Amazing,
Good to see you back on the forum! I have not been on much lately, myself.
How Are you doing health wise? I'm sure you posted about it somewhere, so if you could just give me the URL that would be OK. I know this is off-topic to the thread, but at least it will keep it on the top. It is better then the btt.

Netscrape is dead !

aol have agreed to license ie for the forseeable future (at least 7 years) and have also signed up for media player 9 which must represent a major blow to real player and apple.
the two companies have also agreed to cooperate on im which should be good news for all of us (i guess yahoo won't have any option but to cooperate also or be left out).

I have just had to run the "product recovery" CD on my computer because Windows95 got too corrupted to work right. As a result, I downloaded the latest copy of Opera and I don't like using it. It is waaaayyyy toooo slow for my computer. I still like using Netscape 3.04 with JavaScript turned OFF. I can download most pages really fast. Whereas, Opera takes about 5 minutes to download a page from this forum. I don't like waiting 5 minutes between pages!! Yes, I have an old computer and a dial-up (28k) account, but I can't afford a new 'puter. So I'm stuck using the old dinosaur. I vote for NETSCAPE!! NewLight2

Virgin Birth Claim Disproves Biblical Inspiration
by AlanF inmany bible believers claim that the old testament contains over 300 so-called messianic prophecies.
however, a careful look at such claims shows that at least 80% of these have absolutely no connection with jesus, or with events beyond what the ancient writer was concerned with.. take, for example, the famous example of the supposed virgin birth of jesus.
this is based on the text of matthew 1:18-23 (nasb):18 now the birth of jesus christ was as follows: when his mother mary had been betrothed to joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the holy spirit.

In a following post Newlight2 said:
: First of all, AlanF, you made a mistake -- in Isaiah 7:13-14 the person being spoken to was not Ahaz, it was the House of David -- the nation of Israel (Ahaz had correctly refused to test God):AlanF - you have made another posting mistake - your second in this thread (the first was pointed out to you by Farkel). I did not make the above statement which continues at great length. That was posted by "UnDisfellowshipped" and it is he/she that has consulted with a Christian friend. We are NOT the same poster.
Please edit your post to reflect this mistake.

AlanF says:
"I consider this particular Abraham story to be complete myth. . .So here we have an example of a myth being used to support a claim of
Biblical inspiration. Is it any wonder that skeptics are skeptical?"
Where is your outside "proof" that the Isaac/Abraham story is a myth?
What ancient text can you cite that says that "this particular Abraham story to be complete myth"?
The Old Testament is one document. The New Testament is one document. They are two separate documents, however, combined they make up the one modern day book, the Bible. As two separate documents, they can justly be compared with each other. It is not circular reeasoning and special pleading to do this. I am not trying to "prove" insparation of the Bible here. Biblical typology is a method of interpretation. It is a method of study to compare and analize two documents by comparing one with the other. That is where the words "foreshadowed" and "typified" have their importance.

JamesT,
Where is your "proof" that these statements are true of Buddha, Horus,
et all? What I'm looking for here is solid documentation from ancient texts that state these things that are listed here by you. I know that I have read this list in a book before, but in that book there was NO corresponding "proof texts" given. How can one be sure that your "list of facts" are really FACTS? I need PROOF.
AlanF,
UnDisfellowshipped has stated:
"I believe that Matthew was saying that Isaiah 7:14 foreshadowed and typified the Messiah's birth -- I do not believe that Matthew is saying that the immediate or only fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 is the Messiah's birth. In the same way, Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac foreshadowed and typified The Father sending The Son [Jesus Christ] to Earth to be sacrificed."
To which you answered:
"UnDisfellowshipped, your final arguments are a good example of the special pleading that I explained is a false argument. Answer this: If Isaiah 7:14 refers to a truly virgin birth for Jesus, then why does it not refer to a truly virgin birth for the child that was to be born in Ahaz' day?"
My questions to you are:
Why do you consider his answer to be "special pleading" in reference to the virgin birth but not to Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac?
The key to understanding this passage lies in the words foreshadowed and typified. The OLD Testament is revealed in the NEW Testament.
They both foreshadowed and typified events in the life of Jesus. Isaac DID NOT actually die, but Jesus did, therefore, the "maiden" in the Isaiah account DID NOT have to refer to a 'truly virgin birth for the child that was to be born in Ahaz' day' any more then Isaac had to actually die as a sacrifice.

Bin Laden sons 'shot, captured'
By Anna Cock in New York
March 09, 2003
THE United States has refused to deny reports
that two of Osama bin Laden's sons including
his heir apparent to the al-Qaida terror network
have been captured in a gun battle with US
troops.
Then another News Source reports just the oppisite!
news.telegraph.co.uk
US counter-terrorism officials denied that the sons were captured.
Ummmmmm . . .
Seems like a major case of DIS-information being spread now in the war on Terror!
