Oh, yes, those bloody Muslims! It's nice having someone who makes Christians look like moderates, isn't it? 😴
Needless to say, I do not agree with your assessment of the bible.

Originally posted by rwingettI am not merely trying to pick on Muslims, rather, I am making a point. There is a tendency to make the written word an idol over God.

Originally posted by rwingettMy beliefs are not entirely based upon what the Bible says. I have had other experiences that back up such beliefs. I suppose if I did not pursue a relationship with God and the written word was all I had, then it would be an idol.

Originally posted by whodeyI have not had experiences that many others have had that brings about confirmation of God or the bible. There are many that have testimonials and share them with others. Of course I tend to be pretty dense and things have happened but I was oblivious to them.
