Nope. By the Word of God, which the Bible is.

Good. I thought for a moment there that we would have to count heads to agree on what is true.

As a matter of fact, I agree with you that the Bible is the word of God. Can you tell me why you believe it?

“Can you tell me why you believe it?”

2 Timothy 3:15-17

For starters.

I think it’s interesting that many here believe the bible to be the word of God (& the only word of God) yet seemingly only to the extent that it meets their interpretation thereof.

The bible is replete w/ scriptures that implore the reader to ask the Lord for answers. The reader is also told that those answers will come by the Holy Ghost. And yet, seemingly, there are those here that refuse to receive those answers as instructed by the Lord through the scriptures.

Even though the Lord says they can & will receive those answers, they feel the need to determine those things on their own. Some mockingly ask how one receives answers from the Holy Ghost. If all answers are found in the bible, wouldn’t they find that answer there? The Lord tells us to ask & we will receive. Would He tell us to do that w/o telling us how to do it? I appreciate them asking us, but they don’t know the answers from the bible? It’s quite perplexing to me.

A book w/ all the answers & yet so many questions. I can understand the perplexity about the contradictory answers found therein, but most are pretty clear cut. I can’t even imagine putting all my eggs in the basket of basing my beliefs on what “wise” men have told me to believe. Why not go to the author of all this & avoid all the confusion as the Lord has instructed? Although some claim to believe in all the bible, they refuse that instruction. Baffling.
