I asked you a simple question - Why you thought the book of Revelation was evidence of a tampered with Bible.
You responded with a question. Where did the content come from? you asked.
You never told me why you think it evidences a tampered with Bible.

You've danced around the question why you think Revelation evidences a tampered with Bible.

Originally posted by FMFLike I said. You'd be hard press to produce from Revelation much that was absolutely NEW.

What's there that is absolutely new and never mentioned elsewhere in some form in the rest of the Bible ?
I'm not holding my breath though, for your answer.

You seem very ruled by a paranoia that everyone is out to hoodwink you.

You might take some time to consider how much you project your own thoughts onto others.

Good, go back and read my previous answer - last time.
It is a climax and recapitulation of the whole other 65 books of the divine revelation.
Oh, divine revelation means made known to man from God.

I do not subscribe to the Vedas or Al-Quran either; perhaps that is further evidence of "paranoia" on my part... in your view? 😉

Originally posted by FMFNo. I think you do not spend a fraction of the time arguing against the Vedas or Al-Quran as you do with the Bible.

Point me to another Forum and prove me wrong.
So I don't buy "They are all the same to me" line that easily.
In that none have an effect on your living - in THAT sense they are the same.
But I bet you reserve most of your energies to eliminate the Bible from your heart.
But if I am wrong - direct me to forums on Vedas or Al-Quran where you write post after post after post arguing.

Originally posted by sonshipWhere are their proponents on this forum? In the past I frequently confronted Dasa on his superstitions and assertions. Where are the advocates of the content of Al-Quran that you note I am not spending "time arguing against"?
No. I think you do not spend a fraction of the time arguing against the Vedas or Al-Quran as you do with the Bible.
