A Believer (B) is trying to save Someone (S):
S-how do I know there's a God, heaven, Jesus, etc.
B-the Bible tells us so.
S-the Bible says a lot of things. Why should I believe the Bible?
B-the Bible says that the Bible was inspired by God, IS the word of God, and that every word is true. (quotes scripture to prove point.)
S-so the Bible says that the Bible is true?
B-correct, and it also says that belief in...is the only way to get to heaven. (quotes more scripture)
S-so, I can't get to heaven unless I believe in what the Bible says, and the Bible is 'fact' because it says it was basically written by God, and it also says that God is never wrong...and that proves that it is true?
B-yes, the Bible is very clear about this.
S-and if I don't believe?
B-you go to hell. The Bible is very clear about that too.
Doesn't anyone see the problem with this? This double-think works on 4 year olds, but I'd like to hear from grown-up believers. Why do you take this at face value?
