I can defend the Bible, but Christianity needs to be given excuses.

On beginning this thread, I'd like to gather some opinions on the accuracy of the bible which some claim can be "defended."

I don't want to create a survey, but do some posters have reasoned arguments for or against defense of the Bible that they are willing to share?

Does God's existence depend entirely on the complete accuracy and infallibility of the Bible?

Here is my answer, it hasn't changed.

It's Tuesday, September 19th, 2017, and so.....? Look at it as another opportunity to refine your arguments.

I can see why you are reluctant to answer here. Still, if you could distill your answer to a few lines for this thread it would give us something to work with, and bat it about.

Let's not hide behind links.

If you refine the question, I will consider refining the answer. From what I see you are asking the same thing you asked a year ago, with no "refinements"; why then do you think my answer requires any? As I said, my position is the same.

If I change my mind in this regard, I'll be sure to let you know.

I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking, I was just asking apart from the vatican website, is there a website (perhaps one that contains the universal caticism) that one can go to for authoritive (official) catholic teachings.

I am not challenging anything you said at all, I'm just asking since you seem to know a bit about the Catholic faith.

RESPONSE: There are many websites for this but this one seems the easiest to use.

ccc.usccb.org/flipbooks/catechism/index.html

You will notice extensive footnotes referencing other documents. These documents are usually also on the internet.
