Either you believe the bible is the truth, the Word of God or you do not. It reads Christ is in you, otherwise we would not know or understand those words.If the bible isn't your authority, then you will not believe what is in it.

You cannot separate his word from himself

You should take some advise from Jesus---Take the plank out of your own eye before you try to take the splinter out of mine.

Isn't the problem knowing which words are authentic? is the KJV more authentic than the Quoran? More valid than BOM? NWT?

there is no such thing as a fundamentalist. Do a key word search at bible gateway.

Yes I think that is an accurate message

I agree, and have pointed this out on the other side of the forum. In talking with some atheist I pointed out that many of them hold to the same extreme of fundamentalism that the christian and other religions do.
They have tried to tell me they are humanist, but to destroy the comfort millions have in a belief in God, to take away all hope just so people will believe as they do (that's fundamentalism, everyone must agree with me crap)is not a humanistic view it is a fundamental view.

What it boils down to is those who hold a extreme fundamental view and have fun pointing it out in others can't see that they also hold to an extreme fundamental view and are no better then those they make fun of.

how can you have a discussion if those who object to it keep coming in trolling?

I don't believe in other religions but I'd expect to be banned if I deliberately trolled their forum

And you deny what Jesus clearly taught. Are you smarter than He is?

It is a loving thing o tell others how to escape hell. It is an unloving thing to tell them hell does not exist.

Not really. All Bible translations have "enough truth" to get you saved if it is his will.

The Quoran wasn't written by over 40 authors spanning hundreds of years who all are peculiarlyin sync. The QUORAN is just a book.

No one can hold to all of the laws so the OT or the NT. That is why God provided a Savior to pay for our sins.
