The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

[robvalue]

Would it be fair to say, Randy, that if you hold a pre-existing belief that the bible is the innerant word of God, that you're not in a position to view it objectively? I mean, you can literally never allow yourself to come to a conclusion that finds any sort of fault with it at all, let alone something as important as Jesus.

Why would you hold such a belief, when to us, before we've opened it, it's just a book like any other? I won't press you further if you're uncomfortable divulging this. I can be pretty sure this belief does not solely come from the bible, as you'd have to admit that would be entirely circular reasoning.

I think this would make for a much more interesting discussion. But I won't ask again, as you may simply not want to tell us, and I respect that.
