Since I've already said I don't think the Bible is the perfect word of God, quoting scripture saying it is, won't be very effective.
Trust me on this, others have tried this with me. I have a very deep love for God. I live my life as a gift from Him. I believe in prayer (Though my prayers are for God to help me a better person, not to try to get God to do things.) I believe that I am put here to do good works.
But I read and studied the book very thoroughly and do not believe that God wrote it.
Oh sorry, I didn't understand, I thought you believed in the God of Christianity, the God of the Bible.
If God can throw galaxies around by the handfulls, you don't think it is possible for Him to preserve His unadulturated Word which He gave to Christ's bride, the church?
Christ is the Word made flesh. Does God allow His Word to become corrupt? What are the implications of that? I shudder to think! I guess now you can decide which passages you can keep and which you can toss if the difficulties in study Become too cumbersome? :(
