Excellent question!
I believe that if someone approaches the Bible with an open mind, asks questions, and listens to the arguments of informed apologists and skeptics, that they will come to the conclusion that the Bible is the Word of God.
I believe that a compelling case can be made that supports this conclusion. Obviously not everyone will reach the same conclusion as I have, but I think that everyone should endeavor to find out the answer for themselves.
Why do you believe that people will come to this conclusion? What is the compelling case?
I don't have a ton of time to get in to an involved Biblical debate, but I disagree with this statement. I spent several years in my Episcopal High School, studying and learning about the New and Old Testaments. I was taught the stories and history in great detail (although I admit I've forgotten many of the specifics over the subsequent years). I believe that the Bible has many interesting stories and parables. I believe that if more people lived by the Ten Commandments, the world would be a happier place (if not a bit less fun). But I also believe that the Bible is a work of MAN. Stories were written and compiled for numerous reasons over a long span of time. It's a work of "Historical Fiction", some stories may be true, some based on truth but embellished, and others completely fictional (with no good way of distinguishing the types). I find TREMENDOUS irony in an archbishop critizing an OBVIOUS work of fiction (DaVinchi), while his own Bible is filled with parables and obvious fictions that are passed on as "TRUTH".
OK folks, I've got my flame retardant, asbestos-lined suit on... FIRE AWAY!!! Just keep in mind, that I'm not an atheist liberal weenie.
