I guess that's as good an answer as I'll get...it just seems that I have to believe in the bible, to get any answers to questions of the bible.
Gotta go, I'll be back tomorrow.
I don't see why. Either the bible describes truth or it doesn't. I claim that it does and base my belief upon the evidence it describes, the evidence of my experience and the evidence of generations that have gone before me.
You apparently reject anything described by the bible as truth and dismiss any evidence from any source as being relative beliefs You further attribute that any truth is relative to other truths without realizing that there are absolutes and they are knowable.
