How do you know? From the Bible?

The Bible describes these events, and as a Christian I do believe the Bible. However, I think the philosophical Moral Argument, while not without its problems, is quite compelling.

For instance if someone is drowing and you can help, you know you should, but why? Perhaps it is a "herd instict" that tells you to help, but what is the "voice" in your head that tell you it is right to help and wrong to let the person drown. The "voice," your conscience, is not the herd instict, but something different because it does not force you to help, it just tells you that the should because it right

My reading of the article indicates the author :
1) Probably isn't Christian.
2) Doesn't understand the meaning or experience of the spirit.
3) Has scarred his soul to the point that Scripture is either foolishness or simply a 'comparative religion'.
4) Observes many people recognize the Bible and he places more faith on his own ability to reason in humanist terms than on the object of faith in God. He is blind to the subject because he doesn't see it, although he attempts to rationalize the behavior of those who have seen the light, by rationalizing it in worldly terms.

Your query is pertinent in ref to the soul.
