The B-I-B-L-E, that's the word for me...
Aug. 26th, 2003 10:18 pmmmmm... random bible verses. Yummy.
A question though,
Why believe in the Bible? After all, didn't humans write the bible? And if humans are imperfect, then therefore, shouldn't the bible be imperfect as well? Also, the bible is called the word of God. How can it be the word of God if God himself did not write it? Is he or she bored enough to reach down into the pens of these mortal lives to write down stories and sayings?
Certainly, I believe there is a God, but I don't think I can call myself a Christian. Or maybe I can, but just in the very loose sense, if that is possible.
