Nope. Because an all-powerful and all-loving God that gives us an instruction manual for how He wants us to live, but allows that instruction manual to be corrupted is a deal breaker for me.
Yeah, now with the internet we can easily research this. But for thousands of years people were led astray because God didn't care enough to keep the one thing we really needed accurate.
lol, so this is your cop-out? Arguing from the past? No quoting scripture? No insisting that it is to be read a certain way?
You're waffling man, deal with "eternal" before you fill your posts with fluff, deflection and denial please.
