How can you reject the Bible for what it is,  a God inspired revelation of his wil and plan for people,.......

People reject the Bible because they do not believe in the Bible's God: "inspired revelation" from a God whose existence is in doubt has little credibility.

one cant, at least THIS one cant.  When something terrible happens and you question gods "wisdom" a religious person will most often come back with god has a plan we just don't know what it is.  Well my point is if there is a god and this god is omnipotent then this god allows all of this terrible stuff to happen.  Now if this god has a plan that lets these things happen FOR WHATEVER REASON then it is not something I would want in my life.  If a person stands idly by and lets pain and suffering befall his fellow man when it is in his/her ability to stop the suffering then they are as much at fault as whatever is causing the suffering.  If a "god" dose the same thing, well its just a perverse sort of thing to put your faith in.

you are posing the same idea that Lucifer did to Eve. That God had some evil intent in His edict. Why or why not eat of the tree is not the issue. God could have just as well of said "Do not pee where the grass does not grow" The real issue is whether to obey God or not. The exercise of free will as according to Gods plan was initiated here so that after the full consequence of self interest is evident and the world is impacted as it has been God could then show that the exercise of the will by choosing to Love God through Christ would be possible, to the intent that the manifold wisdom of God might be known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places.

My impression from the Christians on this site (myself included) is that we are trying to at least clear up the confusion about Christianity and the Bible, but whether or not anyone is interested I can't say. \n\n My personal feeling is that if you're going to reject something, say Christ, you should at least know about what you're rejecting.  Some people do understand and reject what the Bible says, but most don't understand at all and have all kinds of pre-conceived notions that they've learned from the culture at large.

He can't help himself, he is deluded into thinking he can pull it off. God dwells in Eternity, He went down the time line & took a look, then told John what was going to happen. Prophesy is not "foretelling" the future. It is History told, before it happens.

The Bible was written by people and has a bias.  We read it to attempt to interpret what God means.  Since God lives within us, if we pay attention to our hearts we'll know what's right.

I 100% agree. God has authority over all creation and the bible is God's word written by man inspired by God the father and sent to us as a gift of love (just like his son Jesus) to help us understand what he asks of us and as an instruction on how to live. Read it, meditate on it and do not allow the skeptics and unbelief of the world tear you from it. Whether the world wants to accept it or not does not mean it does'nt apply to them.

When people speak of the Bible being inspired, they are referring to the fact that God divinely influenced the human authors of the Scriptures in such a way that what they wrote was the very Word of God. In the context of the Scriptures, the word inspiration simply means “God-Breathed.” Inspiration communicates to us the fact the Bible truly is the Word of God, and makes the Bible unique among all other books.\n\nBecause the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, we can conclude that they are also inerrant and authoritative. A correct view of God will lead one to a correct view of His Word. Because God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely perfect, His Word will by its very nature have the same characteristics. The same verses that establish the inspiration of the Scriptures also establish that it is both inerrant and authoritative. Without a doubt the Bible is what it claims to be - the undeniable, authoritative, Word of God to humanity.

who knows the mystery of God, for in Gods foolish mistakes he is still wiser then we are. when God made man he made man in his own image,God also told adam,and eve to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for in the day that they eat from the tree they would surely die. it was not God intentions to destroy the earth with water, but mans increase in wickedness provoke the wrath of God. God intentions were not to destroy the city of sodom and gommorah with fire,but they were drinking,being married,given to in marriage,men sleeping with men,women with women,children being raped,people sleeping with animals,and people worshipping idol gods.that provoked the wrath of God.furthermore because God is the same God of yesterday,today, and forever more,he knows before hands what destiny he will have planned for the future.as for why the jewish people still have not accepted the messiah is not your concern. what you need to do is find out who God is for yourself then when you do go to him in prayer and ask him.....

There is MUCH private interpretation, because people don't wait on God to give them revelation of what the scripture means. God told us not to lean to our understanding. A lot of people think they know what the Bible means because they've got education, but God doesn't care how much schooling. Remember the aposltles and prophets didn't go to "seminary" school.....they were taught by Jesus. Christians shouldn't even be cursing people out, because that's not Christ-like....yes they are hypocrites.

wow...the bible proves it self... and has to many peope throughout history...those the seek the truth find it and those that have no value in it do not...If you find the word of god as stupid then you have your answer as to why it makes no sense to you...God is there for those who find value in him..nad he reveals himself to those who seek him with all there heart...if this does not apply to you then why are you so amazed that you do not understand what others do? I keep talking to athiest who find no value in god whatsoever....this makes perfect sense to me that god has not revealed himself to these and if they are happy and you are happy why do you care that God has revealed himself to others?

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.

What you say just isn't true for many people.  People don't refuse faith; faith just doesn't exist for many people, especially thoughtful, rational-type people.  And you already know that it's not true that God always gives when asked; lots of times He doesn't.\n\nRE: Your Email (Yahoo wouln't let me respond directly):\n\nThanks Jenny.  I've read lots of the Bible growing up.  I have not decided "he doesn't exist."  But if He exists, he has not given me Faith.  To the contrary, He has given me a brain and a heart that do not lead me to Faith, even reading the Bible.  Who knows why, but that's the situation.  I can act like I have Faith, I can pretend I have Faith, but it would be a lie, and I can't just manufacture real Faith.  I'm sure it's very comforting to have Faith (regardless of whether it's well placed).

I believe God wants us to know specifically who he is and how to get to him.  Therefore, he provides us Scriptures. I just can't believe we can make up a god of our own imagining and have it be the right one. Only one can be right, otherwise he would be contradicting himself.
