In another thread simple made the following declarations.
The bible says God is a spirit. That I take as a clue. The angels are spirits, that also I take as a clue. We have spirits, and go there when we die, another clue. Need more??????
That might sound good to you, except that the bible says there really are spirits, a flying throne, and a Christmas star. You have presented no science or bible against these things. Now, before you lecture on reason, remember you got nothin!
I am willing to take the masochistic route here and debate the notion that the bible is the word of god as simple seems to assume.
My question requires that simple clarify for us how he knows that the bible is the word of God.
Of course the bible:accuracy and inerrancy is where this topic should go.
Edited by sidelined, : No reason given.

God does not exist until there is proof he does.

I'll take care of this one if no one else wants it, but I don't usually handle religious topics. Any takers from the moderator team out there?

We just closed "The Bible was NOT man made, it was Godly made" thread.
You may want to scan through and note how it ended and see if you really want to open that can of worms so soon.
Simple didn't participate much.
You've provided a question, but haven't really provided your position which seems to hinge on whether Simple provides it for you should he decide to participate.
Given the thread that just closed, do you feel this is a strong start for a new one?
Let me know.

If simple agrees I'd suggest a Great Debate. It probably won't be "great" but with only two participants it should be a bit less of a mess.
