Wow. You really ARE missing the point. One last chance, and that's all.
You claim that the Bible is right.
You admit that you may be wrong.
Therefore, the Bible may be wrong.
And quite frankly, I don't care if you think the Bible is right. I also
think it may be right. But I admit that I don't know (and even that I think
it's wrong), and therefore it MAY indeed be right.
- If you HONESTLY think that the Bible CANNOT be wrong, you are either wrong
for thinking so, OR, you have some reason that you have not shared with us
for thinking that. What reason is there that the Bible CANNOT be wrong. And
none of this "Because it's God's word" argument. I'll quickly refute that by
saying:
1. How do you know it's God's word?
2. How do you know that God's word isn't wrong?
In other words, it's the SAME question, only the subject has changed. WHY do
you believe that the Bible is right?
