Let me clarify: I run into a lot of Christans who I ask this in two parts. "Doyou beliive everything in the bible?" then "Have you read the entire bible?" I get a lot of Yes then No. So really I'm asking are these people bad Christans or is it OK to just accept what you don't know.
Yes I am Christan.
No I havent read the entire bible.
But I don't claim to believe what I havn't yet read, but I'm working on it.
Kudos to those who have read the entire thing. I hope you found the key to salvation somewhere between those covers.

I have read the entire Bible
There is alot in there.
There is some history...archeology has validated a good bit of it already.
There is some prophecy...some of it has already happened, some is happening now, some is yet to happen.
There is some great advice....Proverbs comes to mind, but it is not the only book that has great advice for living in it.
And, there are some Parables. For those who don't know what a parable is, it is a story told to make a point...and it is sort of the Lord's m.o. When Jesus (Who is God in the flesh, Emmanuel, God with us) was here on earth, He told alot of parables.
So, do I believe everything in the Bible?
You bet I do...
Just as it is written.

Yes, I've read several major translations and versions of the Bible, cover to cover, numerous times, and I've done extensive reseach on many key biblical "threads".
I believe the original scriptures are the inerrant, inspired word of God, and that many of the existing translations are good faith efforts at bringing that inspired word to the masses, but are not themselves inerrant.
I also believe that way too many believers attempt to substitute the Bible for the authentic Church, and therefore place a holy, but completely unsuitable barrier between themselves and Jesus Christ.
This remains the greatest heresy of our times.

Having read the Bible in Greek, Latin, Slovak and English, cover to cover, having specialized in Both Old and New Testament, as part of my studies, and have continued since seminary, to read scripture version's, cover to cover, yes I beleive what I'm reading. This is the basis's of all Christian thought and teaching. It mould's the christian community, even with all the differance's that there are between the denomination's, it mould's the wider community together, and beleif is part of that...so yes I do beleive in "all the Divine Word"...I hope that you do to.
Blessings to you

Yes, I do believe everything in the Bible!
It would make no sense to believe just part of it, besides, the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
Many people have tried to stamp it out
but the Word of God stands forever.
