Übergeek 바둑이: Read the Naked Gospel and you'll know what I believe. Much of what we were taught in our earlier years was due to the cultural of the church at that time. Give em fire and brimstone etc. There are many church teachings that aren't biblical. Tradition sometimes trumps truth. That's why we must do our own digging and like the Bereans, we check the Scriptures for ourselves.

If the Bible is true, than no other "holy book" can be true. The Koran can't be true if the Bible is true and vice versa. You can't have two competing truth claims and accept them both as true.

The Bible is the revealed Word of God. It's his Word to us. If we believe what the Bible says, it's not "our belief" that matters but what matters is the TRUTH of that in which we believe. If I believe in something that isn't true, my belief isn't what matters. What matters is the reality that what I believe isn't in fact true. So what really matters isn't belief, but TRUTH. I don't mean the kind of "truth" that one finds in a post-modern system. Relativism is self refuting and illogical. However, objective truth makes complete logical sense and in spite of fancy arguments to the contrary, we live by a firm adherence to objective truth.

It make little sense that God's Revealed Word would be found in a multitude of way if those differing ways are contradictory. Something cannot be A and non-A at the same time and in the same way. So IF the Bible is God's Word to us, that all other truth claims must be rejected if they contradict the Bible's revealed TRUTH. In the same way, if the Koran is true, then the Bible is false. They can both be false, but they can't both be true.
