What a fantastic discussion fella’s. Is it fair to say if the answer to all of life’s circumstances can be found in the Bible then that can be the basis for the belief that the Bible is the Word of God? It seems that the Creator of life would provide us with this. It seems totally irrational that the God of light would leave us in the dark. The confusion is not in the Bible itself, but in adding or taking away from it by, who else? God’s creation. 

I might like to add that the apostles believed so strongly in the the word of God that  they were willing to die for it. Even Paul, who came around after Jesus ascended.This may be all the verification we need, unless one thinks the martyrs didn’t have all the facts before they made their choice. I am not so sure we should be looking at the word "word" literally. I can write words all day that don’t mean anything, but the word of God has power, love, mercy, strength, perfection capsulated within the "words". The only place you can find the words of God are in the Bible. It really doesn’t matter what other religious texts say, you can’t be indecisive when it comes to what you believe (words of God you can read in the Bible).
