Yes there are several ways we now it to be truth. Do some deep Bible study I guarantee you will feel the same way.
How do you as a Christian not believe in the Bible? Or do you I am confused...
Well, I wasn't really saying what I believed or not ... I was asking you about yours because I was trying to understand how you are defining things. You disagreed with this statement:
Circular reasoning. The Bible is infallible because the Bible says so is a logical fallacy.
Where as I don't, but it could be because we are understanding "logic" differently, or "faith" differently, or "fact" differently .... by their definition, concept, and application. So to cut through a long discourse, I was trying to ask some "bottom line" questions so I could understand the basis of why you would think one thing about that statement and perhaps it's application, and I would think another :~). Maybe you've seen something I haven't that you could share that I'd be interested in, for example ... but I won't know what it is if we are defining things differently.
My neighbor claimed they saw a chupacabras in the neighborhood (this is a "mythical creature" if you don't know about it), my mother claimed she saw a wolf .... and they both reacted differently to it. My neighbor wanted to hide her small dogs and keep them from playing outside, and was concerned for her children. My mother was afraid of going outside at night ... told my kid about it, and from watching Scooby Doo he thought there was now a werewolf running around.
A few days later, I saw the thing going to work early in the morning. It was clearly a mangey coyote lol .... and I actually saw it for the next several months and it seemed to get better.
Everyone had proof and faith in the fact that my neighborhood had a werewolf/chupacabra/wolf in it. It was ridiculous to all of them to even question whether or not it was real. My neighbor friend pulled up on the internet the links about the chupacabras. "The chupacabras is real because the internet says it's real ... and I've experienced one with my own eyes."
I even played hide and seek with the thing one day ... chasing it from my back yard, to my front yard, to my back yard ... back and forth. I think it actually had fun doing it.
So sometimes I like to know what someone is *really* describing. Sometimes it's a simple thing, sometimes it isn't. I don't expect agreement all the time though, of course ... but I'm not looking for agreement. I'm looking to understand *you* ... :~)
I usually wont converse with someone with an obviously larger vocabulary then me because its too much work to sit with a dictionary to their mouth (as I always say).
Hello
