Answer 2

well defacto , it means you are not very good at understanding what you read. lol

but to answer your question and its a big one: I believe 100% of it . I do not doubt one story or principle or account. As a student of the bible for about 47 years , i have found that we cannot and must not pick and choose what we want to take and not believe. Jesus quoted from almost all the books and always declared :"Has God not said... ?"

Your questions show a little bit of unfamiliarity with the principles though. No one can do it perfectly, that is why we needed a savior. Instead we are to yield our Lives to Christ and he will live it out through us ( gal 2: 20)

We have two Covenants and both are not in effect at the same time. The New Covenant supersedes the Old and is in fact a better covenant than the old one; based on a more sure word and better promises. 2 Peter 1:19 and Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. This New Covenant is a walk of Faith whereby you are learning to submit your self to the will of God in the Holy Spirit's guidance, a living relationship with God, rather than you doing whatever you think is right and that by your own will and interpretation of Gods will.

It's not my place to declare my own righteousness so I decline to answer your last question. I will say I spend many hours each day in the study and ministry of the word.

there is a BIG difference between historicaly true and provable historicaly true . Nelson Gluek was a scholar and his statements are accurate in the context of "provable" and in thier day. But the past of the bible is constantly being shown to be true by further archeology and study of ancient records. And that limitation is pushed back even farther every year. We now KNOW that Abrahams story is remarkably accurate to the historical evidences we have as to customs and covenants and cultural life styles . Something old Mr. Gluek did not have in his day. You gotta watch quotes by people due to the fast paced nature of biblical archeology and research , statements like that fast become out dated.

Ricky the " third heaven " is in jewish theology Gods dwelling place as is the term paradise which is idiomatic for the SAME thing. there is NOTHING wrong with that translation of those verses but your understanding.

Answer 3

If you will not accept my answer, would you accept the Director of the Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology at the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion’s answer?



DAVID ILAN (Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion): The farther back you go in the biblical text, the more difficult it is to find historical material in it. The patriarchs go back to Genesis. Genesis is, for the most part, a compilation of myths, creation stories, things like that, and to find a historical core there is very difficult.



How about P. Kyle McCarter, The William Foxwell Albright Chair in Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies:



“The Hebrew Bible is a collection of literature written over about a thousand years…”



You would be hard pressed to find anyone who really knows the Bible inside and out believing any of it is true.



Edit: Lifesharer

“But the past of the bible is constantly being shown to be true by further archeology and study of ancient records. And that limitation is pushed back even farther every year. We now KNOW that Abrahams story is remarkably accurate to the historical evidences we have as to customs and covenants and cultural life styles .”



That is not so:



Israel Finkelstein (1):

To sum up this point, modern archaeology has proven that the idea of an archive in Jerusalem, which kept genuine 10th-century records, is an absurd notion which is founded on the biblical testimony rather than on any actual evidence. Needless to say, this is the demise of the 10th-century anchor of 1 Kings 9.15. (2)



Zahi Hawass (3):



“Really, it’s a myth,” Dr. Hawass said of the story of the Exodus, as he stood at the foot of a wall built during what is called the New Kingdom. (4)



“Sometimes as archaeologists we have to say that never happened because there is no historical evidence,”



Rabbi David Wolpe (5):



“The truth is that virtually every modern archeologist who has investigated the story of the Exodus, with very few exceptions, agrees that the way the Bible describes the Exodus is not the way it happened, if it happened at all,”(6)



The truth is you will be hard pressed to find any biblical scholar who would say the Bible is historically accurate. The more modern archeology finds, the more it proves the Bible is historically inaccurate.



I have provided links to backup my claims, please reciprocate.

Answer 4

All of it I believe. Also follow it to the best of my abilities through the Holy Spirit helping me but I am not perfect but we are saved by Grace not by works. I found translation errors in many books so one must study the Bible hard the King James version has a ton of them most noticeably the words Heaven and Hell. For instance Luke 16:23 "and in Hell he lift up his eyes." The word Hell is again mistranslated as it should say Hades (basically a waiting cell until their final punishment of Hell at the end of time). Also Paul talks about Paradise and Heaven many mistranslations for instance "I know a man in Christ 14 years ago was caught up to the third Heaven. And I know that this man was caught up to Paradise". 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 NIV this implies the same person was in both Heaven and Paradise and that Paradise is in the Third Heaven however this is wrong as a better translation is "I know a man in Christ 14 years ago. Such a one was caught up to the Third Heaven. And I know such a man,- whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows- how he was caught up to Paradise". This suggest possibly two people but definitely describes 2 seperate events to 2 different places, this means Heaven is not the same place as Paradise and Paradise is not in the third Heaven (It is also a waiting place for those who are saved until the end when God rewards them with a place like Heaven, and it is underground). The New International and New King James Versions are the two best bibles out there.

Answer 5

I believe the bible completely,

It has changed my life for better.

It is a wonderful book of truth.

The only thing is I am not certain that you see it and understand it necessarily the same way as I do.

If you read it and follow the stories as they are described in the history, than we will probably not agree of its meaning.

I am certain that it is mostly in metaphors.

Because of this point of view, The bible made me a better man.

I always was a good person, now I am a better one.

Answer 6

Before you thumb me down, read all of my post.



I'll answer whatever question I feel like. I know most of the bible. I used to be a Christian before I became a deist. I would also like to ask, how is it god's word? God didn't write it himself. These prophets told others that god told them to write it. I'm gonna write some believable BS, and tell everyone that god told me to write it. How do you think that will go over?



Bible thumpers are idiotic. This is a little known fact, but there is a difference between Christians and Bible Thumpers. A Christian will try and interpret the verses in scripture. They usually fail when they do. Bible thumpers take everything in the bible literally and do not try and interpret. The bible has been translated, mistranslated, rewritten, added on to, had scripture removed, rearranged, and dumbed down over the years. Genesis is clearly a fable. Revelations didn't happen, or hasn't happened yet, so I'm not sure why it's in the bible if it's just a prophecy. The bible has lots of symbolism and metaphors. The ruler of Rome, Constantine, added verses that were made against homosexuals because he was homophobic and was trying to rally everyone against the Greeks whose men had sex with each other, often. He also changed the date of Christmas because December 25th fell on the same date a pagan holiday he destroyed. If I haven't made it evident enough, it's almost impossible to understand the bible. I believe it's just a collection of fictitious fairy tales that were made to be interpreted in many different ways.



I had a friend who was gay and went to church all his life. When he came out, all the Christians kept telling him that he was a terrible person, and unless he changed his ways, he would go to hell. They tried to "cure" him, and one day he decided he couldn't take it anymore. I lost a good friend.



My church also preaches against LGBT, and because I’m bisexual I felt like an outcast there for many years. I came out to my friend who had been my friend at that church for over 10 years, and he no longer talks to me. As I became smarter, I began questioning the bible before rejecting it entirely. I don’t reject God, though. I believe there is a God, but I’m never going to believe in any religion.



This is why I’m a deist. I’m no longer brainwashed.

Answer 7

I believe in what God tells me. Scripture is a big help, and I believe most of it, but i also haven't read the entire bible lol. I wouldn't worry that much about it. Read a few lines of scripture then ask God what it means, He's the one that counts anyway, not the book(:

God Bless you!!

Answer 8

Interesting that you are asking for people who "believe" it and then ask what parts they don't believe. I do know the bible and I also know that it is a plagiarized history text having nothing to do with god.

Answer 9

12. However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, (6) the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest by means of their words.



To search out the intention of the sacred writers, attention should be given, among other things, to "literary forms." For truth is set forth and expressed differently in texts which are variously historical, prophetic, poetic, or of other forms of discourse. The interpreter must investigate what meaning the sacred writer intended to express and actually expressed in particular circumstances by using contemporary literary forms in accordance with the situation of his own time and culture. (7) For the correct understanding of what the sacred author wanted to assert, due attention must be paid to the customary and characteristic styles of feeling, speaking and narrating which prevailed at the time of the sacred writer, and to the patterns men normally employed at that period in their everyday dealings with one another. (8)



But, since Holy Scripture must be read and interpreted in the sacred spirit in which it was written, (9) no less serious attention must be given to the content and unity of the whole of Scripture if the meaning of the sacred texts is to be correctly worked out. The living tradition of the whole Church must be taken into account along with the harmony which exists between elements of the faith. It is the task of exegetes to work according to these rules toward a better understanding and explanation of the meaning of Sacred Scripture, so that through preparatory study the judgment of the Church may mature. For all of what has been said about the way of interpreting Scripture is subject finally to the judgment of the Church, which carries out the divine commission and ministry of guarding and interpreting the word of God. (10)



13. In Sacred Scripture, therefore, while the truth and holiness of God always remains intact, the marvelous "condescension" of eternal wisdom is clearly shown, "that we may learn the gentle kindness of God, which words cannot express, and how far He has gone in adapting His language with thoughtful concern for our weak human nature." (11) For the words of God, expressed in human language, have been made like human discourse, just as the word of the eternal Father, when He took to Himself the flesh of human weakness, was in every way made like men.

Answer 10

I know the Bible and don't believe in it, what does that tell you?

I'd bet my entire bank account that I am more educated on Christianity and the Holy Bible then you are.

Cry mad blues, thumb me down... doesn't matter. Your beliefs are barbaric and inconsistent.

Answer 11

Lol, written proof.
