Those who are not "born again" in the Spirit can not discern God's truth as given to us in the Holy Bible. To them, it's just a book.
I find this a convenient "out." In other words, if we see contradictions and blatant errors in Scripture it's because we aren't one of the "chosen few" who've "had our eyes opened." Independent, objective verification then becomes a tool of the devil. Screw rationalism; one simply needs to believe to make it all better.
Once again, can you not see why I've begun to consider organized religion a confidence game?
