Alas, since you merely quoted the Bible, you have not supplied a reason for believing the Bible. You could find quotes in the Koran that support believing the Koran, and would they persuade you?

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
And why did you put JESUS in quotes?
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.Alas, since you merely quoted the Bible, you have not supplied a reason for believing the Bible.
Would they persuade you?Paul of Eugene OR said:You could find quotes in the Koran that support believing the Koran, and would they persuade you?
Poor AV does not get the point once again. This has to be deliberate.Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Would they persuade you?
If not, okay if they don't persuade me either?

Not necessarily. Consider this poster also proves the superiority of the King James over all other translations by showing how the other translations differ, sometimes, from the King James.
It is truly possible it is a complete blind spot for him. A tragedy.

Neither do I.I just told you I don't believe the Bible to be the word of man,
Neither do I.
It is the word of God.
Fair enough.Obviously, I didn't catch my error there. I don't believe the Bible to be the word of God. Please review my updated comment and respond. Thanks!
I wasn't trying to change your mind.I just told you I don't believe the Bible to be the word of god, why do you think a Bible quote would change my mind?
I believe "anything in the Bible" because I believe the Bible is the word of God.Why would anyone believe anything in the Bible?
Because I take It on faith. Faith that was generated and is now growing by reading It.Ajflyguy7 said:Why do you take the Bible to be an authority?
I have a negative view of science when science contradicts the Bible.Ajflyguy7 said:Why do you have a negative view of science?
No argument there.Ajflyguy7 said:Science continually increases our knowledge and improves our lives.
Religion can take a hike.Ajflyguy said:Religion is anti-knowledge and creates groups that hate those who are different from them.

Can you give me a specific example please?If the only things which could be taught were those which creationists deemed acceptable, America would go down the technological plughole,
Can you give me a specific example please?
There are ways around that argument that can keep America beautiful.When creationists need to explain away the fact that stars more than 6,000 light years distant are visible to us, they will typically try to suggest that the speed of light might not be constant.

You specifically asked this:
I believe "anything in the Bible" because I believe the Bible is the word of God.
WHY I believe the Bible is the word of God is another story altogether.
I was just answering your question.
Why do I believe Joe's phone number is 555-5555? because the phone book says it, and I believe the phone book to be the most authoritative document.
Because I take It on faith. Faith that was generated and is now growing by reading It.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I have a negative view of science when science contradicts the Bible.
I also have a negative view of science when science demoralizes our lives, (e.g., calling a "child in the womb" a "fetus"). Science is also proactive in its war on Christianity.
No argument there.
But when science goes up against Christianity, we should kick back.
Religion can take a hike.
Christianity isn't a religion: it is a relationship with Jesus Christ.
No argument there.
ETA: I asked you why you put JESUS in quotes.
It was made that way. God intended us to see the stars from the beginning and that's what happened. One of God's miracles is not greater than another; all are equally impossible.When creationists need to explain away the fact that stars more than 6,000 light years distant are visible to us, they will typically try to suggest that the speed of light might not be constant.
