You are not correct. I don't live by a "Book", and the Bible is about as accurate as Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Really, then consider this. The Bible is trash.
The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.
When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...
Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.
Luke 14:26 God wants you to hate your family.
What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or wrong interpretation, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”
The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.
If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

There is no flaw in any of the books be it Bible, Geeta, Quran, Guru Granth Sahib or any other. Flaw is in our mind for how we interpret it. We make concepts without going into the depth of what is being said & take thing very superficially

Huh, what are we talking about, the book of the Devil vs the Bible? Yes, if you are, I am sure you will find more than just 100 flaws in the book of the devil , and you are more than likely correct, however, I do not specialize in the book of the devil, never did and never will. Those Devil worshipers are sure going to be surprised when they die, they are not going to even get 1000 virgins either. .

Right, so when the bible says a woman's birth is a total loss, oh my, that must be right. When the bible says a father can rape his daughter and then turn around and sell her into slavery from which she can never be free, oh me oh my, that must be right. When Lot had two children with his two daughters making that the first case of known incest, oh me oh my that must be right. When the bible says a widow is to be passed from brother in law to brother in law like a peice of property to be raped until a son is produced without her consent, oh me oh my that must be right. When the bible says that God praises men for dashing the heads of little babies against rocks and slicing pregnant women open as revenge on other men, oh me oh my that must be right.
No thanx. I'll keep the truth. You can keep that filth.

The Bible is the most scrutinized, most hated, most criticized, most followed, and by far the best-selling book in history. Many have tried to destroy it. All have failed. That should say something.
There are apparent contrdictions in the Bible, but all can be explained when viewed in the proper context. To further confuse the issue, there are numerous "perverted" versions that make it hard to tell what is right.
God said he would preserve His Word. Those who attempt to discredit the Bible don't want to follow God.

I guess it's more than 100 flaws. A Muslim who posted a long sermon on Answers even quoted from his Quran, 'and the angel told Mary that her son will be born of a virgin and he will be known as the Messiah'. They're just contradicting themselves by denying that Jesus is the Son of God.

Flaws? Not in the Holy Bible. Try to be patient with the other religions of the world. We have a treasure that needs to be shared and not kept under a lid. Remember, love thy neighbor and be sure to have some prayers for all.
