I don't see why not.  People take the bible too literally.

Yes. It is important to find out for yourself the truth. I prayed long and hard about what I had been taught from childhood. I studied the scriptures and prayed about them. Then answer I got was the most wonderful feeling that everything I read and was taught was true - I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is true.

You cannot expect to read the bible and understand it unless you are guided by the holy spirit to understand. All other should go to bible school and be taught by scholars of christianity.\n\nIn Gen 6:3 we read a remark. In laymans terms "My spirit will not be in man because he is corrupt. His days will be limited."\nHe says this after witnesses Angels (Sons of God) mixing with (daughters of man) and seeing the result. Was he talking about the Nephilim or natural man? Maybe upon using the phrase "They will (instead of shall) live to be..." meant that in the end days the years would be limited to 120? In Gen 11 we read recorded history of the lifetime of different individuals. Notice in the Bible that most recorded lifespans are referring to the timeline of Jesus. Maybe only Hebrews were living longer than Gentiles. Laws written in the past have been modified.\n-------------------------------\nSingers? How is this relative to the Salvation of Mankind. Under stand that unless you have the original ancient Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic transcripts we can only argue the possibilty that among the many scholars there was a typo.  \n---------------------------------------------\nOne version called the Wycliffe New Testament Says:\n(18) And this Judas had a field of the hire of wickedness, and he was hanged, and burst apart the middle [And forsooth this wielded a field of the hire of wickedness, and he hanged, burst apart the middle], and all his entrails were shed abroad. \n----\nPoint of the matter is that he killed himself. He will never see heaven. \n------------------------------------\nDeny Divinity? He didn't deny divinity at this point. He was speaking with a young rich man who had done good all his life. He thought that just being good was enough. He spoke to Jesus calling him good Teacher, but Jesus, making a point, said that only God is good (excellent, first class, first rate). He never made himself out to be superior to God. \nMatthew 26:63-64\n(63)But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."\n(64)"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." \nJohn 1:14\nThe Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.\nJohn 8:54\nJesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.\n-----------------------------------\nAre you argueing that God is or is not Jesus.\nJesus is and is not God.  Let me give you an example me and my wife are one. God unified us to depend on each other as 1 government of the family. In this way The Father, Son and Holy Spirit together are one deciding unit. Some call it The Trinity. \n\n1 John 5\n(7)For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. \n\nJesus says:\nJohn 1:1-3\nIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.\nGod says:\nGenesis 1:26\nThen God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."\n---------------------------\nALSO\n- trust in God: Trust in me also\n- If you hate me you hate my father also\n-I am The Way, The Truth and The Life, no Man Cometh unto the Father but through Me.\n--------------------------\ngod thank another GOD. (There is only one GOD)\nJesus was sent in the flesh. He was sent as the Son Of God. The Son thanke

The bible is complete if anyone adds to it you will regret it.And if you follow them. So there is no truth but the bible.You choose your choices.

May be faith and belief.  But yours is a really difficult question, even theologists have to scratch their heads.  We dont need fictions likd Davince Code.  But real answers to your sincere queries like this one.

The  Bible is God's Holy Word.  He inspired men to write down what he wanted us to know about him.  Nothing has been added or slipped in as you put it.   There are no lies in the Bible.  Just because you cannot understand it, you think that it is full of lies.  I suggest that you talk to a pastor to answer your questions.   I believe that the bible is true all the way through.  I think that you need to examine your heart and your relationship with God.  If you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, then you don't need to question the bible.\n\nGod will reveal himself to you through his word, if you just open your heart and allow him to do that.  I will be praying for you.

The Bible is not the silver bullet, of course. I do believe in God and in Jesus's ressurection, however, there are parts of the Bible that sound like pure nonsense to me while other parts contain great, true wisdoms everyone should live by.

I believe you can, and this is one scripture that points to it.  \n\nSome will say that Ananias and Sephira weren't "really saved" if they fell away, but I find that theology terrifying.  If the only way you know if you are saved or not is by sinning and being struck dead, that makes assurance hard to come by, doesn't it?\n\nFor if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.\nHebrews 10:26-31

It can not be dispproven, many have tried and failed.\n1) live the life for yourself as God commanded\n2) read the bible and search answers for yourself, you will see.\n\nOnly those who deny Almighty God or turned their backs on Him are trying to dispprove Gods word.  Those who live the life can testify that the bible is truth.

Before I became a born again Christian, I was in your shoes. The bible made zero sense to me. I would read it, and could not remember what I read, nor see the importance of the "dusty old book" However, the only way you will be able to understand it is if you accept Christ into your heart. To do this you must be convinced that God exists, then you must have Him dealing with your heart (which I think He is given your concern about not understanding the bible) Then when this comes to light you will see your need of a Savior due to your lacking in the eyes of God.\n\nBleesed be unto you to harken unto this call.

It use to be a thought of mine but then I read in the Bible that some things we will never comprehend on earth in our sinful state, some things will seem like foolishness when it comes to God. however, he reveals himself and character through his son Jesus and through is creations. We cannot comprehend eternity with our finite minds it would drive us mad - the promise is sure though that we will not die in heaven and it will be blissful and happy. Our duty here is not to explain what we have no knowlege of but what is revealed to us through the written word the Bible. All questions will be answered in heaven, just follow the Bible.

I walk in the faith that the Bible is a load of codswallup. Especially concerning the parlor tricks of the New Testiment. 1Peter 2-24 included.\n\n-SD-

Wow! That is a very well thought out question. I guess the best way to answer that is to say that you have to go on faith. We all believe differently. Unfortunately we were not there when the authors of the Bible were doing their thing. We can talk to God. But, it is difficult to be sure of his response. If we get one at all. Its all in what you believe.

Nope. On the Rock of the Word is where my foundation is planted. Winds of fiction will come and go--always have, always will. But the Bible continues on as the Word of God.

This website is just someones personal interpretation of the verses in the Bible.  Read the bible for yourself and then ask God  himself for any needed explanation. He just might answer you !\n\nGood luck with your spiritual journey!
