Bible Question (short): can we be sure the Bible is valid? |
Question (full): Hello all, I was wondering how and why the church at large has decided to use this scripture to apply to the whole of the Bible. And a larger question then arises, how can we be sure that the Bible we hold today is truly God's inspired word. I'm asking as a Christian man struggling with the validity of the book I have come to hold so dear. Thanks so much, -joe |
