Do you have selective hearing or alzheimers?
We already covered the fact that using the bible to prove the bible is illogical just like using Harry Potter books to prove voldermort is real.
You require independent sources to verify its validity that isn't a bunch of personal anecdotes and feelings. You need hard proof.
If you don't have proof you are in a cult and using an echo chamber to reinforce your belief.
Let me give you an example just so you don't stare at me like a confused dog.
Lets say I was trying to prove aliens existed to you and you asked me to provide proof. I wouldn't just give you some book that tells the aliens are real from 2000 years ago or prehistoric cave drawings.
I would provide multiple case studies like massive crop circles that happen overnight with incredibly intricate designs, I would provide physical spaceship for you to walk on, I would give you video footage of aliens and have them meet you in person to shake their hand. I would produce numerous artifacts of technology would be available for you to see and examine that are beyond our current science.
For good measure declassified files and documents from the military would be available for you to see and examine from all over the world not just a single source. The next level of proof would be to take you in an alien spaceship and travel across the galaxy and go to their native homeworld where you can meet more aliens.
That would be sufficient evidence beyond question. You haven't even attempted to give a fraction of what is required all you have is words on paper from 2000 years ago. Talk is cheap and if thats all you have you are guillable af.
I'll play along and say that not only do I have selective hearing but I also have extreme Alzheimer's. That would reduce my brain capacity to about 20% Yet even then I use that 20% brainpower but you have not been using 100% of your brainpower.
What you fail to see is that the Bible is describing you. The Bible isn't using the Bible to prove it's true. The Bible is using addone to prove that it's true. You see addone is someone that can be interacted with online and in person.
Did you know that God is so powerful that he uses the very act of persecution to spread the Gospel all the more? The very act of you creating this thread has had the exact opposite effect of what you intended. Did you know that I did the Thessalonians Series because of the last time you did something like this?
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=101685324&f=119&o=0#p650146920 I had been pinging you for a reason.
One other person caused me to go and do a deep study on the Genealogy of Jesus, which I had then done a Bible Study with a group and was able to present this to you fairly quickly. If you actually knew a lot about the Bible you would realize that you are in fact helping spread the Gospel even further - the exact opposite thing of what you are intending.
You are no match for God.
Now that we have established that the Bible is proved correct and trustworthy NOT BY ITSELF but by YOU, explain to me how you are not being described here:
Psalm 14:1-3 NIV.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Romans 1:21-25 ESV
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, vwho is blessed forever! Amen.
