Why don't Christians get that non-Christians don't belive in the Bible?

Question

Seriously, what use is quoting the Bible to try to convince a non-Christian? I see it more and more often here on Y!A.

Non-Christians don't believe that the Bible is the word of God. For them, it's just a book, no more believable than say, the Quran, Talmud, Analects or Upanishads.

Secondly, when you say that "not a word in the Bible has ever been proven to be wrong, even though people have tried for hundreds of years", you should realize that nobody but Christians believe that statement. Us non-Christians thinks the Bible is full of contractions and errors, such as claiming there was a worldwide flood, while basic geology that such an event has never happened.

We all have our own viewpoint on things, that's natural, but, fundy Christians really has to start understand that their opinion is not universal.

Answer 1

I guess it's just the way our minds seem to work. If you believe something to be absolutely true (irrespective of whether it is or not) then it's easy to forget or discount the possibility that not everyone agrees. To some Christians, the Bible is what it all revolves around - there is nothing else on which to base their arguments.

It's called thinking inside the box - in their case a very small box.

Answer 6

If you do not like Bible quotes in the religion section, then try leaving the religion section.

Every Christian was a non-believer at some point in their life.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

The Bible is our standard for our life and that is the valid point above all that man says.

Answer 7

You have to wear a sign so we can tell you don't know the Bible is true, otherwise we will assume you just haven't heard yet.

Answer 8

Christians know that non-Christians do not believe the Bible. But Christians do believe it, and know that "faith cometh by hearing the Word of God" so the Bible is provided to non-Christians so that the resulting communication of God's Word may result in their obtaining faith in God and in God's Word, too.

This is God's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.

Answer 9

Answer 10
