She has questions regarding the validity and divinity of the Bible. At present, she does not believe it is divinely inspired and is merely a work of literature, not a means of transformation. Here, I could “prove” the validity of the Bible by comparing it to outside sources for historical events, talking about the literary phenomenon it was for its time, the significance and historicity of the authors, and other such methods; however, I think Jessica could get to the point of acknowledging the Bible as a source of history or literature and still not believe in what it has to say about God. To this end, specifically, I would want to address prophetic fulfillment, dedication to the point of martyrdom by apostles and followers of Christ, the witness of eyewitnesses in Scripture, and scientific wonders that leave us without an answer but God.

What makes it ‘right’ not to hurt someone else for your own
