yet when confronted with inconsistencies all you hear is that it is open to interpretation. I don't see how you can have it both ways.

I think its a little different when a book written by man is backed by actual facts and can be proven by experiment, rather than people just saying "I believe in it, so it must be true, and if you don't just accept without proof, you are a moron"

You have hit upon the 'fundamental' key to such facile arguments as those proposed by hard-line, dogmatic Christians. No matter what you say, or how you say it, if it goes against scripture --- YOU ARE WRONG!
That's why I seldom even try to make a point with them...
They fail to understand that The Bible is little more than a collection of imaginary causes and effects, and it distresses them intensely when you point it out to them.
My advice: Don't waste your breath on ignorant fanatics of any religion or belief.
"The Christian conception of God…- is one of the most corrupt conceptions of God arrived at on earth.: perhaps it even represents the low-water mark in the descending development of the God type. God degenerated to the contradiction of life, instead of being its transfiguration and eternal Yes! In God a declaration of hostility towards life, nature, the will to life! God the formula for every calumny of ‘this world’, for every lie about ‘the next world’! In God nothingness defied, the will to nothingness sanctified!..."

You can't have it both ways. However, there are no inconsistencies in the Bible. It has never been proven wrong but rather science and history have continued to prove it right more and more with each new discovery.

the Bible was written by many different people over a very long period and there are many contrasting ideas in it. So you could have it both ways. Just look in a different book of the Bible that agrees with what you're arguing.

How times have changed, for the better and for the worse.
What the bible conceals is still to be discovered. There is much encrypted within the bible, mythology and ancient eygptians that has absolute perfect relevance to scientific data, math and Christ.
To bring forward relevances to just one could be seen as just copying or researching what the bible speaks of, but to find them all connected by numbers energies and encrypted coding is too much of a coincidence.
I don't have it both ways, I have it all ways and so much more is to be shared like how all elements has relevance to all else, as it would of course.
From time, to electromagnetism to religion to ancient mythology, all shared as a puzzle, in pieces as given to me through my dreams...weird, but truth and it WILL get ya thinking if spend some time reading the chaotic theory being shared within my blog and my msn group.

Your right. I am an Evangelical Christian, but I don't argue from the Bible because if you don't accept the Bible as being factual then in your mind my argument is moot. I try to argue the truth first then once I've got the truth and you agree with whatever truth then I can go to the Bible. I shouldn't have given you this info should I have? God bless.

It's because we believe that the Bible is factual events that are as true and real as that of history textbooks you would read in school. I'm not sure what you mean about inconsistencies, but Christianity is a daily walk of faith and trust. I really like your curiosity.

why is it that all facts outside of the Bible are found in man written books that are more believable than the Bible? I guess that is open to interpretation huh?

I'm not sure of what inconsistencies you're talking about. I do believe the Holy Bible is 100% accurate though and if I'm wrong I've lost nothing, but for those who don't believe and don't accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, if they are wrong they've lost everything.

The bible cannot be used asfact, since it has been proven again and again that it is actually only stories written by men. there is about as much fact as the fact that mohammed actually teleported himself to jeruslahem

Because we believe the Bible is true. We believe it is God's Word. We believe that God's Word is alive. We hear and read God's Word from the Bible.
