Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Thumpalumpacus]

You won't know about the payoff until you die.

That's the trick, you see.

The 123 is not the 'pay off.' The 123 if Having the Holy Spirit/God be a active part of your life.

Well, I don't know what form of Christianity you follow, but the one I was indoctrinated in asserted that the payoff in accepting Jesus into your heart and asking forgiveness for you sins was that you'd go to Heaven after you die.

I'm unsure of any benefit of having some "holy spirit" in my life while I'm alive, though -- at least, any benefit unique to such a belief.
