Emails from Christian apologists: 5


    Another email received stated the the following:
>I am a minister of the Word of God.
>I have read your inconsistencies and absurdities as

    My response to this 'minister'(!) was:
    'I find it somewhat ironic that I am accused of 'twisting' the Bible when in reality Christian theology and belief is dependent this activity.
    If you believe the Bible is an infallible authority, why not, as an example, provide a verse-by-verse reconciliation of the resurrection narratives (Matt 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21, Acts 1 and 1 Cor 15:3-8)?'


    Needless to say I did not receive any further communications from this 'very educated minister of the Word of God'.
