If it's the word of God, shouldn't the Bible be free of contradictions, no matter who's reading it? Why do I need interpretations and apologetics, why can't I just read it and be instantly amazed and convinced?
Mark 16: 17-18
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
It's easy to offer at least some proof the Bible is true and that you are "right" in your beliefs - you let a poisonous snake bite you or drink some other poison and you survive without any damage. Keep in mind that there are some preachers and believers who have tried this who are not among the living anymore or were at least seriously harmed themselves. I hope you wouldn't try this because even you realize that the Bible cannot and should not be taken seriously.
