How Can Christians Still Believe??

[YahwehIsTheWay]

Why not?

I believe that God inspired the prophets and other writers, but they weren't forced. Relationship with God is based on free will. God shows himself to people, while they experience that revelation on different ways. That's what the Bible is: a book that shows how different people on different ways saw God, in time completely different than ours.

That's why i said that the Bible is divine and human at the same time.

If the Bible is part human and part Divine, how do you propose we should tell which is which? Is the prohibition against homosexuality just human prejudice or divine will? Is the story of Genesis an account of what happened or just a fanciful tale by primitive people? Is the story of Jesus a real biography or was he just a man who was only said to have performed miracles?

How can we know the answers to any of these questions if we admit the only resource we have is an unreliable source of information?

Also, what is the purpose of divine revelation if the revelation couldn't be clear? Sending prophets a message is moot if the message isn't properly conveyed.

Finally, the dangers of a false positive on divine revelation is such that the careful side is to ignore the claim rather than follow it.

That's why I'm a True Christian ™ and believe ALL of the Bible, including the parts about stoning disobedient children and beating slaves. You can't treat divine revelation like a buffet table. Otherwise, you may as well drop the pretense and just create your own religion.
