accepting the Bible as his inspired book?
Since he is all powerful, it should be easy to believe the Bible.

Jackbaue - Your wrong. It is easy to find and know God. So easy in fact, it only requires childlike faith. God made it sooo easy for us!
And people are not going to hell in a hand basket, which you indicated that you believe is biblical. The Bible teaches that God is love. He is just. Period. So the eternal judgement of people by God will also be just and right.

Hey, a theoretically theological question! Say that five times fast.
So, if a person believed in an all powerful creator how could they have a problem accepting he/she inspired the bible?
Well that's easy, they couldn't have a problem with it.
Hey, next time maybe you should ask for people to give their OWN opinions, how would that be?

"Since he is all powerful, it should be easy to believe the Bible."
No, since he is all powerful and perfect, it should be easy to dismiss the Bible as something that was written by him.
Perfection's imperfect revelation:
The Bible is supposedly God's perfect Word. It contains instructions to humankind for avoiding the eternal fires of hell. How wonderful and kind of this God to provide us with this means of overcoming the problems for which he is ultimately responsible! The all-powerful God could have, by a mere act of will, eliminated all of the problems we humans must endure, but instead, in his infinite wisdom, he has opted to offer this indecipherable amalgam of books which is the Bible as a means for avoiding the hell which he has prepared for us. The perfect God has decided to reveal his wishes in this imperfect work, written in the imperfect language of imperfect man, translated, copied, interpreted, voted on, and related by imperfect man. No two men will ever agree what this perfect word of God is supposed to mean, since much of it is either self- contradictory, or obscured by enigmatic symbols. And yet the perfect God expects us imperfect humans to understand this paradoxical riddle using the imperfect minds with which he has equipped us. Surely the all-wise and all-powerful God would have known that it would have been better to reveal his perfect will directly to each of us, rather than to allow it to be debased and perverted by the imperfect language and botched interpretations of man.

...and the Bible says because of what Jesus did for us, there will be no need to tell our brothers and neighbors (other people) to 'know' God because the word of God is now imprinted in everyones mind and on their hearts....
So why is everyone still trying to get their interpretation of the Bible to other people? Just a question - I'm a believer myself.

Yes, I agree with you. He is all Powerful, and gives us this very power! We just have to believe that we have it! We can have victory over everything if we just believe it, He has given us all that we need.
I believe every word of the Scriptures, I know Who He is. I was a drug addict, He reached down and "pulled me out of the pit" as the Psalms say. He took me and turned me around and set my feet on a different path, I love it! He did things for me that I couldn't do for myself, yeah!
I love it when someone writes something positive about the Lord, you go Christian soldier!

You could believe in God but believe in another holy book to guide you and those of your faith. God has no limits....He could certainly "inspire" other books of wisdom and faith.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

interesting "logic" there. and yes it is easier to believe that. bible, "inspired" or not was written by men. these men later corrupted and twisted this "inspired" book to suit their own purposes. but whatever is easier for you swallow is your business.
