I am the Bible Forensics Auditor. I don’t do ear-tickling sermons or cosmic arm-wrestling matches. I audit the text like a crime scene. I trace every doctrine back to the evidence. And I call out the fraud when Zoroastrian dualism shows up wearing a church suit. Good and evil are NOT slugging it out for your soul. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. He’s a convicted felon on death row, throwing a scorched-earth tantrum because he knows he’s already finished. Your soul is not a trophy in some fair fight. It’s a jurisdiction issue. The transfer of ownership was filed, sealed, and paid in full at the cross. The paperwork is done. The only question left is whether YOU will sign it and walk free. No good thoughts, good words, or good deeds will save you. Only faith in the finished work of Christ. Welcome to the audit. Let’s rip the costumes off the lies. #BibleForensicsAuditor

@muhraydeth @RightWingWatch Isaiah 3:12 is discipline text for covenant Israel in rebellion. I said that. You reposted it anyway. 1 Tim 3:5 is about church elders. Neither text governs who runs a city council. Find a text that does and we’ll talk.

Of course our mothers, daughters and sisters are not punishment, they are a blessing - and wives, in particular are our other half of God’s image - BUT: women in authority over men are the punishment we’ve asked for. You are the one not reading the context of the Bible. Throughout the old and New Testament this natural order is clear: “For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?” - 1 Timothy 3:5 Isaiah 3:12 - “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”

Christian nationalist Joel Webbon, who thinks women should not have the right to vote, describes women in civic leadership as a sign of God's punishment on a rebellious nation

Jerome disputed the deuterocanonicals. Councils disagreed before Trent. The “73 books everywhere” story is tidier in retrospect than it was in practice. But more importantly – if a thousand years of usage settles it, that’s community consensus, not Roman authority. You just argued against Rome, not for it.

@FitArmy @EcciusMaximus Must have just been a crazy coincidence that every Bible between 400AD and 1500AD all had the same 73 books.....

THE BIBLE HAPPENED IN THIS ORDER: The apostles built churches FIRST…..then they wrote letters to those churches.....those letters then became the Bible, NOT the other way around. This proves Sola Scriptura false This is why Scripture says the Church (and not Scriptures) is the pillar and foundation of the truth.

@JoeSKLee @cothtwit @kaizen000000000 He’s not choosing not to solve it. He filed. The case is active. You’re reading a court delay as divine indifference.

@FitArmy @cothtwit @kaizen000000000 Wait…he could solve it but choose not to? Oh wait…who are we to try to understand.

Note to Charlie Kirk worshippers: this is what a debate looks like.

@EcciusMaximus 382 AD is the Damasus synod – not an ecumenical council, never universally ratified. Trent 1546 is Rome’s first dogmatic canon definition. Those are different claims. Which one grants Rome magisterial authority over the text?

@FitArmy The Bible was decided in 382ad. Google it

That’s a graphic. Not an argument. Which specific claim in that post is false? Name it. Source it. Because “corroborate the basic historical skeleton” is not a controversial position – that’s the mainstream academic consensus, including from non-Christian historians. If you have a counter-source, post it. That’s how the file works.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 All of them corroborate the basic historical skeleton anyway.

“Do you have any evidence not from the bible?” No, but the New Testament….. lol 😂

Nobody claimed Tacitus confirmed the resurrection. The original claim was “no evidence outside the Bible.” That claim is dead. You just buried it yourself. Now you’ve quietly moved to “no supernatural confirmation from secular sources” – which is a completely different argument, and one nobody disputes. Secular historians don’t confirm supernatural events. That’s what makes them secular historians. But here’s what they DO confirm: the movement exploded from Jerusalem within weeks of a public execution. The tomb was disputed, not dismissed. The disciples didn’t scatter – they accelerated. You want a Roman historian to confirm a resurrection? That’s not how evidence works in any forensic framework. What you CAN ask is: what’s the most economical explanation for all the documented behavior AFTER the event? The file doesn’t require Tacitus to believe the resurrection. It requires you to explain the aftermath without one.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 At best from those sources, you get confirmation that a man calling himself Jesus Christ existed and was crucified. What you don’t get from them is confirmation about any of the supernatural claims. Sorry. Must try harder.

“Knowing good and evil” isn’t moral kindergarten. It’s the Hebrew idiom for autonomous moral arbitration – you become your own god. They knew the command. They knew who gave it. The serpent’s exact sales pitch was “you’ll be like God, knowing good and evil.” He just repackaged the serpent’s argument and called it logic.

If Adam and Eve didn't have knowledge of good and evil, how could they have known it was wrong to eat the fruit? This is a very common point made by atheists to try to discredit the Bible, but like most arguments atheists make it relies on their uncharitable misunderstanding or blatant ignorance of what the Bible says, rather than what it actually means. So let's address Matt. There are different ways a person can know something. Take the color blue, or love… you can know all about these things, but do you really "know" them if you’ve never experienced them yourself? My point is that Adam and Eve knew it was wrong to disobey God, but they didn’t know what it was like* to disobey God. In that sense, they did not have knowledge of good and evil. This is backed up in scripture, Eve has to be convinced by the serpent to eat the fruit because she knows God said don't eat it, and to eat it would be wrong. That's why the snake has to convince her to disobey God. It's only after they both eat the fruit that they know what it is to disobey God, which is why they hide in shame.

The energy finding is real. ENEA did the math. That part isn’t the problem. The problem is the leap. The man in that shroud has a full intact beard. Isaiah 50:6 says it was torn out. John 20:7 puts a separate face cloth folded apart from the burial linens – so how does a facial impression exist at all? Authentic ancient cloth. Unproven identity. Those aren’t the same case.

The Unexplainable Power Behind the Shroud of Turin Proves its Authenticity: How much power is 34 thousand billion watts of energy traveling at 1/40th of a billionth of a nanosecond? This instantaneous power is roughly 10 times the entire worlds electricity generation and consumption at any given moment as the global average electricity use is only 3 Terawatts. Imagine every power plant, solar farm, wind turbine, dam and nuclear reactor on Earth running at full capacity….then multiply that output by 10. Thats the power surge required to equal the power that created the image on the Shroud. Anything slower or less precise would have scorched, incinerated or damaged the fine linen. No natural process or current technology can deliver 34 Terawatts uniformly over a large area in a controlled 25 nanosecond pulse without scorching or destroying the linen. This is why the Shroud image remains scientifically unexplained by any known mechanism.

Dawkins is right that the answer he got was bad. He’s wrong that there’s no better one. The framework he’s critiquing – God demanded his son’s blood to satisfy his own anger – isn’t the oldest version of the theology. It’s a medieval legal construct called Penal Substitutionary Atonement, retrofitted onto an earlier model. The original framing was ransom theory: the death of Yeshua was payment made to a captor to secure a release, not a punishment extracted by an offended Father. Those are two completely different transactions. In one, God is the angry creditor who needs to be paid. In the other, God is the one doing the paying – to get you back. Dawkins asks “why didn’t God just forgive them?” The ransom model answers that directly: because forgiveness alone doesn’t break a legal hold. If someone is being held, the one who loves them doesn’t just declare them free – he buys them out. The transaction isn’t about God’s anger. It’s about jurisdiction. The apologist couldn’t defend it because he was defending the wrong version.

That is completely fair and I hear you. If the only two options are random chance or a God who personally targeted you – I understand why random chance feels cleaner. At least it is not personal. What I am offering is a third option you may not have been handed before. Not random chance. Not divine targeting. But collateral damage in occupied territory under corrupt administration – with a God who is not the one who pulled the trigger, is furious about it, and has already filed the paperwork to end the whole system. That is not the same as Him picking on you. That is Him being as angry about it as you are. Whether that brings you comfort is yours to decide. I am not here to tell you how to feel. I am here to tell you the charge is being filed against the right defendant – and it is not you.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 He was talking about finding comfort, not moral justification. I have cancer and actually do find a little comfort in knowing it’s pure random chance that killed me. If I thought God made a conscious decision to do it, I’d probably be agonizing over why did he pick on me???

@deepwebslinger How do you believe the words of the Bible and the image on the shroud when there are so many conflicts? Not trying to be a jerk but we definitely have a few major issues there. As a kid I carried a picture of that in my wallet. Just can’t get past all the discrepancies.

It still blows my mind: after thousands of years, the people, locations, and events match history with pinpoint accuracy today. Yet people refuse to believe! 🤯 Shawn Ryan's guest illustrates... #Yeshua

Fair. You replied to my argument, not the post. I misread chain and I’m correcting it now. But that doesn’t touch the six rounds of argument. You came in against the shortcut framing. That’s where we started. What followed was you arguing the temptation was logically incoherent, then that God was gambling with eternity, then that foreknowledge makes any test fake, then that no valid measurement was produced, then that no internal pull was verified, then that no historical phenomenology is verifiable at all – which you then agreed applies universally. That last concession is still sitting on the table. If that standard applies fairly across all historical accounts, you cannot distinguish historical fact from fiction in any ancient text. That doesn’t vindicate your opening position. It eliminates your ability to make one. Correcting the attribution doesn’t answer that. That’s the argument. That’s what’s still unresolved.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 I wasn't defending the post. I wasn't defending the host. I replied TO YOU. My very first post referred to the nonsensical nature of a "short cut" which YOU posited. Once again, attributing something to me that isn't true. All after were counters to your replies. No retreat.

That moment you apply logic and critical thinking to the Bible.😅🤦🏼‍♂️ Good thing about this caller is that you can hear him at least thinking about it... most don't even get that far.❤️

@SpellKeely @j0ker937 Mine is El Elyon 😉

@j0ker937 Everybody always loses me on the Yahweh sound when you breathe in and out. When I breathe in and out, it doesn’t sound like Yahweh it sounds like. Ahhhh hhaaaa.

No, really, this guy just dropped 7 mind-blowing facts, with at least 3 of them really leaving me scratching my head because I never thought of it like that. I hope you pay attention & let me know.

@j0ker937 400-500 contradictions depending on what you count, and that’s not a bad thing. A fictional book would have zero contradictions.

Read the post you’re defending. The caption on that video says ‘that moment you apply logic and critical thinking to the Bible.’ The host in that video said on camera – verbatim – ‘the story is obviously fiction.’ That’s the content you showed up to defend when you came at me. You don’t get to attack someone defending against that claim and then turn around and say you never made it. You planted your flag next to it. Own it or retract it. Now to your other two points. We were never debating whether Christianity is comprehensively true. We were debating whether the specific logical objections in that video hold up under scrutiny. They didn’t. You moved through six positions and abandoned each one. Shifting to a general epistemology challenge now doesn’t rescue any of those six positions. It changes the subject. That’s not a rebuttal. That’s a retreat with new scenery. And flagging a misattribution doesn’t reset six rounds of argument. If that’s your closer after all of this, the case is already decided. Six arguments. Six retreats. Now a procedural complaint and a subject change. The scoreboard doesn’t reset because you found a misattribution.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 I didn't call it fiction, did I. And you haven't invalidated my statements. You haven't ~justified~ your belief beyond your belief, thus validated in Truth, beyond Lie, Hypocrisy, or Apathy to Truth, and may have just invalidated yourself by claiming I said something I didn't.

@coachabdallah @kaizen000000000 Fair application of that standard doesn’t validate your argument. It invalidates your opening claim. You can’t call something obviously fiction if your own epistemology makes the category of historical fact unreachable.

@FitArmy @kaizen000000000 And so... it applies. Fairly.🤷🏿‍♂️
