DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ALL WORDS IN THE BIBLE IS  TRUE?

No I do not believe that all words in the Bible are true.  I believe that some have been put there by man.

[cln42170]

Yes I believe all words in the Bible are true. Man did write the Bible but they are Gods words.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ALL WORDS IN THE BIBLE IS  TRUE?

Yes I do believe in the Bible, it is God's word, Man did write it (I.E. Moses wrote Genesis through Deuteronomy. And a lot of the books in the new testament were written by the apostles as well as the epistles) But the bible is still the Word of God, God can use man as a vessel.

[VickieLand]

Yes I Know Man Wrote them,but they're GODS Words

[dugnamy]

Agreed. All of the bible's words are "God Breathed".

Of course i dont believe all words in the Bible are true...how could they be??...nobody that wrote the Bible was there during the birth of Christ..the writers could not all have followed Jesus, Job, Moses, John the Baptist..etc...'individually' and wrote down what they did..step by step...(right now you can make a TRUE statement, and tell ONE person..but by the time it gets back to you, its no where near what the original statement was)..so no, i refuse to believe over a period of centuries that wise men kept all the facts separated from fiction)

Not only that, but what about the King James version of the Bible? (old testament vs new?)..I believe that the Bible is true depending on how people wish to interpratate the writings..for instance...the KKK claims to be christian, and say they dont burn the cross..they just 'light it'..(Jesus never hung or castrated anyone by my knowledge,he punished no one for not believing in him, he wanted followers to come to him freely, and without FEAR)

I have problems with those that consider themselves "Christian" also..those are some big shoes to step into..Jesus did not even have a church, but now we have mega churches with unimaginable wealth all in the name of the 'holy one'...we have priest sleeping with children..all while supposedly following "Him'...to be Christian to me means..TO BE CHRIST LIKE...and i can think of NO ONE..able to walk in those shoes...

I tend to think of Religion as pure unadulterated evil, (a bunch of people saying "think like us, or burn in hell"..riiiight)...More hate has been spread at the hands of some Bible thumping hypocrite then people could ever realize....

GOD LOVES ME NO LESS/MORE THEN HE LOVES EVERYBODY ELSE, and i dont need a common sinner in a pulpit or flowing robes to tell me that..yes ima believer...but not to the point that i will follow man like the rest of the sheeple...sheeple scare the hell out of me...

i do not believe all words to be true as some conterdict themselves... as it says you are not to harm anyone.. but then in another book.. it states an eye for an eye... so you know somethings were added by man. but.... for the most part i do believe the word of the holy book

[meadowsmay1130]

I do think they are the words of god, and as far as filling christ shoes, no one is without sin however you are suppose to follow his example, and when you fall, ask for forgivness, and anyone pointing out others faults while while being an active sinner ( which 99.99999999% of us are) is a sin in it's self. I am a Christian and as far as making people feel like crap because they are doing something we no longer do, boggles me. you cant expect people to want to go to god if the christians they see are judgemental and hypocritical. the way I see it is, make everyone feel comfortable and when god is ready to work in their lives her will put it on their heart. guidance buy people of the chuch is good but you cant change someone who isnt ready. I know I am a sinner, and so does god, but he also know I try hard every day not to be.

I agree with you. There are contradictions in the bible, and that makes it hard to be a true follower. If you follow some rules, you are inherently breaking other rules. This is why different sects exist. Some may focus on "an eye for an eye," while others may focus on the commitment to do no harm.

would anyone like to point out Bible verses that have contradictions please. I've heard many people say the Bible has "contradictions" but no one wants to point out and find them....

[jillknazur]

i don't believe in god..

[butimnottired]

i don't believe the bible has contradictions, i think in context and oftentimes the original language of origin, any believed contradictions can be explained

They're not really that hard to find.  A five minute look around a Google of "biblical contradictions" will make that pretty evident.  A 2000 year old book that was passed down orally for centuries before being written down, translated into dozens of languages/dialects, and edited by the hands of thousands/millions of people with different agendas is going to have contradictions.  There are hundreds, probably thousands, in the Bible...fortunately for you and I, there are people who make a career out of analyzing the Bible and making lists of things like the contradictions throughout.  Google is your friend for that.  

If you don't want to Google it, this might be a starter:  http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html#contradictions

On a random note, I can't figure out why this thread is in this forum section
