I've often wondered this of those who believe things contrary to the Scriptures. How do you decide what to believe or no to believe? Do you reject an ax head floating on water? How about the son of God walking on the water. Is He not heavier than an ax head? Did God create the world? If so, would He lie to us about how He did it? Is He capable of creating the universe but only in the way YOU think he did it?
There are 333 miracles in the Bible. By definition, miracles are things which are not possible in the natural world. How does a person who classifies himself as a Christian accept certain miracles and reject others when they are all equally impossible? With what criteria do we weigh the word of God and decided for ourselves what is true and what is fiction? If the Bible is not the word of God, then what it is and why should we give it any attention whatever?
Nobody seems willing to take on this topic when I've asked them, so let's see what happens when the the thread centers on this one very important question; What do you accept, what do you reject and why?
