This quote from Dorothy Sayers is excellent! Why don’t people know more about the Bible that they are rejecting? <\/p>\n

Why do you want a letter from me? Why don’t you take the trouble to find out for yourselves what Christianity is? You take time to learn technical terms about electricity. Why don’t you do as much for theology? Why do you never read the great writings on the subject, but take your information from the secular “experts” who have picked it up as inaccurately as you? Why don’t you learn the facts in this field as honestly as your own field? Why do you accept mildewed old heresies as the language of the church, when any handbook on church history will tell you where they came from? <\/p>\n

Why do you balk at the doctrine of the Trinity “God the three in One” yet meekly acquiesce when Einstein tells you E=mc2? What makes you suppose that the expression “God ordains” is narrow and bigoted, while your own expression, “Science demands” is taken as an objective statement of fact?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Before you reject the claims of the Bible as false, at least read the Gospel of John.
