That may seem like a strange question to some, but it is an important one.  There is no doubt that many of you reading revere the Bible.  You own one, maybe several, read it now and then, and even believe what is has to say.  This would be your testimony.  True, you might equivocate on certain portions that seem to hard to understand or to believe. The roles of men and women, hell, unmarried sexual activity, election, and a host of other teachings might give you reason for reserve or vacillation, but you believe it and are for it.
