Do you believe in the Bible?

Question

Do you believe in the morality it preaches? Do you believe in the ENTIRE Bible? Do you believe any of it? It's hard for me to take stock in it when there are other holy books like the Qu'ran. Is the Bible the "only right one"?

Answer 1

Not really a "Singles & Dating" question, but a very good question anyway.
Is the Bible the "only right one"? No, I don't believe it is. I think it has good guidlines to follow, but to really believe every story actually happened is just gullability. Look back through archiological/biological finds to disprove many stories (garden of Eaden, Noah's flood). As far as Jesus being the son of God; Maybe he was, or he could have been a man with some new good ideas and strong beliefs. It wouldn't be the first time some one was killed for introducing their beliefs to the public.
Even if the information in the Bible was given directly from God, man is foulable and probably misunderstood some stuff. Take for example the change in God's behavior, from the angry vengful God in the time of Moses, to the benign, forgiving God that we believe we have today.
It could be that religion is the collective need of people to have something bigger than themselves. Something to explain why bad things hapen to good people, and the need to have something after death. Thus when society at large changes, so does our look at religon. Nothing keeps people under control quite like fear, the fear of an all powerful God that will smite you if you sin.
I'm not saying that there is no God, that the Bible is a book of lies, and that religion was formed to control society. I'm not trying to create a new belief structure. I am just offering some new ideas and different ways to think about the universe we live in.
For the record, I do believe there is a God in some form or another. I just like to keep my options open to new outlooks.

Answer 2

I personally believe what the Bible teaches. Not because I was raised with the doctrine, but because my own intuition. From a completely unbiased view, it is difficult to say if the Bible is the right doctrine. Other people are raised with different doctrine and might tell you the same thing I'm saying. They feel what they've learned is right because of intuition or experiences. So it's best to follow what your heart is telling you. Listen to that tiny quiet voice inside. Or, if you feel uneasy about a doctrine, then it's probably leading you astray from you heart.

Now, there is no denying that the morality the Bible teaches is correct. You don't have to be Christian to put those teachings into practice. The main thing that separates any religious doctrine is "they way to salvation". Morality aside because most doctrines say the same thing, salvation is their main attraction. The Bible says it's Jesus, the Koran says it's Muhammad, the Torah says the savior hasn't come. The thing about these three main religions (Christianity, Muslim, Judaism) is that they all claim to be the only right one. Then there are other religions that want to combine things. Then there are things like Buddhism and Scientology that aren't really religions but lifestyles. Before accepting anything as solely true and making commitments, look into each one (as if you're looking for a life partner) and see which one feels right to you.

Answer 3

I believe that the bible exists.

I believe it is a powerful book.

I believe that it is not something that can be considered a reliable source in arguments, since it has been translated so many times and even in one language, no two people interpret it the same way.

I believe it is treasured by millions.

I believe it has value since it is treasured.

I believe that whether you read the Bible, the Talmud, the Qu'ran, the Vedas, or any other holy text, you are merely taking different roads to the same end.

No one can be sure if any one is the right one. Go with your gut.

Answer 4

I do not believe the bible nor the Qu'ran are the work of God. These books were written by men, and men are imperfect. Therefore the writing is imperfect. You take the good pieces and leave the bad ones.

Answer 5

I do not believe in god. The bible might have some good points, but I don't think all (or a lot of it applies). One thing I know is that the bible is copies of different peoples writings put together. People also wrote a lot of things that were never put in the bible.
I try to focus on trying to be nice to people and what makes sense to me instead of worrying what the bible says. i do not like when society values a person according to his/her religion.

Answer 6

i'm catholic and i've read somewhat of the bible. i don't really believe, it's just a bunch of good stories. i think the church made up half the stuff so that people would be afraid and go to church and give the church money. i don't believe in sin, hell (the bible version), or demons. i believe we're in hell right now and that everyone will go to heaven. even murderers, rapist, all of them because God creates everyone in his image and he loves ALL his children. i think he puts people like that here to test everyone. so most of the bible i really don't believe, but like i said they make good stories.
