Try a little humility and honesty. Of what purpose would a one statement summary be to you when you have already classified this "a lorry-load of crap"?
Why don't you try summarising the Bible in one statement?

The Bible in one statement: The Bible teaches us about love and salvation for the purpose of eternal life. Now, pls summarize that crap in one statement. Thank you.

I'm afraid that in all honesty, your summary is a false caricature of the contents of the bible. Yes, it teaches about love, but it also teaches about hate, chauvinism, slavery and oppression of women. The bible has wisdom, but it also has some contradictions best described as dubious and questionable. A more apt summary would be that the bible makes a messy paradox of itself.

That you call this crap betrays a certain knowledge of its content. You've read it then, I presume? If that is the case, then what it is saying in effect is that on what premise would you say your belief is the objective truth, and not that of the Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Zoroastrian, ETC?

It's obvious u dont have a spiritual understanding of the Bible, so I will not waste my time debating the contents of the Holy Bible wt u.
And how do I know my believe is the right one? Well, that is where the spirit comes in. And besides, it has been proven several times where the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob defeated and destroyed worshipers and priests of other gods. It has also been confirmed even by the devil in the new testament that Jesus is the Son of God. The list is endless my dear.

I assume the bible you read is written in English? I don't suppose when you're writing exams in school, you require spiritual understanding of your questions (written in the same English) before you can answer them correctly? If you do, then we're cearly on different planes.

I didn't ask how you know your belief is the right one, I asked how you know that it is objectively the right one. These are two different questions requiring two different approaches. The latter requires objective evidence, not subjective ones, like ones from inside the Bible.

Your example of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob defeating and destroying worshipers of other Gods might seem objective to you, but it isn't. For instance, why hasn't the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob dared fight the God of the Hindus and their followers? Why wasn't the Christian God able to ward off the Muslim conquerors who swept the whole of Egypt, Constantinople, Babylon (Iraq) and other places that were erstwhile majority Christian nations? Would it then be fair to say that the Muslim God, in defeating the Christian God, is the objective truth?

The Bible is a spiritual book so u need a certain level of spiritual leverage to understand it, it is not a text used in school.

Objective evidence: there are numerous cases of people who have been healed of sicknesses by praying to God. I have had a personal encounter where I was healed so I know.

Not entirely certain what you mean by "the bible is a spiritual book". I am quite sure the bible is as physical as physical can be! I have a beautiful NKJV copy myself.

There are numerous cases likewise, of people who have NOT been healed of sicknesses despite praying to (Christian) God. Furthermore, there are numerous cases of those who have been healed by praying to Krishna, Ganesh, Allah, and so on. There are even numerous cases of those that have been healed, even though they didn't pray to anybody.

Lol.

I know that when Cyrexx is in "church" muskeeto will be around some where.

You know that just as we preach, you and cyrexx and co also preach as well, but on different sermon.
cool.

musKeeto:

Where u run go hide since?

Hide? Naa!

Just kind of hooked overly on certain things as such my input are sparingly.

However, i am still ensuring to answer "present" though.

musKeeto:

Ur friend, obazugee is running amok,

That one ^?

Its like that Guy has some deep frustration on international politics and economics that he is feeling God is responsible and as such he is taking it out on God and the bible.

His case is different, i see no need to west my time on his case.
His application of the bible is off the "christian" message most times.
(The end will come though)

musKeeto:

and being chased by fine Nl damsels

Maybe he is in need of a wife or they need husbands.

All the same, wishing them well.

Btwn, when are you taking a stand and stop floating?
