Why the Bible is Divinely Inspired (Why Not the Qu'ran)

Arguments for why the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the Qu'ran, well, not so much. Michael Gleghorn is a research guy with Probe Ministries, so he knows how to research and probe stuff, to figure out such things. And here's what he came up with , reasons why he thinks one can suppose that the Bible is indeed the divinely inspired Word of God: "First, the Bible claims to be an inspired text: 'All Scripture is inspired by God' (2 Tim. 3:16). This does not prove that it really is inspired. However, if the Bible nowhere claimed to be inspired, then we would hardly have good reason to believe that it was. Thus, what the text claims for itself is important. So you see? The Bible is most likely the inspired Word of God because it says so itself, right there in its own pages, and also nowhere does it mention that it is not , which is just as important, as the Probe dude points out. Furthermore, answering to the question why the Qu'ran can not also be a divinely...

Moonbat on Wingnut

Starting off with correlating those of us "moonbat liberals" who have dared put down Brit Hume's jabbering about Tiger Woods, to the Romans feeding Christians to lions in primeval times, Matt Barber's write-up gets even more absurdly off-point after that. Hume went on FOX asserting his own faith in Jesus Christ and continued on proselytizing that "the extent to which [Tiger Woods] can recover seems to me depends on his faith". Hume pontificating that Tiger the Buddhist really should do some rethinking and accept instead the forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith for so much of that extra sex. "Tiger," he said, "turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." Sure, after the comments were made we moonbats were pissed and said so, although I would hardly categorize it as Barber asserts "apoplectic" or with "unbridled hate". And not quite beca...

Maybe God and Allah Need to Talk

It amounted to a slap upside the head to Muslims everywhere when last month Switzerland voted on and with majority rule banned putting up any more minarets at the Muslim mosques there. Seems the Swiss Christian voters felt a bit disquieted about Islam being spread too much. The right-wing group that had drawn up the “Yes for a Ban on Minarets” referendum was gratified. “It’s fine to build minarets in a Muslim country, not in Switzerland. I’m strictly against that,” said one unemployed electrical fitter. Muslim groups not so happy. One of Egypt’s top Muslim clerics called the decision “an attempt to insult the feelings of the Muslim community in and outside of Switzerland.” In October, Muslims chucked stones at Christian workers in Egypt who were on the job to raise a steeple and add a bell to their Christian church. More recently in a Cairo suburb rioting began after Christians renovated a factory and held mass there. Rioters carried a banner that read “No to the church” and chante...
