Response to "Redeemed"
>"Evrything in "THE BIBLE" must be received by..."FAITH-ALONE"...with no "PROOF".
Why is that? Why can't there be proof? This seems like an extremely ridiculous notion to me. In other words, the Bible can say anything at all, and not matter how absurd or immoral it might seem, you will believe it.
Your willingness to believe anything does not lead you to truth. Consider the bumper sticker:
God said it.
I believe it.
That's final.
However, this is circular reasoning. What it is really saying ...
I believe God said it.
I believe it.
That is final.
However, you have no rational basis to know that God said it in the first place. How is your faith any better than any Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist? Because you are right and they are wrong? They would say the same thing about you.
Evidence is how you determine if something is true or not. Reason is the process of figuring that out.
Your reasoning starts with the notion that the Bible is true. That should be the conclusion and not the premise.
If you believe in an evil God who tortures people without mercy, and kills children, babies and pregnant women, then the Bible is the "good" book for you. If you accept these things without any thought whatsoever, then the Bible is the book for you. However, I don't believe these things. I think they are evil, therefor the Bible disproves itself.

Humans have faith that they will eventually explain all the immutable laws of the universe within the context of sensory limitations. Faith and logic coexist in human experience. Many brilliant minds profess faith in a spiritual quality to human life. As we strive to pick apart the rose of life, the rose is sacrificed.
