There is no other books in this world that is alive..The bible speaks to each person in different ways..The words come alive to you,,I know I can read it one day and the next I can see the same chapter and there is a different meaning to it..The Lord reveals his word to those who love him...

Yes, I agree the Word is living and God does indeed reveal His truth to those who love Him and who are loved by Him.
The word is unchanging, but sometimes God doesn't reveal the truth of a particular passage until the time is right for that particular believer. When you have grown in faith sufficient to understand...that is when God reveals His wisdom and truth. It's a continuous growing process. He gives according to our needs as we continue on our walk with Him.

People feel this way about a lot of different books. A child could read Harry Potter and see all of the tough times he works thru and that comes alive for that child. Not that the child believes Harry Potter is real or magic... but the child links with the difficulty the book shows.
And, personally, I don't see how a book can come alive just by reading it. Reading a book doesn't really mean anything until you put it into practice. I could read a manual on how to fix a car, but it doesn't make me a mechanic.

The lord reveals his word-I can accept that-but a lot of Christians are so self obsessed and intolerant that they are very far removed from God and any understanding of his purpose. The bible is a book filled with many pearls of wisdom but they're wasted on Christians.

It's PRIDEFUL to think God only speaks to a particular group
of people with only one book. There are many INSPIRED
Holy Writings in our world.
And you are CORRECT!
The BOOK doesn't conradict itself. Rather, it looks at both sides
of the story.
When we read the WORD, we tend to see what goes along
with our own way of thinking. And ignore what doesn't.
But when one reads INSPIRED material, one should ask for
guidance from the HIGHEST POWER.
Then, if one gets a litttle too liberal. The Spirit will lead them to
something more conservative.
And if one gets a little too conservative. The Spirit will lead one to
something more liberal.
As out Creator wants us to have an EVEN mind.

I think it is in Geneses, there is a verse that goes like this...God is the word, and the word is God..To me that makes it a living book because God made the world and all creatures in that world. God would never lie or deceive us. His word is the truth, which is The Bible

definitely yes
each and every word is yes and amen
it is written that 'heaven and earth shall pass away but the word of the lord wont'
each verse has vast meaning and it needs the holyspirit to understand the depths of the word

Yes the word is alive and doesn't change. There is much power in the word... that is how all things were created!

You mean you read something and then reinterpret it at your whim because you don't want it to say the same thing it said yesterday simply to justify your situation in the new day? Oh yeah people do that all the time. It's called hypocrisy. You can't say "Thou shalt not murder" one day and then the next day go out and kill somebody and say "Well, I reinterpreted it."

i believe YOU ARE,you are the one making anything alive,anything you take in is dissected in your being from the body,soul and spirit.What ever comes out is the product of what YOU are.I believe the real GOD is me and all of us,each one of us soul and spirit has entered that real GOD entity,if we know this real GOD our dissection will come out in positive goodness and alive,the bible is written by MAN,the bible is not the only reference,everything is.i have found the real GOD ,the real GOD is my entity,my soul and spirit has entered GOD'S ultimate self,all i have to do is listen to that REAL GOD and love .
