I consider myself a bible believer, because I read and live the word of God like he say do. I'm not perfect, but I'm striving for perfection, and when I see Christ, then I will be perfect, but until then, I must walk the word, speak the word, --with the fruits of the spirit. Without the fruits', you can't see if you living the word, because the fruits play a big part in walking, talking and living this word, that's how people see the word in you. So. I am a big fan of God, which make me a true bible believer..

I will never consider myself a Bible believer. There are MANY different BIBLE's out there and I will and can not believe in all of the Bible's.
First of all they were written by MEN, and with any written work comes their interpretation of what it is and the meaning behind the words.
Second, The bible's are a guildline (from what I understand) to help anyone, not just the person with the faith but anyone in general who picks up a BIBLE and reads it. The bible's in the world are guidelines on how a MAN had written them, and if you follow them word for you word (you will go CRAZY!), you would not be able to.
It is a fact that not all bible's believe in the same thing, so to read and live by the Bibles (sinse you didn't specify) would be ludicris. Now to read them, understand them, and do what you will with the information, yes I belive the Bibles of our world can help us become better people. But to follow exactly to the bible is insane. We do not live in the time where men could live for hundreds of years! It would be impossible. But reading the stories in the bible and understanding the meaning it is trying to portray is what a good educational book is for!

I do consider myself a "Bible believer" to a point. Do I believe that the earth was created in 24 x 6 = 144 hours? not really sure. Do I think that God and Satan talked to each other about a single man Job? probably not. I think the Bible should be looked at because it is such an influential book. But as far as what to believe as hard fact and what to believe as "guidelines" or "illustrative story" is different. I think everyone has to figure out things for themsevles. I never try to force anything on anyone.
If nothing else read it as a good work of literature -- it is a very good read if you like action, war, history, love, hate, jealousy, greed, assasinations, and long travels. It fits in with most of the other epics.

I think there are many truths in the Bible. I also believe that the Bible has been changed through the centuries and many things have been added and many things have been deleted. It is a good starting point and I think it gives us an idea of how things were started. But I am not so sure that it is wise to try to follow it to the letter. I think that had God wanted us to do that then he would not have given us free will or the use of our own minds. I think it may have just been given to us to help us along.

Almost 70 percent of people on the earth.And 20 percent of people do not know about Bible because of their religion.And the left 10 percent r the Christians who do not believe in Bible.It is mostly becauz many things written in the bible do not goes with scientific discoveries with proof.
Which Category do u belong to?
Anyway yes,I do try to live by Bible.Because it has got best solutions for all the problems that exist on the earth.What all man has discovered is right.But it has nothing to do with the Bible cauz there is much more 4 man 2 discover.

NOT ME!!! My reasons for not believing the bible as true is because of my experience with christians, within christianity, and after reading the bible as it should be read, as an evil book with bad moral codes.
I believe in God but not the God of the abrahamic three if that makes sense. Im one of those that took the first commandment and threw it out the window. yeah a *heathen*

According to the latest polls, 92% of American's believe in God which I'm assuming goes hand-in-hand with The Bible, the Torah, or the Quran.

I do because the Bible is 100% true. I try my best to live it and ask God daily for His help in doing so

I believe in God. I'm not sure if that makes me a "Bible believer" or not.
I believe in God because I believe in love.
Yes, I try to live by God's love. But, being imperfect, I very often fall flat on my face.
I am so grateful that I have a God Who understands this, and Who is willing to reach down from His Heaven and pick me back up again!
May I introduce you to my God? His name is Jesus. Get to know Him, He is really a very cool Guy.

I used to, back when I was brainwashed and forced to go to Catholic/Christian school. I sure as hell don't now, though. "The bible is true, because it's true" just isn't good enough for me. Give me some solid evidence of a deity existing, and then I'll consider believing.
