The popular assertion of present-day shallow thinkers that their Christianity rejects the Old Testament but accepts the New is, to say the least, unrealistic, for the New Testament is based on the Old. Both are inseparably united and of necessity when one is rejected the other also must be refused. What the seed is to the plant so is the Old to the New. How can the plant be received and the seed which produced it rejected?
The Bible claims to be the Word of God and by staking this claim the Bible simply but plainly declares its divine authority, complete infallibility and absolute sufficiency.
The Bible's authority is not derived from reason. The Bible does not appeal to reason and demand obedience because our reason sanctions its teachings. Its authority is not rational in that sense, although we believe the Bible to be reasonable ultimately, because it is the Word of Him Who is the source of all reason. Our reason needs to be approved by the Bible and not the Bible by our reason.
The Bible's authority is not derived from the emotions. The Bible does not appeal to our feelings and demand obedience because our feelings acquiesce in its teachings. Its authority is not emotional, and our feelings need to be approved by the Bible, and not the Bible by our feelings.
The greatest fact of all time is the Bible. How a book which has been so universally attacked could survive and attain to such a place of eminence is a miracle eloquently testifying to its supernatural origin.
The unity of the Bible is one of the greatest evidences of its supernatural origin.
The Bible is unique. Hundreds of years and in some cases over a thousand years before certain events took place, the Bible made precise predictions concerning those events. No other sacred book ventured to make such predictions. The Bible is the only book which dared to stake its claim to divinity on the accuracy of its prophecies!
I'm a Christian to but there are mistakes in the Bible, especially the kjv. Paul says to rightly divide the word of truth. In other words you need to understand the whole book and not pick out just parts.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

No, the Bible isn't infalliable word of God. Das Nibelungenlied is. You don't want the proof (unless you want to be smitten with Mjölnir).

Sez you. Call an apple a carburetor doesn't make it one.

I'm ok with that.

I agree that the two testaments are united, but so what? If one cow shits in the barn and a second cow follows suit, you've simply got twice as much shit.
Quote:The Bible claims to be the Word of God and by staking this claim the Bible simply but plainly declares its divine authority, complete infallibility and absolute sufficiency.
Sorry, but making a claim in no wise assures the validity of that claim. I can claim to be the owner of all the diamond mines in South Africa, that doesn't make it so.
Quote:The Bible's authority is not derived from reason.
I couldn't agree more.
Quote:The Bible does not appeal to reason and demand obedience because our reason sanctions its teachings.
But reason does not sanction the Bible; faith does that, and faith is the antithesis of reason.
Quote: Its authority is not rational in that sense, although we believe the Bible to be reasonable ultimately, because it is the Word of Him Who is the source of all reason. Our reason needs to be approved by the Bible and not the Bible by our reason.
But the Bible is chock-a-block with unreasonable things, substitutive sacrifice being a glaring example. If we are to allow our reason to be approved by the cheek by jowl crap in the Bible, then reason can't exist. Since reason does exist, the Bible can't be the source for approval of reason.
Quote: The Bible's authority is not derived from the emotions. The Bible does not appeal to our feelings and demand obedience because our feelings acquiesce in its teachings. Its authority is not emotional, and our feelings need to be approved by the Bible, and not the Bible by our feelings.
I disagree. ALL religious texts gain authority from the emotion of their supplicants, the primary emotions involved being guilt, fear, and greed.
Quote:The greatest fact of all time is the Bible. How a book which has been so universally attacked could survive and attain to such a place of eminence is a miracle eloquently testifying to its supernatural origin.
But the Bible hasn't been universally attacked. You're here supporting it, aren't you? And if attacks on the Bible are indeed universal, how did it attain a 'place of eminence'. As to whether this is a miracle, see my comment just above regarding emotions.
Quote: The unity of the Bible is one of the greatest evidences of its supernatural origin.
Unity, schmunity. Two different creation myths, and two different genealogies for Jesus - where's the unity? [NB: PLEASE don't trouble yourself trying to explain these two away. I've read every ad hoc explanation going, and they all fail utterly.

There are no accurate prophecies in the Bible. Not a single one.
I hope you had a happy Christmas.
