Christians, do you believe in every word of the Bible?

Question

Literally or metaphorically, do you believe it is all the word of God?

Answer 1

the bible is God's breathed word.. I believe every word it says...

Answer 2

I don't know about all Christians, but for me, I know that alot of the authors of some of the books in the Bible, were poets and writers. So it's only natural that their words be metaphorical in some scriptures and literal in the others.
Either way, I know that God knows what He wanted to go into the Bible, and even what He didn't. If someone wrote something in the Bible, that He didn't say, that's considered blaspheme and a big fat lie!
So it all depends on the person reading the Bible. You have to have an open mind so that you don't miss what each scripture has for to you, personally. My pastor always says that everyone needs to ask God for understanding when reading the Bible, because not every word is going to mean the same thing to the same people at the same time.
(Hope you got that)...

But to answer your question...yes I believe every word!!!!

I hope I helped you...!!!!!

Answer 3

Early Christians discerned what books were scriptural and what books were not scriptural. The books that were scriptural were included in the Bible and the books that were not scriptural were not included in the Bible and called apocrypha.

If you pick up different versions of the Bible, there are different books included when you compare the Bibles.

Swedenborg defines scripture as the writings that have a spiritual sense as well as a literal sense.

FAQ: What books are in the Word and what are apocrypha?


"The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; but those books which have not the internal sense, are not the Word. The books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the five Books of Moses, the Book of Joshua, the Book of Judges, the two Books of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi: and in the New Testament, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Apocalypse. The rest have not the internal sense" (Arcana Coelestia n. 10325 or Heavenly Doctrine n. 266).





FAQ: Why different testaments and books in the Word?


"As regards the Word particularly, it has existed in every age, though not the Word we possess at the present day. Another Word existed in the Most Ancient Church before the Flood, and yet another Word in the Ancient Church after the Flood. Then came the Word written through Moses and the Prophets in the Jewish Church, and finally the Word written through the Evangelists in the new Church. The reason why the Word has existed in every age is that by means of the Word there is a communication between heaven and earth, and also that the Word deals with goodness and truth, by which a person is enabled to live in eternal happiness. In the internal sense therefore the Lord alone is the subject, for all goodness and truth are derived from Him" (Arcana Coelestia n. 2895).

Answer 4

Yes, I do believe it all is God's words, and they contain God's love and heart in the accounts and in the psalms, songs, poetry, allegories and parables. I don't believe it was God's purpose in giving the topics they wrote which later formed the bible to list a bunch or rules, cause us to be conformed to some church with the demonstration for faith some tithe. I don't believe that God gave it for any other reason to give a general picture that He is righteous and good always and that judgment always comes upon selfishness, which we see played out all of time in our own world. Why should we judge God for being no different than us! If we hold a certain standard for behavior doesn't it make sense that God would too? If He is only Good why would he ever want to permanently allow bad to exist. But He's said He's planned a day where he'd judge the earth. Yet his mercy's extended to us anyway because He loves us. And He gave the bible to us so we can begin to understand Him. It was only the basics that He gave. If He's big enough to create this Universe then wouldn't it mean that a book written to tell lots of the details of God would have to be huge! This is just as compilation of the basics because He knew most of us didn't know anything about Him. He did it for love.

Answer 5

I don't believe any of it is the "Word of God." Not only is that concept unbiblical, it is ahistorical as well, and goes against the grain of 1600 years worth of Biblical interpretation.

I believe that the Bible is an ancient document that was written, editted, and colated by many hands over many centuries. It reflects many of the myths, customs, legends, traditions, and cultural paradigms of its authors.

I do, however, place greater confidence in the mind of the ancient man, and I am willing to give the authors the benefit of the doubt on many issues. I see no reason, for example, to assume that the author of Genesis was describing a universal (i.e. global) flood. The author probably based his account on a very real event, but added allegorical elements drawn from other near eastern sources.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe in teh Word of God the King James Version.

Answer 7

Honestly? I have trouble with some parts of it. However, I've discovered that there is evidence to support a good amount of it. The rest...I just try REALLY hard to have faith that it happened. But yes, I do have questions about the Bible, many of which still haven't been answered. Only the most important ones (like the ones about Jesus, for example) have been answered, actually.

Answer 8

It's both and yes we do believe in everything the Bible says! The Word of God is our Sword. It's our only weapon against the enemy. Even the devil believes everything the Bible says...in fact he knows it a lot better than any of us Christians can know it!

Answer 9

pricey An Atheist, There are not any 'deadly flaws' in Scripture. each and every word or word in Scripture ought to be understood interior the context of Biblical canon. It’s significant to comprehend the author’s personality and the time and target market of a paticular e book. we glance on the literary device, the language and grammar used. It’s heavy stuff and takes a lengthy time period to interpret historic Scripture.

Answer 10

yes
yes literal
100% God's Word.
If someone wants to deny 1% of God's word:
who decides what is not really God's word?who decides what is a metaphor?who referees any disputes?how would they reinstate a word?Read 2 Timithy 3:16-17

Answer 11

No.

The only evidence that anyone can possibly present backing the absurd notion is that the book itself claims that it is God's word.

A critical analysis of the Bible reveals errors, contradictions, and outright impossibilities. One would think that if the Bible were God's word he'd have gotten his facts right.
