How do you view the bible?

[QUOTE][B]I think the bible should be regarded as one of the great works of literature.[/QUOTE][/B]Why? [QUOTE][B]Sure it has some neat things to live life by.[/QUOTE][/B]Contingent upon interpretation. But lots of other works have "neat things" in them. [QUOTE][B]I do not believe that there is any Christain who will take the bible literally or takes it seriously.[/QUOTE][/B]This premise is easily proven wrong. [QUOTE] The Answers in Genesis Statement of Faith [B]The Bible is the written Word of God. It is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs.[/QUOTE][/B]

ICR Tenets of Biblical Creationism The Bible, consisting of the thirty-nine canonical books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven canonical books of the New Testament, is the divinely-inspired revelation of the Creator to man. Its unique, plenary, verbal inspiration guarantees that these writings, as originally and miraculously given, are infallible and completely authoritative on all matters with which they deal, free from error of any sort, scientific and historical as well as moral and theological.

[QUOTE][B]Okay, so we have a religious organization that would state the bible is true. Big deal, what about the rest of the world.[/QUOTE][/B]You said that nobody out there believes the Bible is inerrant. You are proven wrong. I don't care about "The rest of the world" it is immaterial to your (erroneous) statement.

I would not believe in a biology book older than 20 years much less older than 100 years. If the bible were written when it said it was, then I have no faith in something that old. The amoung of truth that would still exist in it, would not be much compared to the amount of truth contained in a 100 year biology book[/QUOTE][/B]Send them an email saying that if you like, because it is a strawman as far as I'm concerned.

It's very simple.You said that no Christian believes the Bible is inerrant.I demonstrated that a bunch of them do.If they didn't this forum would not exist because there would be no YECs.
