And how do you know it's true? Because you choose to believe it is? Do you believe something is true because you believe it it?
Apparently, you'd only consider that God revealed the truth in the Bible if it lined up with what you already believe about the world and how it works.
Isn't that how it works for those who believe the Bible?
Since it doesn't, you therefore label it as not true
No, I just don't believe the tall tales about talking donkeys, people living inside a belly of a fish for three days, people being cured by passing shadows, or raised from the dead, simply because some book says it happened. It just doesn't happen in this world. When and if it happens then I may reconsider, along with flying saucers...or pink unicorns on Jupiter.
Of course there’s no reason to expect them to happen in the natural world, that’s why they’re called miracles.
But miracles still do happen, even today, and if you don’t believe that, it’s because you choose to deny it, not because there isn’t plenty of evidence that they really happen.
You’re right that believing that they are true is a matter of choice, as is believing that they couldn’t or didn’t happen. However, your denial of them doesn’t make them untrue.
Luke 16: 27-31 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
“Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’
” ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ “
But it has.
We will always end up at Jesus Christ. He is either who He said He was or He isn't. He proved it for us, or He didn't.
I think more than enough objective evidence is there.
Nature reveals a design. You argue that doesn't mean the designer is God, but the truth of Scripture tells us it is God. The only avenue left is to question the veracity of Scripture, but we are given evidence of it's truthfulness with the fulfillment of prophesy, supernatural events and most importantly Jesus Christ.
