 PLS. ANYTHING CAN TALK ABOUT! BUT NOT ABOUT IN GOD AND BIBLE JUSTA HAVE FUN  CHANGE TOPIC..

No, I don't believe the Bible is factual.
I do believe there is a God of some sorts, maybe not the Christian God exactly. I believe in unity of all religions, though, and that if there IS a God, then He/She/It/They recognizes the need for cultural identity and diversity and therefore created (or gave man the ability to create) different religions worshiping "different" entities/gods when in reality we are all praising the same thing.
I believe that Jesus was no different than Mohammed or BaHa'ullah, etc... they were all men simply seeking to spread goodness and help mankind become more spiritual.
I follow closely with the beliefs of the BaHa'i Faith, but I am not a member (nor will I ever become a member of any organized religion) ... they believe that all the separate prophets  were simply Manifestations of God. If you read the teachings of the BaHa'i Faith, they make tons of sense. It's the most "zen" religion I have come across so far.

And why is this?

[vlsm23]

No, and I have a couple questions for those of you who are saying that the whole bible is god's word.  Do you believe and follow each and every word?  If the bible is truly god's word, shouldnt you follow every word instead of picking and choosing the books that match your belief and religion?  Just an observation from the outside....

Okay?  Why can't I talk about your religion?  Are you really that self-centered and have your religion on that high of a pedestal?

I do  believe that the Bible was written bu Holy men guided by God.  All of it is true.  The meaning is still the same as it was long ago.  The Bible is not what we call " politically correct".  Thank God!

It's pointless and meaningless to say you believe in every word in the Bible if you don't have the correct meaning.

I believe all of the meaning intended by the authors who were guided by the Holy Spirit.

[davidf938]

For those of you who believe every word of the Bible;
1.Fill a drinking glass with bleach.
2.Read Mark chapter 16 verse 18.
3.CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
4.Do the second thing the verse says you can do without being harmed.
                     GOOD LUCK!

nope. im not a religious person at all. i believe that man wrote the bible cause HE was a religious man and thought that people needed an incentive to do good and not evil

[mckyle9423]

I believe religion is just a crutch in life, like an entertaining story. And those who take it seriously just have clouded minds.

Also, while on the subject, can anyone explain why the bible is not considered a myth by many? I mean, it's just as believable as Zeus and Pandora.

[davidf938]

Would you give money to a man telling stories about mythology? The only difference is that some people actually believe the christianity scam which allows some other people to get rich off it.

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

Remember that, initially, the Jews were God's chosen people.  He found them to be unappreciative, stubborn and often uncompromising towards HIS ways.  He established a "Rule of conduct" for them to follow, which included strict rules (as you say).  When they continually failed, he opened up his word to the Gentile nations, and sacrificed his son to absolve the sins of mankind.  Even though we were given this new "beginning" and freedom, we continue to err in God's ways.  But it is our choice, we cannot serve two masters.  We either serve God, or we serve the ruler of this world--Satan"  It is evident by mans actions today, who the majority have chosen to serve.  We have unprecedented increases (at least by mankinds statistics), of homicides, fraud, love of money, etc., etc.  The Bible foretold that in the last days, men will be lovers of money, rather than of God, nation will rise against nation, unprecedented disasters will occur on a global scale.  It's here!  The Bible has accurately prophecied the "Last days of man".  "He has come to you with great anger, knowing that he has a short time."  Satan is the ruler of this earths domain, and his influences are STRONG....read the newspapers, watch the world news, talk to your neighbours, noone is immune...We are living testimonials to God's accurate prophecies, the last (I believe), generation to witness all these events simultaneously.

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.
