Returning to our regularly scheduled programming, a quick chronology of recent faith tangent

Bt; The reason i ask is that if you claim the the Bible is inspired by God and XO claims that the Bible is not inspired by God and both positions are based on Faith (as concluded by Bt) or lack thereof, why is XO wrong and you are right?

Sirs; Because I'm on the record as referencing that its an act of faith.  I'm not proclaiming it as some logical fact based conclusion

Bt; That does not answer my question. Why are you right and xo wrong on a faith based position? (notice again how Bt ignored my reference as to how I answered his question, and instead applied his conclusion that Xo was providing a faith based position)

.................... *drum roll*

Xo then seals the deal with: I beg your pardon?  I do not have a "faith based" position. I simply said that the Bible is not the word of God, and explained why it is entirely logical to say this

That felt good.  Thanks Xo

The Acts of Paul are attributed to Paul. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well as Peter and Timothy are attributed to their authors, and bear their names.

It is claimed by some that men were INSPIRED by God to write the various books of the Bible.

Outside of the erroneous premise, no one has claimed otherwise.  It IS the word of God, as written thru all those several individuals       ::)

my question is how is the bible viable medium to spread the word of god. it takes time for the information to spread to other parts of the world . does this mean people go to hell because they were just borne in the wrong part of the world?`

doesn`t the presence of missonaries gives doubt to the wisdom of god?

Doesn't seem fair, does it, but not being a theologian, I'd say yes, though way back when, when I was taking a few courses in the Bible, at my university, I do recall that topic came up, but my memory is letting me down as to how the instructor was answering that.  It's also one of the reasons, so many Christians go on missionary projects, all across the globe to spread God's word, to those regions that have had little no expsoure in the word of God, so no I don't see that "poor wisdom" on God's part.  The only area that God seemed to get wrong is putting the legs to ostriches on backwards
