After being here for a week and involved in many good discussions a recurring phrase disturbs me much and I'm anxious for your insight. Phrases such as "I believe" or "I think" or "I've been taught" don't hold much water nor would they in any actual debate. Belief/feelings/thoughts must have a credible source else they're just heresay. Is there a such thing as an absolute authority. A book or system of thoughts that apply to everyone at all times for all places? Is the Bible absolute in it's teachings or is it subject to personal interpretation or cultural bias?
