What If We Didn't Have The Bible?

Ok God, forget that prayer meeting we had when we prayed for each other's "needs". Crud, I can't go to that hot conference with all those amazing preachers.

Again, the reality is we HAVE the Bible. Christ came and gave the gift of Himself. We have a reliable record of it in the scripture. Supposing there is no Bible is like supposing there is no God - it doesn't change the facts.

The question of someone not having heard the gospel is much different than entertaining thoughts of "what if there were no inspired accounts".
