Tyre was prophesied to be utterly destroyed. It wasn't, and it is currently a nice tourist town.
Is that the same city? Is it a different location?

It is the same-named town, existing in the same geographic location
it is very sad that because science is so clueless that you guys don't have a clue that the sea levels dropped around 1200 ft 3200 years ago it also dropped or raised up 2800 years ago....... to think you think that is the same spot that was tyre is really quite hilarious.

inspired document.
You will note that from the very first of the ten posts, I offered for Pshun2404 to contribute to base expectations of a text divinely inspired. I did not posit that I was detailing the only possible description of such a text, but only that I was offering what we could assume were minimal expectations. In other words, I didn't tell you what a major league pitcher's game would look like, only what type of performance would fit the minimum standards we would expect out of such a pitcher.
It would be safe to assume that a pitcher who throws a 40 mph fastball, has no other pitches, and can't hit the strike zone, is not a legitimate professional baseball player, no matter how much someone else argues in that favor. Likewise, because the bible is contradictory, immoral, a product of its own culture, and factually erroneous, it is not the work of a legitimate deity, not matter how much adherents might wish otherwise.
Pshun said:And as I made clear from the beginning my purpose was not to respond endlessly to your claims but to provide evidence and arguments "for"...most of your points came from the barrage of liberal anti-biblical bias I anticipated and were not worth comment...to address each one would have taken a series of small books...and you already had made up your mind so facts would only have been rejected or else would confuse you.
I on the other hand came from your camp and after many years of study (honestly and objectivity purposely ignoring what I had been taught to believe) KNOW there is a God and KNOW Him...you strain at the gnats swallowing the camel whole. Ever learning but never able to come to the truth...such is the path of knowledge-so-called. Believe what you will as you are the lord of your own life, the only god with which you have to do but just remember that might makes right in a survival of the fittest world. One day you will meet God explain your many reasons to Him on that Day my friend...
jax5434 said:Why would you think that either of you would know the minimal expectations of a divine being?
The question isn't what you think are the minimal expectations but what a divine being would see as minimal.
I know the minimal expectations of a divine being because said divine being is capable of quantum physics... so we should suspect it has some degree of intelligence.
So ancient Tyre lays beneath and is no longer extant?
