Christians: if you claim you just have faith that the bible is the word of your god, then can you see…?

…how it’s dishonest for you to claim that your bible is, “The word of God” when you don’t know this, you only believe it? The only way you can ‘know’ the bible is the word of your god is if you apply some kind of unbiased truth verification process to it and not one Christian in the entire history of Christianity has ever applied some kind of unbiased truth verification process to their belief that the bible is the word of a god, right? Christians who do attempt to apply some kind of unbiased truth verification process usually end up becoming atheists, don’t they?

    Desiree;

    God is intended not to knock any ones head and install faith in him. He knows you more than you know yourself. According of the language of your questionings, you are not ready.

    You ask us about the Bible. Every born again christian is willing to give up his life on earth rather than to give up his faith in God and His Word the Bible.

    There are prophecies of old and the fulfillment of them in the New Testament.

    There are prophecies for the future especially the last book of the Bible, The Revelation. I advice you not to read it for why you will carry more weight on your soul before the judgment seat of Christ in the last day. 2 Coronth 5:10

    There are tears that this Book have whipped out.

    The Founder of this religion is, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, is Holy, the Son of a virgin, without contamination and not like other religion founders whom you do not trust to invite them to you home.

    He sent His disciples like sheep among wolves. CAN YOU HONESTLY COMPARE!

    If you look at this on a grander scope, and an examination of the laws of physics, the question of faith changes entirely. You, like I, and like everyone else on earth, don't KNOW anything, not one single thing. For example, take a quarter. Hold it out, and let it go. What happens? You know it's going to drop to the ground, right? Wrong. The laws of physics will teach you that regardless of how many times it does just that, there is ALWAYS a chance that it will float in midair, or rise to the ceiling, or simply disappear. But, since the only thing you've ever seen it do in this situation is drop to the floor, you take it ON FAITH that will happen again. Same applies with everything. We, as humans, can't KNOW anything irrefutably. I have faith that God speaks to me through the Bible. I have faith that there's something after this life. Just as I have faith that everything happens for a reason. Just as I have faith that when I take this can of Sprite in front of me, and I open it, that what I pour into this glass will indeed be Sprite. But I don't know that. Let's find out.

    regardless of if some human beings, inclusive of myself, have faith that the Bible is the observe of God, a great variety human beings don't think it hasn't been unaltered, considering King Jimmy and Marty-Come-at the instant of course altered it. What makes the Bible greater " ' God stimulated' any further than the Tao Te Ching, or for that remember, the replica of 'Bartender's Pocket handbook' "? You of course have by no ability been a extreme student of the Bible, and consequently leave this variety of area of interest of know-how that to attempt to describe it here on solutions might circulate a good distance previous what Yahoo has features for, or you are able to desire to appreciate in this variety of format. circulate study the Bible, heavily study it, and then come again and attempt to place your "question" in a greater clever format. God Bless you.

    We generally use the prophesies as that proof. To the degree they became true, to that degree the Bible is true. And there are still prophesies yet to materialize. And everything prophesized has so far become reality.

    All I know is I am a sinner who deserves hell. I have lusted, stolen and profaned Gods name.

    I can not get to heaven based on my deeds.

    Thankfully Jesus took my punishment for me.

    Oh.....the answer to your question is in the resurrection of Jesus. If he rose from the dead, it is all true. If he didn't, you are right and x-ianity is a waste of time.

    How do you know that Abraham Lincoln ever existed. It is called Historical science.
