~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You say you have many doubts about the Bible. But how have you decided that the book was written by men alone, without God?

I mean are you just choosing to believe this way based on what you've heard from others? Or have you made an attempt to apply some of the principles there, and found they didn't work?

I'll put it this way - I dare you read and apply some principals in the New Testement to test for yourself to see if they are from God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After all that's been said, I'm curious to know why you would continue to dwell on the Old Testement.
