I have a question for you rjh4. I apologize for not being more active in this thread, but theVOID kinda took over and in responding to you and I felt I had nothing more to add.
Anyway, my question is this:
You come across as a person who despite several flaws in reasoning (in my view), at least has an understanding of objective truths / logical foundations. As you have demonstrated (and I agree with you), observation / science is no way of knowing objective truths. Everything we observe or experience is subjective, since it requires us to interpret at some point.
However, you also have stated previously that the Bible is an objective truth, as it is God's word. My question is how reading the Bible to obtain truth isn't a subjective action (since reading the words requires both interpretation of the language as well as of the meaning), and how you can objectively state that the Bible is the word of God, and therefore objective, without resorting to assumptions and subjectivity?
