And the graves were open and bodies of the saints which slept(dead) arose. 53..... after the resurrection,and went to the holy city and appeared to many.

meh ive given scriptures to christians and referenced them, copied and pasted them from biblegateway.com, gave them a link there, and still had a majority of them tell me that the verse i quoted wasnt in the bible
it leads me to believe that christians believe only what they want.

I am really surprised that anyone would discount any scripture.
There is no grey area here.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Mat 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Some ways to find out what a certain scripture is saying is to look in several versions of the bible at the scripture. It is common to see different wording which can help give insight. Another way is to compare the usages of the words in question in the languages they were originally used, to their equivalents in the language of your bible. This type of research though would take help from others because a word can be used in many different ways in a language.
In Isaiah 45:7 some bibles use the word "evil", but in one version I found a different word used instead of "evil". It is "calamity" which makes much more sense. Sometimes a word in a language can even change meaning to the point where the original meaning becomes lost. These are just a few things to consider in bible reading. May all who read it never be discouraged, but continue to search out for understanding because taking in knowledge means everlasting life, John 17:3.

Some People don't care about reading I guess.
just to clear up a verse someone posted on here:
The Word "rha" in Isaiah 45:7 can be translated as "wicked", "bad", "hurt", "harm", "ill", "sorrow", "mischief", "displeased", "adversity", "affliction", "trouble", "calamity", "grievous", "misery", and "trouble not only evil
The context of the verse is speaking of natural phenomena.
"I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; 6That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, 7The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these." (Isaiah 45:5-7).
Notice that the context of the verse is dealing with who God is, that it is God who speaks of natural phenomena (sun, light, dark), and it is God who is able to cause "well-being" as well as "calamity." Contextually, this verse is dealing with natural disasters, and human comfort issues. It is not speaking of moral evil; rather, it is dealing with calamity, distress, etc. This is consistent with other scriptures.

Everyone reads and understands things differently, some will see it one way, many others will see it another way. It's just a part of being human.
Just read and study it to the best of your ability and decide what you believe on it. =)

They also don't believe that God can be evil.
Isaiah 45:7 -
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I do believe in that. Opinions are like noses, we all have one. Remember, God is God. He is not limited to things we can comprehend.

We can't judge others, but we believe the Bible by faith.
