Why should the Bible be our source for morality?

Why should the Bible be our source for morality?: " If the Bible isn’t the Christian’s source for morality, then the question needs to be asked, “What should be?” The Christian worldview is based on two foundational axioms: 1) God exists, and 2) God has spoken to us in the Bible.

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Held Captive.: "After I commented "God knows those that love Him," an atheist replied: "Thanks, Ray, that's a relief, because sometimes it sure seems complicated." The whole issue of who is right is going to seem a mess until each of us experience genuine conversion"
