The Bible IS the explanation. If you reject that, you have rejected the primary means of knowing God for yourself.

No it's not. See my posts #386 and #402. To see things your way, I would have to accept the Bible as self-evident. Based on the several chunks I read, it is NOT - no more than any other work of fiction...or a copy of "Pro Wrestling Illustrated."

If you wish to believe that I, Dana Reeve, or anyone else is headed for an as-yet-unproven "hell" after they die for holding more proof-based standards of evidence than "the faithful," go right ahead.

I would say, you have never seriously considered the nature of the Bible, or the circumstances under which it was written, or the internal and external evidence for its authenticity as the Word of God.
