Most of what was written in the bible was applicable to the times back then, but is not applicable now.
The old testament seems invalid also.
The reason for all the confusion in Christianity today is because people are always taking the bible so literraly...its leading to a lot of false doctrine and rigid religious beleifs, which are apparant in Christianity today.

personally the only thing i see of any validity to myself is the gospel of Jesus by His Disciples.

well the old testiment was already fullfilled when christ died on the cross.We are living in the day of Grace,we no longer have to slay a sheep to cover our sins.When christ died upon the cross he made the devine sacrifice,and his blood now covers our sins...Yes I take the Bible litererly, It is the inspired word of God,we do not need to live under the Law(old testiment now)that does not mean that the old testiment was wrong ,it only means that it was their law in the old times before Christ died for our sins I believe people do not see the Bible all alike is because the Bible only comes to life for those who understand it....In order to understand everything in the Bible it has to be revealed to you through prayer.and the Holy spirit.........i do hope this helps in some way..God Bless!.

no human being, even with what they declare, takes the Bible actually. they'd emphasize the literal 24-hour days, yet then deny that God became actually drained and in want of a relax after his strenuous six-day paintings-week. they'd emphasize that God actually and without delay created human beings, yet they under no circumstances have self belief we are actually made from dirt. None of them believes in the dome that helps the waters above - they continuously make it an 'environment' or some thing else that they actually study about (in evaluation to the Biblical authors) because of technological know-how. i attempt to take it heavily, and for me meaning now and again I even ought to assert the Bible is inaccurate. the alternative is to rigidity the Bible to be inerrant even at the same time as it does no longer look, and if so one's best authority is the doctrine of inerrancy, to which even the Bible ought to conform, which fairly seems to defeat the objective! i counsel Marcus Borg's e book _Reading the Bible back for the first Time_. The subtitle is: TAKING THE BIBLE heavily yet no longer actually!

God's Word the Bible is not irrelevant today.It is just as relevant now as it was when it was written. The problem with "Christianity" today is that most people are not following what the Bible teaches. They are doing exactly the things Jesus and God said not to do. They are acting like the Pharisee's(Hypocrites,pompous,self-righteous,arrogant fools).

Every thing that is written in the Bible is applicable for all time. If some one was to yell and say 'look out', would you assume that what they have just said is invalid?

We recognize that the Bible has been given to us by God's inspiration and has proven itself to be real, true and applicable to our lives even now.
This is in contrast to the philosophies, religions and politcal views of man in today's world.
God's word has power to change people for the good. These others....well, just look at the Godless world.

What are you, Catholic? Anyway, you have a point. Many Christians can't see the forest, because of the tree, so to speak. They fail to understand that the Bible is a story of how God brings about morality and how God thinks. And a demonstration of His love and charity. It must be read in context of this understanding and things not pulled from it, as you will, to prove you point. Rather, understand God, and seek the truth without predjudice.

You do not know what you are talking about. You just want to argue. God is real, The Bible is true, GOD'S word is for today as much(or more) then it was when it was written and if GOD is not your Father then satan is. So...who's ur daddy?

I believe it because I am convicted by the Holy Spirit to its validity. The lessons it teaches and applicability is what draws me to its timelessness.

Because where you spend eternity IS serious business..
What you believe here counts for all eternity..
BtW...Jesus believed the OT literally.
Since he takes it literally,.....you'd have to be a fool not to.

Because it equips us to do good works and because God knows what is in our heart...so it is wise to take it seriously.
