Description

This debate is to show how the Bible is the only true Holy Book. This debate presupposes the God exists and the debate is which one is His true Book.

@GeneralGrant

This is a 4-month old challenge. Why is there no debate? No arguments? Just a claim? Great subject, but it lacks substance. As I have familiarity with all holy writ noted, I am greatly disappointed. When this dies, if you don't raise it again, I will, but not from your claimed perspective.

@GeneralGrant

In that case, I guess I’m gonna have to look at the specific arguments presented. However, this debate suffers the same problem as the last (it’s about the same topic), that several “holy” texts are automatically eliminated by the presumption that the Judeo-Christian god is the true god.

@PressF4Respect

I am saying it is the Only Holy Book.

@GeneralGrant

Are you arguing that the Bible is the only true Holy Book because God created it, or that the Bible is the only true Holy Book because it is the only one that is truly about God?

@DynamicSquid

That the Bible is God's Book and no other.

What's the BoP here?
