Strange as it may be to you, I believe everything in the Bible.
I don't expect anyone to understand why, I do because it has never been "proved" wrong.

Why of course - are you aware that during Alexander the Greats Time he rounded up all the books and papers of his time and before and burn ted them. He even had some words changed in the BIble? Do you know which words they were? No . So how can you be live any part of the Bible. Let me state another point -according to the Bible - God gave man dominion over everything? What has man done with this power or word - he has and is destroying everything on earth. The Native People - Chief Seattle states " The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth." This second statement is much truer to me than the other. Think on these points - for we need to find our truth, for our truth will set us free.

No.
It is divine wisdom that has been protected against destruction through out the centuries and millenia.
It does not contradict it self and if someone says that it does they are missappling Scriptures.

Bible Prophecy and Fulfillment
Read the prophecies recorded in Luke 19:41-44; 21:20, 21. Shortly before his death in 33 C.E., Jesus wept over Jerusalem because he knew what was going to happen to it. He foretold how the Romans would come and build a “fortification with pointed stakes” around Jerusalem and how they would devastate the city, causing great distress. Then he warned his disciples to ‘flee to the mountains’ when they saw the Romans coming against the city and thus save their lives.
If you examine history, you will find that this all came true. In 66 C.E., 33 years later, the Roman armies attacked Jerusalem. Then, according to Jewish historian Josephus, the Roman commander “suddenly called off his men, abandoned hope though he had suffered no reverse, and flying in the face of all reason retired from the City.” This allowed the Christians who remembered Jesus’ prophecy to escape. In 70 C.E the Romans returned, built an encircling fence 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and trapped everyone inside the city. “Jerusalem itself was systematically destroyed and the Temple left in ruins,” says The Bible and Archaeology.
The Bible’s Historical Authenticity
The book A Lawyer Examines the Bible highlights the historical accuracy of the Bible this way: “While romances, legends and false testimony are careful to place the events related in some distant place and some indefinite time, thereby violating the first rules we lawyers learn of good pleading, that ‘the declaration must give time and place,’ the Bible narratives give us the date and place of the things related with the utmost precision.”
The New Bible Dictionary comments: “[The writer of Acts] sets his narrative in the framework of contemporary history; his pages are full of references to city magistrates, provincial governors, client kings, and the like, and these references time after time prove to be just right for the place and time in question.”
The Bible’s Internal Harmony and Candor
Imagine if a book began to be written during the time of the Roman Empire, continued down through the Middle Ages, and was completed in this 20th century. What would you expect if the writers’ occupations were as different as soldiers, kings, priests, fishermen, herdsmen, and doctors? Would you expect it to be harmonious or coherent? ‘Impossible!’ you say. The Bible was written under these circumstances—yet it is harmonious throughout! The Bible is a collection of 66 books written over a period of 1,600 years by some 40 different writers.
While most ancient writers reported only their successes and virtues, the Bible writers openly admitted their mistakes as well as the failings of their kings and leaders. Read some examples of this in Numbers 20:1-13 and Deuteronomy 32:50-52 regarding Moses, who wrote those books; Jonah 1:1-3 and 4:1 regarding Jonah’s own failings; Matthew 17:18-20, 18:1-6, 20:20-28, and 26:56 regarding the poor qualities shown by Jesus’ disciples. The honesty and candor of the Bible writers give support to their claim of being inspired by God.
BLAM!

No. If it's in the Bible, it is true... not all is used in the same way, though. For example, you wouldn't stone a child today, but that was done in the Old Testament times. I do believe the Bible is truth, though.

A lot. I don't believe my birth was a total loss as it claims. I don't believe everyone is doomed to hell because of the mistake of one woman. What kind of God, who is supposed to be loving and merciful, would punish billions of other people for what one person did? I don't believe my father has the right to sell me into slavery. I don't believe if my husband died that my brothers in law can pass me around and rape me until a son is produced. I don't believe I am a shameful being who must keep quiet everywhere when I am more intelligent than most men. I don't believe that the best men are those who never touch women as Jesus says. I also don't believe that babies heads are allowed to be dashed against rocks or that pregnant women can be ripped open in revenge of what the men have done as Psalms says in praise of God.

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that I don't believe. You either accept and believe the entire Word of God or you choose to reject it and its teachings.

nope, when you understand the style and types used by the author it all makes sense,even if a certain statement didn't happen or the amount of soldiers who perished was exaggerated you need to take the message and meaning from it, it is the message and meaning that is always true and can be believed.

I don't think that homosexuality is the sin that humans make it out to be. I don't think that woman should be as dominated & opinionated- less like the bible portrays them (not anymore anyways! God takes care of everything). AND I don't think there is a devil. And I think there may very well be a mother God among us:o] But they're more like ideas than beliefs.

No, it is infallible, just like God, it his Word.
Maybe you are not getting a revelation on it or comparing other scriptures to it.
Let it all scripture be judged with two ot three witness.
That means two or three that agree
Spirit or word
