I believe it can and it is because it alone is 'God-breathed'. That's my opinion!
Unfortunately there is NOW overwhelming evidence supporting the fact that it was breathed
solely by man alone, done with the intent of creating power and relevance to a singular god
through their own imagination.
.
Having faith and abject adherence to men's imagination alone is always going to result toward a
detrimental human folly as we strive to live in the confines of reality.
When reality isn't enough we start cheating. We counterfeit possibility.
I love you doesn't feel as intense as we are feeling, so we counterfeit reality by saying: I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Believing something intensely isn't emotional enough.
Simply saying "I believe" gives way to hyperinflating possibility.
FAITH is like printing counterfeit money.
Everytime we fall back on FAITH we are passing a bad check on the Bank of Reality.
It's like wanting to give a million bucks to charity and simply writing the check.
Your heart is in the right place but your emotions have disconnected with arithmetic.
Faith is like writing a blank cheque toward reality or writing a cheque when you really don't have
any money in your chequing account .

Got to remember that one Terry .
Good write up by the way .
People like the JWS have adhered to a wagering faith that this world is irrelevant because they
believe their God of belief is going to soon correct all the ills and perils humanity experiences today.
.
They live with that idealogical concept to their own personal detriment and perhaps humanity's as well.
.
The ancient people who first expressed this concept of being saved by the Gods, failed them too as their
Gods failed to appear and correct their own perilous problems.
.
Maybe faith should be taken separately as waiting for the unlikelihood to happen when time and human effort
would be better spent searching to resolve problems the human experience entails ?
