Question

Can i proclaim myself a Born Again Christian while pointing out the obvious inconsistencies and inaccuracies of the Bible?

Answer 1

You can do everything you want, but if you deny the Bible's accuracy you say God is lying when He said this:

2Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

It's right there - ALL Scripture is inspired by God.

Also:

Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Answer 2

There are those who take everything on total faith, but I think that most of us had lots of questions and doubts when we were first saved and sometimes still do! Over the course of time, and continuing on in prayer and study - God will show you that what some believe to be inconsistencies and/or inaccuracies are really not that at all. God rewards faith (which is believing without seeing) bit by bit, in steps that we can deal with. When we think we understand something pretty well, He will show us an even deeper layer underneath that we never could have fathomed even existed! The Bible says that God uses the foolish things to confound the wise - so it's by the heart and mind (not just the mind itself) that He shows us answers to all these questions.

Answer 3

You are not reading the Bible correctly if you think there are inconsistencies and inaccuracies. Get a copy of a companion Bible and a Strong's concordance and a bible dictionary. With these three books you will be able to take the Bible back to the original language and then you will be able start understanding the Bible.

Answer 4

The Bible does not have any inconsistencies. It's inspired by God. 2 Tim 3:16

Answer 5

You can know it this way:

Have you repented, believed in Him and that He is alive, and received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Do you KNOW in your heart that you are going to heaven?

If "yes" then most likely you are a born again Christian, BUT like a "child" in Christ. You need to get more knowledge and a better relationship with God, and He will lead you to the truth.

Eph 4:14: "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive"

There are NOT inconsistencies in the Bible, but some of the issues need more research to understand them. 2 Pe 3:16 states:
"As also in all his epistles [Paul], speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction."

My experience is that when confronted with difficult arguments against Christianity, although at first glance they seemed strong arguments, finally, with the help of God, I have been able to understand everything (sometimes quick, sometimes it took a little more time, and some research). That, obviously, has given me the confidence that the Bible is, indeed, inerrant. We, as humans, can have an imperfect understanding about it, though.

If I can help you with any given verse, let me know.

Amen! the hot beginning is a great and maximum severe replace, 2 Corinthians 5:17. it isn't any longer in call or in occupation in uncomplicated terms, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is a deep and radical replace of the middle. it is so great that it would desire to be reported of all and sundry, that he's a sparkling creation of God; and with regards to all and sundry, that previous issues are gave up the ghost, and all issues are boost into new. How important it is that we examine our hearts and spot no rely if this variation has taken place, or no rely if we are nevertheless residing with out God and with out desire. it is important that we be born lower back, John 3. If we are no longer born lower back, and if we are no longer new creatures in Christ, we would desire to perish for ever. no rely what our wealth, skills, gaining awareness of, accomplishment, acceptance, or morality, till we've been so replaced that it would desire to be reported, and that we are in a position to assert, "previous issues are gave up the ghost, and all issues are boost into new," we would desire to perish for ever. there's no capability interior the universe which could shop a guy who isn't born lower back. —Barnes' Notes on the hot testomony

Answer 7

Jesus Christ says that you must be born of water and the Spirit to be born again. It is unfortunate that Christians do not believe or practise this. Rather they profess they give their lives to Jesus Christ. This is not in the Bible. It is not the teaching of Christ. Therefore, it can safely be classified as the teaching of Satan to raise followers into hell.

Adam died to GOD in the spiritual life in the Garden of Eden in Paradise. Consequently, man lives in flesh and blood in a world Satan rules. The purpose of the Mission of Jesus Christ is to restore man to spiritual co-existence with GOD. He has done this by His resurrection. You have to confirm the New Covenant before you baptize. The promise of GOD to save us is in this Covenant. Outside it, salvation is absolutely impossible.

It was after His resurrection that He commissioned baptism for believers. Baptism unites one with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection. Romans 6:3-10; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12. If this happens, you are born of water. Your spirit has been revived and reconciled with GOD and can now be born of Spirit to do the will of GOD. Jesus Christ says: "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." John 3:6.

There are no 'obvious inconsistencies and inaccuracies' in the Bible. All it takes a spiritual understanding. Now you know how one can be born again. 'Give your life to Christ' is neither the teaching of Jesus Christ nor can it be found in the Bible. Whose teaching is it then if not Satan's? "Watch out for false prophets." Matthew 7:15-20.

Answer 8

Why of course. You can proclaim anything and believe anything you choose. This does not mean you are born again or that you understand scripture.

New birth is not a result of proclamation. Deep understanding of scripture is not a prerequisite of faith. Child-like curiousity is expected.

Is your question sincere or do you carry bitterness for those of faith? This I do not understand.

Answer 9

Sure. A real Christian is a seeker of truth, not a believer. And a person is'nt really born again. Just know your real self or the I AM.
