He's asking you a serious question, one which you appear to be afraid to face: How do you know that the Bible is what you think it is? How do you know it's the Word of the Lord? Who told you so?

The Mormons claim that their books are authenticated by a "burning feeling in the heart" when they read it.

The mohammedans claim that mohammed took dictation from "allah", called it the Q'uran, and gave it to them, thus authenticating it.

Upon what authority do you accept the Bible as Scripture, and why is that authority any better than the Mormons' or mohammedans' authority?

I believe it is the Word of God with childlike faith.
