1st, to use the quote function properly, it is better to write your replies using the source mode.
There are two ways to accomplish this, one makes you press the rightmost button just above the "post new reply" text box every time you want to reply to someone. The other makes you delve into your user control panel's options (here's a link for your convenience> https://atheistforums.org/usercp.php?action=options) and activate the box that says "Put the editor in source mode by default" that you will find towards the bottom right.
I won't presume to speak for Vulcan, but do indulge us on how do you think the Bible came to be the collection of books that we see today?
Perhaps therein lies your lack of information that then informs all your subsequent beliefs.
There was a post of mine, some time ago (perhaps on another thread? can't remember) where I made a distinction between the Old Testament and the New Testament, with the caveat that many Christians mean New Testament when they say Bible. So... when you claim that the Bible is the inerrant word of god, which of these do you mean? Old, New or both?
If you include the Old Testament, does that make you a Young Earth Creationist?
