I'm posting this thread with an [OPEN] tag on it so that those not apart of the RM fellowship can discuss here without breaking any rules.
I'd like to hear why you guys think we should believe what the Bible says, or why we shouldn't.
Some have said that only the words of Jesus should be taken seriously, while others should be ignored.
Here is part of a discussion I hard with InDeo in another thread that caused me to post this thread (his original posts were deleted because he's not apart of the RM):

Wow ...
Paul isolated himself? Paul is the main person God used to introduce the gentile world (you and I) to the gospel, and he didn't do that by isolating himself.
Paul wasn't in touch with the Spirit? Paul's work resulted millions and millions of people coming into a relationship with Christ!
3 questions for you:
1) Why do you say these things about Paul?
2) What is your view of the Bible?
3) Are you a truth seeker?
EDIT: Ok, so the post I was responding to by InDeoHonorium was deleted. I'd still like to hear his response either here on in PM as to why Paul's writings shouldn't be viewed as from God or as Scripture.
Just to clarify what Paul is talking about when he says "yoked together," he is not saying "don't talk to sinners" or "don't befriend a lost person." He is saying "be wise in who you choose to be best buddies with," and I believe the context of the phrase "yoked together" from 2 Corinthians is certainly applicable to a romantic relationship.
Consider who Jesus was best buddies with. Sure, he was a friend to sinners, but he was best friends with repentant sinners (Peter, James, and John) - not idolaters!
I hope that my failing to clarify that in my original post isn't what caused you to say what you said.
