On another forum, Chapabel complained that I would never attempt to verify the truth of his "evidence" that the Christian bible is true and accurate. I responded I had no idea how to conduct such a verification and asked him how I should go about it,
He responded "Here's what I recommend, read the Gospel of John with an open heart and mind. Do not try to read the entire book at one time. You don't even have to read a complete chapter at one sitting. Each time you take time to read a portion, ask God to reveal Himself to you. As an agnostic it will feel strange to ask God to help you since you aren't even sure He exists. When you come to a portion you don't understand, ask God to show you the meaning. Keep reading that part until you know what is meant. Feel free also to ask me and I will attempt to uncover a meaning."
I protested that that was not a valid method of verification and was told "there is no justified true belief for someone who refuses to believe".
Was I correct in my protest?
