How God works (Introduction)

David: I know what you believe and what you have presented as truth. But the Biblical record is mainly hearsay, and the historian record likewise. I've looked at what Catholics call miracles, and I am just as skeptical there. The ossuary containing James bones, supposedly brother of Joshua (Jesus), is apparently a fake. There is no absolute solid evidence that Jesus existed except the stories about him. I happen to believe they are true, but I cannot prove my belief. Josephus' mention of Jesus is said to be a fraudulent entry, not Josephus' writings. Some scholars claim this. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure what to believe. If your 'prophecies' were crystal clear valid, there wouldn't be all this debate. They are interpretations. You are happy with them. I am not.-Much of Daniel actually translates itself, so it is not so much my interpretation. As for history, check out the Cyrus Cylinder and the Nabonidus Cylinder. These are straight from the tap, as it were.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
