Dear Ann; Supposition is not useful to me. I to believed in God before I had ever read scripture. I had called upon him many times as a child but was never exposed to religion until I was saved at the age of 25. I simply challenged Yeshua to show himself to me and he did. As far as your question, it is hard to take you seriously, as you have admitted to having little interest in the Bible. If you were willing, it can be demonstrated that it has it's origin from outside of the dimension of time. It fore tells the history of so many nations, people, and events down to the most minute detail. Over 300 prophesies alone were fulfilled by Yeshua in his short life on earth. The day that Israel was returned to the land, and the day Jerusalem was returned to Israel were fore told to the day in the book of Daniel. For thousands of years women and men have tried to find any errors which would disprove it. If they were there it would be common knowledge. Christians are not fools. If you could show me one such mutually exclusive error I would begin to understand your position. Many people have arrived at faith in the scripture by simply trying to refute it. It is impossible to do as it was written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. If you would just open your mind it could be proven to you. This would not nullify your faith in God, only strengthen it. I would still believe in God as the evidence for creation is overwhelming, and the validity of Evolution is crumbling, even among Scientists. However, if you could show me anything in scripture that is demonstrably untrue, I would cease to follow it, and would be forced to ask God for another direction. This would be tantamount to proving that the earth is flat. It simply is round no matter what we think and the Bible is the inerrant word of God. You have said here before that the burden of proof is with the Christian, and I agree. Will you take the time to look at that proof rather that reject it based on what you have heard, and not what you have seen with your own eyes? I promise it will be anything but boring.
