WILLOWTREE,
I commend the work you are doing in standing up for truth and the Word of God. Unfortunately, however, I see very little hope that any of the critics will ever change. What they do not realize is God allowed the Bible to be written in such a way to test them...in a way so that it can be interpreted to contradict itself if they like. It only reveals the intents of their hearts.
Yes, the hatred eminated against the Bible (the world's most historical document) is seemingly supernatural. Just the fact that this malice exists only demonstrates that there IS a supernatural entity behind the Bible. It goes to show you that there is a war raging between good and evil--just watch atheists and critics--see how they get mad when it comes to the Bible and religion. If there was no supernatural entity behind the scriptures, there would be very little need to demonstrate their hate.
Satan rejoices when he can deceive man into thinking God is a liar. That is what Satan did to Eve...succeeded in making her think that God lied about the fruit. Look where it brought the human race. Now, once again, Satan is succeeding with these poor souls who have no glimpse whatsoever that they are falling for the enemy's snares, deceptions, and sophistries.
