First, I know there are similar questions about this - but I thought I'd ask it again and attempt to filter out the illogical answers.
For the purposes of this question I am assuming a god exists.
The answers to previous questions seem to have come under a few basic categories
1) "God doesn't lie"
2) "God doesn't lie because the bible says so"
3) "God is perfect, so he doesn't lie"
4) "Read the bible and find out for yourself"
My responses to these are as follows
1) Any reason why you think that?
2) The bible is gods word. He is just telling you he doesn't lie. A liar would say the same thing.
3) God is only perfect according to the bible, which is gods word. So see (2)
4) I have read the bible, but I don't see why I should trust the claims god makes for himself regarding his trustworthiness.
Finally, don't threaten me with hell because I am a "non-believer". It's pointless, I don't believe Hell exists, and it confirms christianity is a religion based on fear of punishment.
