Jason Gastrich vs. Stan Kohls - 104 minutes online NOW! |
Hello,
I was able to convert the VHS tape to mp3 and upload the entire 104 minutes
of my debate with Stan Kohls from the Ventura Freethinkers. It was a great
debate and it got emotional and loud, at times, because the crowd asked
questions, made comments, etc.
Link: http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?sermonID=111303173856
Interestingly, several of the people in the Ventura Freethinkers have
decided to leave their group because of the way the people behaved on that
night. I didn't find anything overly offensive, but I have pretty thick
skin. Gene Cook asked them to quiet down a couple of times and he even
fielded a couple of questions. Pastor Cook is a seasoned debater and he was
also the moderator; although this debate had a loose format.
The Ventura Freethinkers were unable to produce even one biblical error.
Enjoy the debate.

I don't wish to be mean about this, Jason, *but* there is no way any
secular evidence would con[ince you of that. Or if I'm wrong on that,
perhaps you can give me a hint as to what fact would convince you that
the Bible is in error.
Enjoy the debate.
You know you really want a pro to encode this kind of thing you really
should ask me. Nicely.

What is Ref? If you want, you can see the Google Groups archive of
free.christians and scan for the old Stan Kohls debate thread. I posted
several messages from the Ventura Freethinkers. Here is a shortcut for you:

"Harmonized" -- kind of like the axe murderer who claims that multiple
nervous tics in succession forced him to chop his victim into little
pieces? That's about how you "harmonize" Biblical errors, Jason. I've
seen you do it so don't try to ***** me or anyone else.

Is this question bombing or are these rhetorical? Surely, you aren't
proposing a deep discussion regarding all four of those. Are you?
I'm happy to give a rapid fire response to your rapid fire questions.
Like the fact that the claims of the Flood contradict geological
evidence?
Untrue. See Answers in Genesis at http://answersingenesis.org. Check out
Dr. Steve Austin's work from ICR. http://icr.org
Like the fact that the claims of the Exodus contradict the desert?
I've researched this. See my page here:
http://www.jcsm.org/misc/TheExodus.htm
Like the fact that Jericho, at the time of Joshua, wasn't a walled
city?
Do you have any evidence for this? I'm assuming you'll post a link to some
geocities atheist site or something, but I hope you impress me with
something more substantial.
Line the fact that there was no city named Bethlehem in the Middle
East 2,000 years ago?
Once again, please provide some proof for this "question."
Sincerely,
Jason

Both sites are by definition not scientific sites. They require you to
deny any science that in any way questions the bible.
If science was done this way Einstein would have been executed for defying
Newton. I'm uncertain about what they would have done to Heisenberg.

Burn him of course. Better be save than sorry.
The inquisition much rather burned 100 righteous catholics than let

Geological textbooks in evolutionist schools contradict geological evidence.
They show diagrams of rock formations following the ages of the earth as
they see them all nicely set down one on top of the other. IN fact that

Don't be so fucking ridiculous. It was around even at the time of Micah.
The point is it was little, it didn't have to be a city. Why don't you
listen to the Word?
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in
Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
That's Micah 5,2, that is, pig head. Do you think Micah dreamed it up?
These are all stupid points, you've come up with.

So why is it quoted as a place name in Matthew then, when that whole passage
of Micah is quoted and put in context? You would think the Jews at the time
would have realised it was a tribe it really one, and not just in your
excuse for a brain, perverted beyond hope by your rebellion against the
creator.

Perhaps because Matthew was ignorant of the fact that the town did not
exist.
Considering the average that people lived at the time there is a very good
chance that Matthew was not alive or a young child at the time of Christ's
death
http://members.aol.com/JAlw/tax_census.html
is an interesting place to start.
"There Was No Universal Census at the Time of Jesus' Birth
Jesus was not greater than two years old when King Herod made his death
decree for all of Bethlehem's children under two years of age. Since Herod
died in 4 B.C., the earliest year of Jesus' birth would have been about 6
B.C. As pointed out by historians, the only census by Quirinius when he was
governor in Syria was conducted in A.D. 6-7 [2-3], which was twelve or more
years after the birth of Jesus. "

Nah, we're just telling you reality.
Line the fact that there was no city named Bethlehem in the Middle
East 2,000 years ago?
Don't be so fucking ridiculous. It was around even at the time of Micah.
The point is it was little, it didn't have to be a city. Why don't you
listen to the Word?
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,
Bethelehem Ephratah was a TRIBE, not a CITY, you fucking moron.
Get a fucking clue, you fucknut.
So why is it quoted as a place name in Matthew then
Because Matthew liked to make up *****.
Here, I'll show you.
Matt 4:12-16 (NRSV)
12: Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to
Galilee.
13: He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the
territory of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14: so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be
fulfilled:
15 : "Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea,
across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles -
16 : the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for
those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned."
Ok, this is supposed to be a prophecy from Isaiah. The relevant
passages are 9:1 and 9:2. Let's look at those.
1 : But there will be no gloom for those who were in anguish. In the
former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land
of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of
the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 : The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those
who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined.
Notice something amiss? Like--9:1-2 are much longer than what Matthew
quoted? Here, let's look at what Matthew chopped to invent a prophecy
where none existed. The brackets indicate the chops.
1 : [But there will be no gloom for those who were in anguish. In the
former time he brought into contempt] the land of Zebulun and the land
of Naphtali, [but in the latter time he will make glorious] the way of
the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 : The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those
who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined.
Now then, given that Matthew clearly invented a prophecy (also with
1:23, that whole silly virgin birth thing that nowhere appears in the
OT), anything that Matthew records is suspect, given his penchant for
lying. Matthew also has no knowledge of the geography of Judea.
You might want to do some fucking research, you illiterate *****.
when that whole passage
of Micah is quoted and put in context?
They did. That's why they laugh at it.
You would think the Jews at the time
would have realised it was a tribe it really one,
They did. That's why they didn't believe it.
and not just in your
excuse for a brain, perverted beyond hope by your rebellion against the
creator.

They will. Even 3,400 years from now. They found evidence of the

Constance, the words 'evolutionist schools' give your blatant lack of
geological knowledge away.

Haven't you ever heard of the fertile crescent?
Yes, I have. Besides being ignorant in geology, you don't know what a
desert is? You forgot the Hebrews were semi nomadic goatherds, not
being able to live in that fertile crescent? Even the weakest settled
tribe easily kept them out. Only later they are able to interbrete and
set up shop themselves.
Like the fact that Jericho, at the time of Joshua, wasn't a walled

Don't be so bloody stupid.
Now that sounds a wee bit rich...
You'll be telling me next Berlin wasn't a walled city next, just because
archeologists going there now wouldn't be able to dig up any bits of wall.
At the time of the assumed conquest, the city was deserted... Not
fucking difficult to conquer, wouldn't you agree?
You atheist guys are so fucking gullible it's untrue.
Ignorance cannot be measured. If one is a fundy...
Line the fact that there was no city named Bethlehem in the Middle
East 2,000 years ago?
Don't be so fucking ridiculous. It was around even at the time of Micah.
Bethlehem, I don't know about. Bethlehem Ephratah was a tribe, not a
city or village. Anyway, Nazareth did not exist. If found conflicting
statements: some sources I found mentioned it existed until 200 BCE,
disappeared, and was resettled after 70 CE. Others say it was never
settled before 120 CE. Still working on that.
All sources I found are unanimous in that no village of Nazareth
existed during 4 BCE-50 CE.
The point is it was little, it didn't have to be a city. Why don't you
listen to the Word?
Because the 'Word" is wrong.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in
Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
That's Micah 5,2, that is, pig head. Do you think Micah dreamed it up?
Yes. There are several villages and cities with the name Bethlehem.
These are all stupid points, you've come up with.

No, they're some of the errors you claim aren't in the bible.

No, I never read long apologisms. I'm just pointing out that,
contrary to your assertion, there ARE contradictions in the bible.
I'm happy to give a rapid fire response to your rapid fire questions.
Like the fact that the claims of the Flood contradict geological
evidence?
Untrue.
It's true. I'm asking how a flood could have occurred without leaving
evidence, not apologistic assertion that there's evidence.
See Answers in Genesis
AIG is a load of crap from beginning to end. I'm asking for evidence.
That means something published by someone recognized in the field, not
someone self-proclaimed to be an expert in the bible.
Check out Dr. Steve Austin's work from ICR.
The ICR is nonscientific nonsense masquerading as science.
Like the fact that the claims of the Exodus contradict the desert?
I've researched this. See my page here:
http://www.jcsm.org/misc/TheExodus.htm
So where are the many thousands of tons (actually something on the
order of 17 million tons, and that doesn't include the droppings of
their animals, which would have added at least another 17 million
tons) of coprolites that would have to be there? Not there, yet we
should have trouble finding the sand among all that stone. Yet
there's no sign of it.
Like the fact that Jericho, at the time of Joshua, wasn't a walled
city?
Do you have any evidence for this?
The ruins.

There are many more.
Most of the claims in the bible that can be checked have been shown to
be false.

I don't wish to be mean about this, Jason, *but* there is no way any
secular evidence would con[ince you of that. Or if I'm wrong on that,
perhaps you can give me a hint as to what fact would convince you that
the Bible is in error.
Something that contradicts and cannot be harmonized would be an error.
Who went to the tomb on Easter morning, what did they see there, was
the stone already rolled back or not, and what did the one man/two
men/one angel/two angels say to them? Where did the risen Jesus first
appear to the eleven?
