The bible was written by man, man can be influenced by the devil.
How do we know that the word of bible is pure?

That is the point, you either accept God is true and watches over His
Word or you don't. Which again is still is God true. God does watch
over His Word He does not watch over ours or the devils to preform
those, if you see a lie so be it, note it and move on.

Maybe I should have said indisputably lies?
Originally posted by Thequ1ckThey may not have done so, but I am sure they can. The answer is faith. Some Christians are skeptical about it to varying degrees but to be a Christian one must at least have some faith that at least certain parts are either factual or spiritually meaningful. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian believes in the resurrection being factual for example.
It's amazing that the bible is at the core to Christian religion but
not a single person is able to explain to me how its word can be
trusted.

Not everyone who claims to be a Christian believes in the resurrection being factual for example. of God on that one verse. They believe it first then use that verse to justify their belief.
Originally posted by Thequ1ckA significant proportion of Christians - or infact members of any religion - are the children of parents who are members of that religion. They start by believing what their parents tell them which in the case of Christians often includes the claim that the Bible is to be trusted at least in part. Only as the child grows older does he/she begin to question such things.
Thanks Twitehead, that makes some kind of sense in a weird way.
So it could be said that a new Christian requires 'faith' before he/she
is indoctrined into Christianity? Otherwise their faith is based on the word
of scripture and/or the faith of others, which is not true faith.
How often does this happen I wonder.
What is that emotion called when somebody has faith without knowledge
of religion?
