I would like to ask you a Simple question, maybe you've heard it before. The Bible is the primary source of Christian knowledge, some Christians take it literally, others don't, some pick and choose.
But what gives it its authority?
It seems to me that the authority of the Bible is given by itself, which makes no sense to me. It says it's the word of God, therefore it is? I don't understand how it is given more weight than other religious texts from other religions.
Does Bible have a weight in our life?
It is the easiest of things to change a book, add and substract from it, in the course of 2000 years; specially a book about God. With such a popular religion like Islam (maybe 5 times as much Muslims as Americans) one has to re-consider the authenticity of the Bible.
