The only time that it is inappropriate for a person to use the Bible is if they say that the Bible is useless... and THEN turn around and use it for their own arguments.
I totally agree!
Thank you for sharing this!

Peace and Blessings Family,
I've seen this happen all throughout this forum, over all the years we've been here.
Folk who are not Christians, Muslims, etc., will often use the books associated with each, to bolster their argument.
What does this mean ... that there is some truth in the books, even though you don't subscribe to the teaching?
I've even seen where those who are Christian, Muslim, etc., want to cry foul, when their book is being used by someone that does not believe in the life path associated with the book.
Is that a fair position for them to take, calling a foul?
How do we balance this ... on one hand trying to prove these paths are not right, yet using the very books they are based on, to defend our positions in other arguments?
Personally, while i've not read the Bible or Quran in their entirety, i'm willing to believe there is some truth in both (or even all).
Can a person believe some of it, and not all of it? Is that fair and/or reasonable?
Whatcha think Family?
Destee
I think it should be said that many, if not most, of the non-Christians on Destee grew up in the Christian church and therefore maybe very familiar with the Bible. Do not underestimate the knowledge one has just because one may disagree.
