Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[genkaus]

Men like Mohamad and Joseph Smith thought they could, and have failed.

If you can't legitimize holy spirit without the bible and you use the holy spirit to legitimize the bible, then you are guilty of circular reasoning. Which means, neither your bible nor your holy spirit can be regarded as legitimate.

What else you got?

Be patient, there is a great judgement comming.

Got an ETA on that? Unless we hear from him, your testimony is regarded as hearsay and thus discarded.

For what reason? We have all been given this oppertunity. If you want a direct line then go through the step yourself. Because no matter what I say or do it will be explained away. There is no better proof of God than God Himself.

You claim you have a direct line. I don't believe you. Thus, the burden of proof is on you. If you can't prove it, stop making those dumb claims.

Maybe you simply do not understand the meaning or depths of the gifts being offered.

Nope - just don't consider them worth the price. Especially when I can get the same things much cheaper elsewhere.

I grew up in a buddhist household and I can most assuredly tell you that buddhist have thier share of the self righteous in abundance. This is not limited to Christianity.

Never said they didn't - but they have it to a much lesser degree than you Christians and they have more of the other qualities. As bargains go, they got the better of it.

How would a fool identify wisdom? If a fool sourrounds himself with foolishness, then foolishness becomes wisdom, and wisdom foolishness. So again what methods or steps have you taken to ensure that you are not blinded by the potential foolishness you have sourrounded yourself by?

Application of critical thinking - a concept foreign to you.

Actually I have people who I employ who manage (among other things) my grammer in any formal written work I do. What I do here is not considered 'formal.'

Try asking your god for help. Or is your grammar beyond his power as well?
