You were arguing that Christianity makes various claims about the Bible. Since the overwhelming majority of Christians do not make those claims, your argument was false.

Now, does Christianity argue that there are certain absolutes? Sure ~ but in the spiritual and moral sense.

"You were arguing that Christianity makes various claims about the Bible."

Yes, I am. This is undeniably true.

"Since the overwhelming majority of Christians do not make those claims, your argument was false."

The overwhelming majority of Christians do not make the claim that Jesus rose from the dead as redemption for our sins? Christians do not make the claim that there are moral absolutes? What bizarro world do you live in?

"Now, does Christianity argue that there are certain absolutes? Sure ~ but in the spiritual and moral sense."

And those absolutes are written down in the Bible, which they hold as objectively true. It can be argued whether it really IS objectively true; but to say that Christians don't claim it is objectively true is nonsense.

Subjectivism and postmodernism will be the death of a free republic.
