Is it your personal opinion that the claim [which we all accept you did not originate] is true?

you keep pandering these assertions without being able to substantiate a single claim of your own. Ill substantiate my claims you substantiate yours. Your question of course makes no sense, why? because the Bible contains, history, names of rulers, dates, cities, poetry, symbolic language, prophetic language, personalities, Kings, vine dressers, f ...[text shortened]... ncerning the Biblical account of Pontious Pilate is fictional and on what basis is it fictional.

Let's start at the top: The Book of Genesis.

Aside from some actual people and place names, the stories presented in this book are largely based
on myth and legend, or so it seems. Are you able to provide some scientific evidence or documentation
that any of the events described in the Book of Genesis really happened?

Simple question, yes or no.

No lets establish that the Bible contains accurate factual information about real historical personages in stark contrast to the unfounded and now demonstrably ludicrous assertion that its fictional. A statement made by you.

I've positively influenced a lot more people than you have with your 20 odd years of door knocking. I'm surprised your Kingdom Hall leader hasn't got you on a performance improvement plan or at least some remedial training.

By stark contrast, you, divesgeester and that other balloonist Handy Andy make claims, the Bible is allegorical, it was used as a political weapon, its fictional etc etc not a single reference, not a single piece of empirical data, nothing but an opinion, uncorroborated , unsubstantiated ...

I've never said any of those things.

I'm not surprised by your dishonestly; it seems you and Galveston missed the Jehovah Witness lesson on honesty during your programming.

So the tree of life is in fact dead?

You are claiming that the tree of life in the garden of Eden was a real tree (aren't you?). Galveston claims the tree of life is now destroyed in the flood. All this without one piece of corroborative evidence and despite the fact the tree is mentioned in the book of revelation and is clearly symbolic. Your pretensious posturing must be embarrassing for other Jehovah's Witness.

wow i don't think anyone will be taking lessons from a triangle pinging aquarium keeper and hot air balloonist who has the audacity to calls himself a Christian with no public ministry but if they wanted advice on how to hide their love away, then you da man, you can cite your Magnum opus 'talent hiding for Christians'😵

Do you agree with Galveston that the tree of life is dead?

It was a reference to your debating style, never a single corroborating fact, just a plethora of balloon fuel.

I have not said a single thing about the tree of life other than to ascertain what the Bible says about it and I have no opinion beyond that.

Oh I see, when you say "divegeester makes claims that the Bible is allegorical", what you actually mean is nothing like what you posted.

Kinda sounds like more of you two Jehovah's Witnesses bearing false witness to me.

galveston75 claims "the tree of life is dead". Does the Bible claim "the tree of life is dead"?
