........if you paid attention, I specifically asked in the original post that this be about methods and facts that demonstrate the inspiration for any and all holy texts to be who they say they are.
Not a place for him to trot out the same stuff he's apparently been trying for literally years wherever he had the chance.
Even in the case that his viewpoint was relevant, I cleanly disembowelled his position that his book alone contained fulfilled prophecy and that his cult alone could use this as verification of their inspitration's divinity.
If he wants to expound his views after being so easily dismissed, there are ways for him to do so, e.g. by starting a thread (AFAIK some already do exist). If you don't like my lack of subtlety in stating the above facts and wanting a straight answer to the straight question I asked, then you may as well get lost yourself.
I notice you rather entirely ignored the point which was directed specifically at you in that message.
Nij, be reminded the specific question you emboldingly highlighted in this thread OP:
Nij writes:
The question is this: how do the faithful know that their holy text is truly divine in origin, and not just the best trick ever devised by some evil god, demigod or other superbeing;
how do you tell who really inspired that scripture?
I directly and succinctly answered your question as to why I espouse the Biblical record to be holy text, divine in origin and not just the best trick ever devised by some evil god, etc.
Whether or not you choose to reject my reason, nevertheless it is
dead on and relevant to topic airing my answer to your question directly. I will not be bullied out of this thread because of your secularistic ideological mindset. If you can't stand the heat, don't start the fire. This is a debate board, not a host/hostess elegantly arranged tea party of like minded guests.
