As i have asked in other posts, how can we take the bible as fact? It is a fact that the bible has been changed many many times over the years, and there are many diffrent versions of the bible. If you were to take the bible into a court of law and try to use it as evidence it would be thrown out, as it can be shown that the bible has been tampered with. So again I will state the burden of proof falls to the initial claim that the bible is a factual. Untill you can prove to me that the bible is completly true (which is impossible to do) any and all claims that the bible is proof of anything holds no weight in a debate.

w_fortenberry,
Since you use the bible to answer questions and quote verses, it is resonable to ask how correct these passages are, so the fact that this thread was started to seek answers one must ask if the answers being given are in fact true. In order for one to obtain the answers they are seeking, and I too am looking, one must find out if the sources are in fact reliable. So this is why this post is on this thread. Again I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me how credible these answers you are giving are. Sorry if I had steped in on the thread, but if you two did not wish input from others then you probably should have emailed each other and not used a public board for this. At this time I dont wish to argue the burden of proof, it wont get either of us anywhere, but the reliability of your sources must be adressed if you are going to quote from the bible and use it as fact.
I just hope you understand why I am questioning, for if the sources you are using to answer the questions is unreliable then the answers are useless. If your not prepared to defend your sources then maybe you should stop posting answers, and if you are prepared, I would be greatly interested in hearing them. I hope the both of us can increase our knowledge of the subject, this is why I asked the question, not to irritate, but to be educated. You seem like an intelligent person, and so far not a single person I have asked have given me any satisfactory answers, and I was hoping maybe you could.
