Yep ^
The Bible is not evidence, it is the claim.
Using the claim as evidence for the claim is, say it with me folks, "circular reasoning".
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
