say some Christian have read the Bible through and through, was fascinated by it and immediately worshipped Jesus without even researching whether this book has credibility. can he be sure he made the right decision in worshipping Jesus?

i shut up when your explanation is without holes but if i see some flaws or loopholes, i point that out.
that link you posted is already old news and i've dealt with it, that's what i said in my post.
what's to understand? why don't you point some instances where i had been closeminded? i try to reply to every argument you present yet you leave some of my questions untouched, not even acknowledging it and forgetting it even exists.

the article regarding the moon splitting was nowhere specific, lacks detail and cobborating evidence. there was no mention of the show, when it was aired, who the interviewees and the austronauts were and no one has heard about that news no matter how huge it is yet i'm still giving it the benefit of doubt.
even answering-christianity.com doesn't say anything about this.

skeptics would claim that the quran is full of contradictions, but many of these i believe have been answered.
now you claim that the Bible is full of contradictions yet most(if not, all) have already been countered.
it's almost the same on both sides. no one would give up on this.
