How Do We Know If The Bible Is True?

[Dedicated Mind]

Just started reading C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity. He talks about the universal innate moral law and a great universal mind that informs the law. I haven't yet gotten to his reasoning for a personal God or for christianity. A moral law or even a God doesn't mean the bible is true. How do we know the bible is true, beyond it's claims?

(I plan to buy and read Beyond Opinion by Ravi Zacharias that may deal with this issue)

We can't. It's based on faith and belief. For example, do I *KNOW* that God's Son was crucified on a cross, dead for three days and then ascended to His God and Father after He was resurrected? I believe it, I stake my life on it, I live my life according to it, but it's all a faith walk. I feel Him and talk to Him and He talks to me, but I cannot prove that to anyone else, it's only really true for me.
