Why ask only Christians to defend the Bible?

pssst.......

mormons ARE christian - and do defend the bible.....

Actually, only literalists are being asked to defend the Bible, because they're the only ones who have a position according to which the book is the perfect word from God. If you don't hold that position, there's not much point asking you to defend the Bible, since you don't regard it as infallible to start with. And this attitude towards the text is mostly found among fundamentalist Christians.

Jews have a complex system of interpretation according to context. Apart from a few sects, they're very unlikely to treat the Bible as a straightforward history book. Muslims regard the Bible as inspired, but corrupted. Mormons think the Book of Mormon supersedes the biblical text and don't believe in impeccable transmission either.

I bet you have a favorite book, too. Say whatever you like about the Bible, if you like, but you can't really force anyone else to defend their faith, you can just defend yours, and call attention to the things you don't like that they have done. Some of the things Christians and Jews have done are in the Bible, so criticizing those acts, and inconsistencies in the book are fair game.

Jews only accept the "Old Testament" part of the Bible, and Muslims do not accept that it has as much authority as the Quran. Christians accept the entire Bible as the Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

Therefore we are asked most frequently.

Since we are so rarely address to answer certain questions I offer our insight where I can. However, I can only answer so many questions per day, as my computer time is limited.

Since the bible was our book, written by our people, in our language and if not for Ptolemy few other than the Jewish people would have ever seen a bible. We do not understand why xtians think they have it all over us in biblical knowledge.

Jews only consider the first 5 books of the OT sacred.

Muslims don't consider the WHOLE Bible as sacred, and in fact it isn't specified what parts they believe in.

I guess they support whatever supports Islam in the Bible.

If someone addresses a question to "Christians", I do answer it. Because Latter-day Saints are Christian. The whole church is founded on Jesus Christ, so that, along with a great love for the Bible and its teachings, wouldnt leave me thinking twice before I answered.

because over 2/3 of the time your dealing with christians over muslims and jews on here

So, mormons ain't christian? That's confusing. As for your Q...a little wrong

The Bible has the new testament....Jews do not subscribe to that part....I know Muslims see the Christ as a prophet, but I'm not sure that means they accept the new testament.....

Nice try though.....

PS: see, Phrog knows what I'm saying...I thought they was Christian too....

Each Bible requires 20 trees to be cut down. For a batch of 1000 Bibles to be made, 20000 trees must be cut down.

the jews frequently view it as metaphorical; the muslims view it as corrupted; ... it's the literal fundamentalist christian interpretations that require the defending
