According to her father, Beth Moore was born on an Army Base during a thunderstorm. She was born into a Christian family that seemed to influence her in religion at an early age. As she got older, she grew strong on her opinions and beliefs of God. She says, "God's love is unfailing, so any time we perceive He does not love us, our perceptions are wrong. Anything we perceive about God that does not match up with 1) the truth of Scripture and 2) the portrayal of His character in Scripture- is a lie". Understanding her perspective isn't difficult- it represents her faith in God. The real question is: How reliable is the Scripture? This same Scripture she is referring to is the Bible. The Bible has a New Testament made up by a group of Christians- so how can Moore believe the words of just anyone? Is it still the word of God if the information does not directly lead from Him? The information in the New Testament was not created when the Old Testament was discovered/rewritten. Does that still make everything said about Him true, just because a new part is added to the original? That's almost like saying anyone can write in the book and what ever words are written in it are true. 1]
