Do you believe everything what the Bible says.

Ya, I think people who do not believe in God when they read, do not have his direction then get there own interpreting of it and share it with others and get the word so out of proportion that the non believer now thinks people who make Jesus lord of there Life is stupid cause the bible makes no since to them, when in fact the bible is hidden from them by God, and its his word, and can only be read with him and not without him.
He is the one who bring light, and understanding of it.
People who read it to justify there sin, will find ways to reverse the word, and bring it right into what they want.
Satan knows the bible, and he can interpret also.
Jesus said I saw Satan fall from heaven as lighting.
Before the world was made the word was,
So ya, the word is, and always will be, question is will you be standing in the word when the world is finished?
I hope so.

We would have to invent time travel to go back and see how much is truth and what is not.
As a history of the Creation and the start of the actual human race it leaves something to be desired as the beginnings were from oral traditions handed down from mouth to mouth and ear to ear. until the implements and an alphabet were invented for recording these oral traditions on to something more solid than the human mind.Even then the remnants are in bad shape and the original language no longer spoken. so we have to rely on the translations of people that think they know the language or can put a this should read into the empty spots .

Yes. But then again people have different ideas of what the scriptures mean - and that results in a vast division in the ranks of Christianity. So it then becomes "what is the truth to whom?"
You have Roman Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals and the list goes on and on..., then you have sub-groups or split offs.., I doubt anybody knows the exact numbers of Christian denominations and or non-denomination sects.
I try not to go with what's popular - but take the Bible by what it says and it has to remain in context. One cant read the old testament and ignore the new testament nor visa versa. Context is gained by the whole book. Thus truth has to be taken in context or else it becomes and illusion of truth,

You need to specify which Bible you are referring to. The Christian Bible is composed of the Old Testament, and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible.
I think the Hebrew Bible is almost completely mythology.
The New Testament is about Jesus Christ. The earliest writings of the New Testament weren't written until about 60 years after Christ is supposed to have died, and other books are probably as many as 150 years later. I think there is a chance that there really was a man that the stories of Jesus Christ are based upon, but that many of the stories are inflated. There are older pagan myths that have a lot in common with the stories of Christ, so probably in retelling the stories of the real person, the retellers added in components from other myths.
Note that people say that Christ fulfilled all of the prophesies of the Messiah from the Old Testament. Well, if the New Testament was written after the Old Testament, and the stories are at least partly fiction, how hard is it to make it so that Christ fulfills the prophesies?

The Bible is the truth and I believe everything that it says. I have applied a lot of the verses in my life and have noticed positive things occurring.

I don't think the Bible is any truth, literal or otherwise. And I wouldn't know whether I believe in everything, since I haven't bothered to read it all.

Some is historical fact and some is allegory. Even the parts which are not to be taken literally still hold moral, spiritual, and personal truths for people who read it.
Try reading the bible with an open mind, unbiased by religion or anti-Christians, and sort out what you believe to be true yourself.

Yes, for example when one of the Israelite generals commanded the sun to stand still (in the Old Testament), to give him more daylight to win a certain battle; that is the literal truth, cause it's the sun that revolves around the earth, in spite of what scientists say.

Then put it to the test! What is the only thing the True God can do that no other false god can imitate? Prophesies! Read the whole of the bible and see if all its prophesies are true. Double check it with history and cross check it with science. Then, if its coming from God, its the truth!!!

I asked the same question. The nearest I could figure is that American Christians are more likely to believe it's the literal truth than Christians in the UK.
However, how you can believe in Noah's Ark and all that is beyond me!
