For one who has no clue to much in the bible and certianly none about the trees in the garden or the principles in the bible that one is to take care of the life God gave us and that smoking is bad for you and something God would not aprove of, you sure spout off a lot and point your crooked little finger at everyone here that doesn't agree with you.
Don't you have employment or a family or something you should be doing then blowing off your empty nonsense here every ten minutes?

I know why don't you actually do something good for all of us here and share some good spiritual and upbuilding information with us to make our day enjoyable?
No? I didn't think so.......

It's easy to find and I gave you verbatim quotes above. Look at pages 64 to 69.

In fact I've never seen that scripture either.

robbie said: "Whether something is explicitly stated in scripture does not effect the veracity of its claim because as i pointed out, scripture does not explicitly forbid smoking cigarettes but one may deduce from what is written that its anti biblical." [page 64]

He went on to say: "...so you were telling us how, given the example that I cited of cigarettes why their not being explicitly mentioned in scripture has any bearing on the veracity of the claim that their use is forbidden in scripture the Christian being counselled to refrain from anything which defiles the spirit or flesh." [page 65]

Do you agree with robbie on this issue?

I see those poser boys at the gym with their skinny wee bodies and chocolate protein drinks, kissin their puny muscles in the gym mirrors. I just wanna be fit. I done manual labour for thirty years, i don't need muscles.
You're going to die, along with everybody else on the planet, I can't help you there. You believe you're going to be resurrected on an earthly paradise in the not too distant future right? What's the issue with dying then?

Rob you conveniently dodged the question.

there is no problem, but as an existentialist I would like to complete a meaningful act before I go, it will take time.

Whether it constitutes empirical evidence remains to be seen, its the evidence we have for Jesus historicity.

So are you saying you have no empirical evidence, using your own definition, for the life and deeds of Jesus? What exactly 'remains to be seen' you either do or you don't?

they must be taken on a case by case basis, that is what I mean.

Okay. Let's pick a few cases and see what you have.

The raising of Lazarus as described in the Gospel of John. Any 'empirical evidence'?

the Biblical account.

This surely though fits into the 'religious belief' category and not the 'empirical evidence' category? Unless you have any empirical evidence someone can come back from the dead after 4 days?

its an ancient document which I have no valid reason to dismiss the validity of its contents.
