I asked this of Christians and couldn't seem to get an honest answer.
Am I correct in assuming that to the Christian, knowledge found outside the Christian Bible is only permissible if it doesn't contradict scripture?

Only for the fundies. Gotta respect people who can pick and choose their scripture like that. So messed up!

I am a Christian. Lets see Knowledge found outside the Bible is only permissible if it doesn't contradict scripture.
Hos 4:6 (NIV) My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
So its not if the knowledge contradicts the Bible. Its the fact that God's knowledge and wisdom is sufficient while mans is not.

I'm not an atheist. You are right, some people believe that. However I, personally, have found nothing that disagrees with scripture...

Well, I think that depends on which of the thousands of Christian sects you are talking about. Generally yes, for the more fundamentalist of them

You would be correct. However, the bible is interpreted by each of them differently and all bibles aren't created equally.

Pretty much so. Depends on the Xian, of course; some don't take it as literally as others.

Is it safe to assume that Atheists are the pros at asking the same questions over and over again cept use different words to try and sound smarter than they actually are?

Yes, because if it isn't the words of a "perfect" god then why even bother looking at it?
