Claims of God Being Omnipotent in the Bible

So you know what was originally meant? You are privy to the "TRUTH"?
Why should we believe you and not someone else?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

You cannot be serious. This book is one of the most blatant attempts by an apologist to present fallacy, distortion of evidence and gross misinterpretation to make "The Case for Christ".I challenge you to read also Challenging the Verdict, Earl Doherty, Age of Reason Publications.I have read both.I do find it very interesting that most fundies demand non believers read all of their tracts, but refuse to read anything that counters their own beliefs.

The mental gymnastics needed to this must be very painful. I have a feeling no matter what is presented you will not accept it. Oh here are a couple of his claims that Doherty touches on.
1) An unprecedented number of New Testament manuscripts can be dated extremely close to the original writings.Truth
Small scrap of John is from early 2nd century, nothing else is before 200CE2)Modern New Testament is 99.5% error free.
I guess this works for people who feel that their interpretation is the inspired interpretation.Truth
There have been a lot of changes to the text.
Isaiah 7:14 used the word almah, which mean woman of a marriageable age.
A greek translation erroneously translated this as parthenos, which means virgin.
Matthew then used the wrong translation to claim a prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 1:22-23.
Some translations use "virgin", some use "young woman". The correct translation is "young woman"

You religious types love to just throw stuff up and see if it sticks.Most of these "manuscripts" are just fragments.Before the 9th century there is only one complete manuscript of the New Testament. It is the Codex Sinaiticus from the 4th century CE.
We are told repeatedly by fundies that that the number of New Testament manuscripts is 5664. Source:Lee Strobel, Case for Christ
Only 59 are complete or almost complete all but 3 date from 9th century CE or later.
All the rest are fragments. Some consist of only a few verses.Now a lot of fundies love to compare this with the fact that the Iliad has only 643 surviving manuscripts. The problem here is that the Iliad is a single book by a single author. The numbers are not anywhere near impressive when you break down the New Testament to its individual books.Contradictions in the bible.
I found these in The Rejection of Pascals Wager by Paul Tobin.Who Conquered Hebron: Joshua or Caleb?
Who Slew Goliath: David or Elhanan?
Botany of the Mustard Seed.
What did Judas do with his 30 silver coins and how did he die?These are contradictions.

Please tell us where these tablets are kept so that we can look at them. Do you at least have a picture?

Her are a few choice bits from your link.

One of the more compelling arguments for this is the fact that science has recently revealed that there probably was a global catastrophic flood that took place about 10,000 years ago.

Uh no, science has revealed no such thing

Many of these texts are fragmented and incomplete, making context difficult to piece together at times.

Hmm interesting, so how about someone showing us the parts that have been translated that say what is claimed.

It’s a theory that has been ruled out as quite simply preposterous by academics and peer reviewed Archaeologists around the world since it was first proposed. There are many Ancient Alien theorists who refuse to consider Sitchin’s contributions due to his lack of empirical evidence and the fact that his is a translation of the tablets that many Cuneiform experts do not agree with.

Ahh, his own "special" translation.So basically you got nothing.

I guess those that "discipline" themselves to think critically realize that there is probably no supernatural. Cuz, if there were we would have some evidence. If evidence seems to appear we will reevaluate.
