The Bible as Truth?

[Falconer02]

Did you read watch the clip I Posted?

Yeah. Twice now. It...didn't answer my question. And (no offense to your tastes) I'm not into christian rap.

The Bible is the TRUTH, But some books were left out of the Bible. However it still has the Salvation Message of Jesus Christ, which is the MAIN MESSAGE of the BIBLE.

It is the roadmap to Heaven and the instructions for successful living here on earth.

The Bible is the inspired, holy word of God. And the word of Godwill stand forever.

Im a little on the tyranny side. I believe in the old testament. I dont believe in having Jesus on a cross. BTW folks. Jesus got off the cross. So why not celebrate a risen saviour. Keeping him on the cross is mind control.

I believe James is an important books. I do not care to read Pauls misleading any longer.

I dont believe that Paul the writer of much of the new testament was legit. I mean he sways to much. He said hes circumsized then he said he is not. I believe Paul was a Mason. I

t was the religious leaders that changed the notes of the music scale. The scale used to be the solfageo scale and that is why people had an open mind then. They changed the harmony to put people in the box thinking. In order to believe in miracles you must feel it happening. And I believe the Catholic church continues at the uppper level to harm people more than help people. And to stuff people in a box. They are part, I believe, in the NWO and the bible clearly says in Micah that if you partake in a ONE WORLD RELIGION then God will turn his back on you.

I believe that faith is important. I believe in being spiritual but not mind controlled. Not public church mind controlled. You do not get to heaven by a minister. All you need to know is in your heart when you have the faith and believe. I have had miracles in my life because of faith. 

I love church if its the right one but I wont get into the subserviant worthless part of it. So if I like a church and they start in with your not worthy. Then I believe run as fast as you can. You are able to repent on your own. And this public scrutiny repentance is a symbolic stoning of people. Once I went to a great retreat but they insisted I go to the alter and confess my sins. My biggest sin was not going to church regular. They were looking for lust and I was like sorry but Im not lusting after anyone or sleeping with anyone. I believe in repentance. Just as you wake up to  being gratefful for anything and everything. I believe before you go to sleep you say your Im sorry, please forgive me, I love you. Help me to Love and understand better.

My favorite church songs are I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses. And the voice I hear falling on my ear the Son of God discloses and he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own. And the joy we share as we tary there. None other, has ever, none. I sing that on one of my videos. So repentance is not to be resaid and resaid at church so that the upper people can discuss what to do with you because you sinned. I believe that people who do real bad things to people must repent, say they are sorry and its because they wont that so many people are hurting. Its not that hard to say Im sorry. 

Well what was the question??

Goodnight all.

OK I think thats enough to cause the roll of eyes by the believers and by the not sure ers.

Lots of Love to everyone

Wow Charmane,
I could not have said it better.  You took the words right out of my mouth.  I am of the same opinion as you.  I am a strong believer but do not attend church for the very reasons you state.  It has become a place for people to meet and greet and gossip.  I would love to see the same zeal shown to people in need.  By the way,  I Come to the Garden Alone, is one of my favorites, taught to me by my grandmother.

May the Lord continue to bless you and yours.

The hymn is "In the Garden" written and put to music by C. Austin Miles.

The Bible was inspired by God and written by man

[jcribb16]

The Biible may have been written in man's handwriting, but the Words are from God.  The writers were told by God what was to be written, explained, or told, etc.

[timvolley]

i accept the bible as truth even though written by different men it was inspired by God

[falcon9]

To those saying the Bible is truth, or 100% true...  Elaborate please.  No offense meant, but those responses to me sound more like parrots, not responses of people of faith.  I myself believe the Bible is truth; but I would never call it literal truth, nor would I take it at face value - especially having studied the original languages and knowing how badly in places it's translated.

Given several of the posts by apparent xtians, it appears that they are directly implying that the human writers who contributed to the various biblical passages were 'inspired' to mistranslate them in some poorly conceived disinformation campaign designed to get those lacking critical thinking skills to surrender their 'souls' to some xtian daemon known as "god".

the bible is truth to me to others it is just laws-it is not easy understanding it,i can tell it is true by what is happening now-there are many events in the holy bible king james 1611 that is going on now.

Yes it is Amen

I heard they did a test at some college where they sat people down who never read the bible and who never read any of the fairy tales that most people are accustomn to, such as the 3 little pigs. THEY COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
