This is NOT a trick question.
Answer: A. Yes. The men who wrote the Bible were inspired by God. He used them as "pens" to write His Word to humanity.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHaving been educated by Salesians, I am perfectly aware of the contents of the book. You haven't justified the statement that it was influenced by anything other than the intentions of the writers.

Originally posted by acb123i do not need to qualify the statement, for if you have evaluated the text, you will know what parts are considered to be inspired, and why, and thus you shall produce the relevant arguments to state your case.

Originally posted by acb123actually if you can show where anyone else has used this so called cliché i for one would be much obliged, for it was borne from my own mind, as for debating technique, you produce a statement, when asked to substantiate it, you resort to the usual subterfuge and produce a big fat centre of a doughnut. next time you make an assertion, make sure it has content!
