Do you think that the words of the Bible are perfect?

Question

You should not. They were inspired by God but written by men. No man can contain perfection. It is not the glory of the words but the glory of the spirit that comes from the knowledge of the words.

Answer 1

God's message is perfect, man's words are imperfect.

Answer 2

Well most of the message behind the words is worthless.

There are a few good bits in the New Testament but you have to carefully remove all the supernatural stuff.

Might as well bin the whole book and read about Buddha or Gandhi.

God doesn't exist. Only people with mental and emotional problems seem to feel he should.

Answer 3

The Bible was written by 40 ordinary men (except for Luke,he was a doctor).It was originally written in 3 languages,Hebrew,Aramaic and Greek.
1.The Bible declares itself to be the Word of God.All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. (2Tim.3:16).Because the Bible is the written word of God,God's judgment will be fall anyone who dares to add or subtract from "the words ...of this prophecy"(Rev 22:18,19)
2. The Bible is free of mistakes (INERRANT)
- God 's Spirit guided "holy men of God"(2 Pet 1;21)so that the words they wrote(which have been preserved in the bible)were kept free from error,God Spirit,by supernatural superintendence,guided these particular writings so that they said what God wished to be said,were written error-free in the original copies.
- The biblical words are protected from error by GOD.Isaiah 27:3 "I,the Lord keep it...Isa 40:8 "The grass withered,the flower fade but the word of God shall stand forever.
- The Old Testament was received as from God,hence inerrant.(Jos 1:8;2Ki 22:8,11,13)
-Without exception,fault cannot be found in the scriptures.Jesus said the Scripture cannot be broken(John 10:35)
3. The Bible is not wrong on any subject (INFALLIBLE)-Jesus accepted old testament as accurate.Few axamples:-accepeted Genenis as a factual account of creation(Mat.19:4), Adam and Eve(Gen 1:26),Cain and Abel(Mat.23:35,Heb.11:4),Satan (Luke 11:18),Noah (Mat 24:37,38)
4. The Words in the Bible came from God through chosen persons(INSPIRED) 2Tim 3:16) "by inspiration of God" theopneustos in Greek,literally means "God-breathed"The author of the Bible is God himself,He "breathed" the words through the mouths and pens of holy men.(2Pet.1:21)
5. Why should we study and obey the teachings of the bible?
-for spiritual growth (1 Pe 2:2)

-to be kept from sin (Ps 119:9,11,133)
-to enjoy health and healing (Ps 107:20)
-to be prospered (Jos 1 :8)
-to be kept on God's path in intellectual freedom (Ps 119:104,105)
6. How do we learn what the bible teaches?
-by the revelation of the Holy Spirit,by regular reading and systematic study of the word of God.

Answer 4

Law - imperfect, corruptible, mortal, good and evil
Grace - perfect, incorruptible, immortal, good only

When that which is perfect is come, then what's imperfect should be put away, done away, abolished, even blotted out.

The law (and lie) was given by Moses (first),
But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (second).

He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second.

Law - press DELETE to take away
Grace - press SAVE to establish

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 5

no it has got a bad plot and the ending is not very good 1out of 10

Answer 6

There you will come into a problem.

IF you doubt the words in the bible to be perfect.

Isaiah 34:16
16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Truely, Gods Holy Book is perfect. Some false in Translations can sometimes make more sense by researching a word in the Oringal Text. Or comparing other Translations.

This is the problems of thinking the Bible isn't perfect.

You will start to pick and choose what to believe, instead which can lead to following your own heart or spirit. Which can easily go against the word of God.

Isaiah 28:10-13
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:


Learning the Bible Percept upon Percept, and line upon line, can help clear the cloud of confusing. I suject never be convinced about a thing in the bible unless you have at least 3 scripture verses to confirm the understanding on any subject. While there is a chance here and there is "misunderstood, or mistranslated". The chance of the whole book to not be perfect is saying God can't Control the Book he inspired to Speak to us.

2 Timothy 3:14-17
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


And I believe God put his spirit in Man to Write the word he wants us to have, and he perserves it for us, now and for future generations.

GODSHEW: The law is Holy, read your bible. We are not.
We are suppost to delight in Gods Commandments because it is good. Read below. We are at war with our Flesh which goes against our Spiritual God. We are suppost to have the Law in our hearts otherwise, you are not at war with our flesh, because we agree the phrase "lets do evil that good may come". IF we have Grace, use Grace to do Good. Keep Gods Commandments.

Romans 7:
12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


HOW ARE YOU REPENTING FROM YOUR SINS IF YOUR CONTINUE IN IT?

Luke 13:3
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Answer 7

No, the Bible isn't close to perfect. God inspired? Please I'll choke on my morning protein shake.

Answer 8

Not only not perfect but perfectly wicked in places (stonings, mutilations, rapings etc etc etc).

Answer 9

If you have something better I'd like to see it.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 10

not the words but the message if you seek guidance when studying.
