RD, Christianity is what it is because of one man. That man has been proven with pretty good certainty to have existed. That man died, was buried and was resurrected. We have quite authentic documents to support that. Other than that, what do you want? Christianity does not rest on my proving to you the existence of God or the vailidity of His word. Those are
YOUR demands. I don't agree that faith depends on knowledge, other than the knowledge about the man I just wrote about.
Now, your thread is about the Bible. I believe the Bible because I think it has been proven to be authentic, as authentic (or moreso) than any other ancient document. Out of that document, I have experienced the words on the pages.
