Non-Circular reasons for believing in the Bible.

[help3434]

I often see people quote Bible verses about scripture when asked why they believe in the Bible. Of course arguing that the Bible is true because the Bible says it is true is circular. Are there any non-circular reasons for believing in the Bible?

Well there is a way for escaping, but you gotta have the faith to use it.

We were asking for non-circular reasons to believe the message in the Bible. If you first believe the Bible by faith, then it will be true, is about as circular as it gets.

I was dead for billions of years and it didn't seem to bother me at all so when I'm dead again I suspect I'll tolerate it.

I think it actually does the Bible an injustice to read it as literally true. People find themselves in the position of either accepting it or rejecting it. I think that's a shame.

Yes I expect so. Do you actually have a point you wish to make?

More like to dirt.. depends on how moist. This was true for all time , long time before there was civilization or formalized religion.

Do you have a point?

Stay dead then. Liner progress is into the dirt isn't it?

Sure, but you said you have a remedy. Will you personally back it up? Will you promise it works?
