When YOU are holding the book it is a personal, faith type thing that makes the book true.Again you have been argueing the same tired stuff so long you do not see anything else. Take to time to read what is written rather than assume i am give you what you think a christian response should be.
I am saying there are very specific promises laid out in scripture for the believer. The next thing i said was I full fill the requirement for the believer and everything promised was given to me.
In short I tested the word of God against what I experienced, and the word was proven to be true. i got what was promised. Because I got and continue to receive what the scripture promises The book rings true in EVERY Aspect of My life.
There is no blind faith here. Faith was bought at the price of years of heavey scrutiny and challenges. That is apart of the reason I am here. to return some of what I was given.
Quote:But when I am holding the book you need evidence and proof. You still haven't answered my question: Why is it that you require proof from me or other religions and not from your own. I'm just asking for a simple straight direct answer.Which has been answered twice now.
Religious people of every faith make that same argument from personal experience. They then use that to justify the truth of their books and beliefs. They are literally making the same arguments as you. You demand evidence from them but demand that we accept your beliefs on your arguments of faith. It is the question you still have not answered. Why don't you believe someone who is claiming to have had the exact same experience as you just in another religion?
