This is a mouthful.

So every single person who was born into indigenous tribes around the world before the Europeans showed up wanted to go to Hell? That seems to be the implication here.

Excellent. Thank you.

7. The Bible is filled with errors.

I think people get the infallibility of the versions of the Bible as written down by the inspired-by-God authors mixed with the falllibility of the english versions of the Bible we have today (KJV/NIV). I think the Muslims have it right, they explicitly claim that the Koran is only God-inspired in the original Arabic--English translations are free game.

Waiting for a saviour who will never return is like watching the water recede before one's very eyes and hoping that you will discover sunken treasure on the wet sand in front of you.

Pointless, dangerous, futile, stupid and sad.

There are hypocrites in all walks of life, just look at Washington DC for instance. I think trying to answer these sorts of questions is an exercise of futility. Those who ask them are generally so anti God that only He could turn them around. Mostly they are making excuses for their own bad behavior.

My objection to muslims is, "they are out to kill all of us".

Of course these responses are not intended for a non-Christian audience, but for any Christians who might find the objections interesting or difficult.

Regardless of the kind of difficulty found, not a single irreconcilable error can be found in the Bible's pages.

Piffle. Try reconciling these. This is, of course, the simplest and strongest criticism of Christianity--because it relies entirely on Christian scriptures.

Never hit on my only question: Show me that Jesus was real, show me he was divine, show me that the miracles actually took place and it's not just a bunch of hooey and tall tales that got passed down.

[MonroeDNA]

This reads like a post from "Ask the Imam."

[Aquinasfan]

Some quibbles, but overall these are good and useful explanations.

Regardless of the kind of difficulty found, not a single irreconcilable error can be found in the Bible's pages.

That's not really true. There are many inconsistencies in the Bible - the usual explanation is something like what was written later corrects an earlier mistake. Or require convuluted explanations that defy logic. Or if there is conflict with science, the conflict is ignored or science is wrong. And the old standby is that the Bible is right because the Bible says so.

Don't get me wrong, I worship God and take great comfort in the Bible. I believe that parts are divinely inspired but not always accurate. Man is incapable of fully comprehending the Divine.

"God didn't create evil."

You are wrong, there, brother. God created everything, even evil. In fact, He is the only one who can truly create in the sense of causing something to come out of nothing. Which is the highest form of creation. If God did not create everything - including evil - He would not be God, right? Someone else would be God.
