If Xianity viewed the bible in the same way Islam did (which is to say,
every jot and jittle is from god...grammar and all) and if Xianity was
only the Bible, maybe some of what is being said here would have more
validity. But Xianity is, and has always been, more than the Bible. It
is also the living witness' and testimonies of millions from Jesus time
until today. It is their relationships, past, current and future that
speak to the Who, the What and much more of God. Great minds and no
minds - many have known God and know God.
The Bible is important as is consistency and veracity within the Bible.
But it is the lives of the Saints that speak to its Truth far more than
its own written words.
