So which one do you believe is the correct method for Bible study?

And why?

Religion requires belief, belief is subjective, therefore religion is subjective. There's no such animal as objective religion.

His answer is, "What I say, not what they say."

I just wish he'd come out with it and stop beating around the bush. One who has the courage of his own convictions shouldn't be afraid of expounding them both generally and specifically.

None of the miracles in the Bible were subjective. They were all "on the ground" and "in your face". When Moses spoke to the burning bush and received the tablets from God, there wasn't much room for him to say, "No, that didn't happen just now."

How do you know any of the miracles happened? You don't, of course, you may believe that they happened, but belief is subjective.

Your belief that these events actually happened - as written down by Hebrews decades, centuries and even millenia after they supposedly took place - is entirely within the realm of your personal subjectivity.

divegeester has been demonstrating the "courage of his own convictions" and "expounding them both generally and specifically" for over a decade. Have you not been reading his posts?

Do you think this assertion also applies, objectively, to all miracles as recorded by all religions throughout all human history?
