Where in the Bible does it say Jesus was a carpenter?
If Jesus was a carpenter, why is this an issue?
Do you understand why the age of 30 is significant?
