Innate knowledge, testimony of the Holy Spirit, track record.

1) Innate knowledge= belief; 2) you cannot prove the existence of the Holy Spirit, since this is an article of faith; 3) track record- please provide an example.

Only haruspexs who made no mistakes in their predictions are candidates for internal consistentency.

How is the Bible any more accurate? (and, of course, this begs the question- which Bible? Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox?)

When you can prove the validity of relying on empirical evidence (and only empirical evidence) for all knowledge, then you'll be out of the faith boat and have a basis upon which to demand proof of others. Until then, welcome to the ship.

Isaiah Chapter 53. You may not agree that this evidence of a track record, but that is only because you believe in a different standard. You can't prove the standard of empiricism alone is any more vaild than the standard of Scripture. Like I said, welcome to the boat.
