"It is not difficult to accept the possibility, there's just no Scriptural evidence for it. Our faith should be based on the Bible."

There's your first problem. The bible is a touchstone for our faith. It is not the foundation of our faith. Christ, his life, death and resurrection is the foundation of our faith. The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her lord. The bible did not come before faith. Jesus and his disciples came before the bible and the bible wasn't even the whole story and attests to that fact itself.

***Christ, his life, death and resurrection is the foundation of our faith.***

And what do you know of these that you didn't learn from the Bible???




***The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her lord.***

And you know with accuracy what Jesus said, did and expects of you from the Bible



***The bible did not come before faith. Jesus and his disciples came before the bible ***

Two words - Old Testament. (thought Jesus, of course, has always existed)



***the bible wasn't even the whole story and attests to that fact itself.***

Yes, but it is enough! - enough to bring you to salvation and to equip you to live a life pleasing to God.
