Sorry, the Bible was written by human beings UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. That's what makes it God's word.
And your understanding of it is still filtered by your "fallen" intellect.
You can't have it both ways. No matter how TRUE the Bible is, your discernment of its truth is no better than anybody else's.
Sorry, you are wrong. As I keep saying, the ability to believe the Bible is the word of God is a supernatural gift from God that overrides the fallen intellect. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and the ability to discern this is given to those who believe in it.
Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Re: Science means knowledge, period.
The sensible reason to believe it is that it would benefit you greatly if you did. But since you don't have the gift of discernment I guess you can just go on refusing to believe it and forego the benefit. Your choice.

Uh huh. Well, if you can't see it you can't see it.

Re: Science means knowledge, period.
Being regenerated, born again, means to have your spiritual faculty "quickened" as the KJV puts it, or brought to life, the spiritual faculty that was lost to Adam and Eve at the Fall. That's the connection to the things of God that the fallen nature lacks. It makes possible the faith that saves and the faith that recognizes God's word. We're going to drag around the fallen flesh to death nevertheless, but we do have this regenerated spirit that unbelievers don't have.
