How do we know that the Bible is the complete and only Word of God versus say the Catholic Bible or writings such as the Q'uran, the Book of Mormon, the writings of Deepak Chopra, etc. And what is the danger for someone who doesn't know the Bible, and/or puts the Bible on an equal footing as these other books.

What is the difference between conversion and regeneration?  Is this something that happens simultaneously or does one follow the other?

Prov. 18:24 - Why are the NASB and KJV so different? And what is it saying?
