If God ever had a hand in writing the Bible, His contribution has long since been papered over by generations of editors.

So you're saying it's functionally impossible refute your position?

As to Scripture not being the innerrant Word of God? I believe the evidence is on my side in that regard. The arguments that you and your fellows have put forth for the validity of the Bible as divinely-inspired would not convince a rational skeptic.

If God had a hand in writing the Bible, His contribution has long since been papered over by generations of editors.

Actually, the evidence, via manuscripts (Dead Sea scrolls 250 B.C.- 135 A.D., etc.), and writings of early New Testament church fathers demonstrate that the Bible has been remarkably, and accurately, preserved down through history.

The Dead Sea scrolls (100,000 pieces), and other manuscripts, confirm the accuracy of today's Old Testament.

In totality, there are about 6000 manuscripts that support today's Bible.

The New Testament can be almost totally reconstructed via historical documents that prove the New Testament's accuracy.

Your statement just is supported by the evidence.

Sorry papertyger and Junior...I shouldn't multi-task.

My post with the Dead Sea scrolls was intended for Junior.
