If god speaks to us and does not tell us lies, then he speaks the truth. Yes! If we are inspired by god and write down the words of god as spoken to us by god, then they are truth and are infact the words of god. Yes!! Therefore the men who where INSPIRED by god who wrote the bible are not fallible...

In my mind August has nailed this coffin shut. Well done.

Yes, well done. All that bible study and he certainly knows how to nail a coffin shut. I thank God I'm not in there ...

I won't trouble you any more with my non-Christian beliefs ...

"Seedling, I have to ask, who are you a student of? Who is this person that you heard on the radio that changed your life? Whose teachings do you currently follow?" August ... I don't follow anyone but I am a student of everyone. I can learn from anyone, anything. That's the point ... you...

Hi August, You say: "You seem to follow this logic: Man is fallible, man wrote the Bible, therefore the Bible is fallible. My contention is: God is perfect, His revelation is perfect, the Bible is His revelation, therefore the Bible is perfect." My statement is: Man is fallible, man seeks ...

Hi August, You didn't offend me. I just didn't understand what more you wanted me to say, I thought I explained how I felt and what I saw and backed it up to the best of my ability. You say that you may be asking something that I cannot describe in words and I think I did do my best to describe how ...

Deborah, Your post made me cry. It is not off-topic, it is about faith. And it really touched me. I, too, was "born again" when a teen. I decided to take the Lord's way. I asked him to come into my life. I told him I wanted my soul to be in his hands, not my own. Not a bad start ... but fo...

Hi Deborah, I have read and studied the bible since I was 16. That's 27 years. Like yourself, I am just an average joe. I was "born again" when I was 17. I am not bashing the bible or saying it is a crock or it's "just a story." I don't mean to come across that way. I love the bi...

August ... How do I know that a Creator gave me my mind, myself and my abilities? How do you think I know? Who else gave me them? No human did ... something, someone started the spark that created all things ... there seems to be an intelligence to creation ... don't you think? I have a brain and a ...

"What is real and facts pertaining to each is what's different. Christianity is absolutely useless if it's gospel message isn't real." Kurieuo, you are right. Christianity is absolutely useless if it's gospel message isn't real. And Jesus is the most real person that ever walked the earth...

August writes: Who created this [mind and ability to think things through to a conclusion] in you? Me: A Creator who I barely know created my mind and gave me myself and my abilities. August: So which parts [of the bible] are not true? Are the parts that are true only the truth for you, or is it th...

Also, August ... I would consider changing my little message there "atheists are morons." There may be some truth seeking atheists on the board, and to be honest, it's not really a message that touches the heart or inspires confidence. It's kind of hostile... but, that's just my belief ......

Kurieo writes: "Errr... I think I see a little something I'm very disagreeable with, that is, Christianity is true for me, but not for others. The thing is I believe Christianity to be true, and so it is true for all. My belief isn't just a preference like a certain flavour of icecream." I...

But August, isn't that what Christians do? Isn't that what all religions do? My belief is a truth for ME ... from what I have discovered. I can share it with people because thank goodness we live in a country where I can speak what I believe. There is either a recognition inside of them that what I ...

"August, I believe the bible was written by men who were seeking God, . . . Do I believe every word of the bible is directly from God, or from men "inspired" by God? No." Hi August, I think the key word here is "belief." I don't believe the bible is divinely inspired. ...

"I'm saying to check out the apologetical section of a Christian bookstore, not the "Christian Living," or "Spirituality" section."

What does "apologetical" mean? Defending the Christian faith and beliefs?
