Can a math professor explain anything in math without referring to notes? Can a doctor explain anything unless he's had training involving books, notes, etc. Can any person well versed in his subject be able to explain anything without having had access to written material? How can a Christian explain anything without reference to or quoting from the Bible - or must he/she use a mechanic's handbook, or a book on gardening, or any written reference, except the Bible? Can you tell me a way for a Christian to explain something without reference to the Bible? (And the silence from the questioner was deafening, and to be expected).

The Bible is the source of authority for Christians.

I think I can, I know the Bible quite well. Maybe I can't like quote it perfectly and tell you what book, chapter and verse the thing I'm telling you is at but I know God's word good enough to answer any doubts you have.

If a Christian explains their faith without use of the Bible they aren't expressing God's views but their own. The whole point to serving God is to do it with His will and His thoughts. So, no, a Christisn can't do that.

It is the platform of their beliefs so I'd say not - if I'm interpreting your question correctly. It's kind of hanging in mid-air...did you fall asleep before finishing it?
I can't help but notice some Christians pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to follow though.....

yes they can, some things are just common sense, while others you just have to see that the Bible explains it all.

Yes. I am having trouble, however, explaining why people who have religion get under your skin so much. Why don't you try the "Live and let live" principle and leave us alone.

they can to the extent of how it relates to what they already know to be true, otherwise you need to decide for yourself what to believe. When you have a closed mind to christainity, you will remain ignorant in your shoes!
