Have you read it? Do you acknowledge the information it contains? Do you disagree with it whole-heartedly? Do you disagree with just certain parts of it? Do you pick and choose what to believe and ignore the rest?

so far, the answers have been what i expected to read.
if you arent open-minded enough to... nevermind. nothing will change your mind and you have every right to believe what you want.

I never read it because it depends on a source document. It is better just to read the source document.
Take Swedenborg's theology for instance, it is better to read Swedenborg's writing than somebody commenting on the writing.

If I read a work of literature with the sole purpose of criticizing it, I bet I could find tons of things wrong with it. With a volume so large, and so old as the Bible I could probably find many things that appear to be "inconsistencies" on the surface,however, was I able to understand the vernacular of the time it was written I would realize that it is the same message written for different people.
The gist of that is, the Old Testament and the New Testament may at points seem to be polar opposites, however, this is just in the language and imagery used, the message is the same throughout the Bible, the ways of expression change with the times.

Never heard of it, so, really never read it. I have a Bible and see no reason to have another, until this one wears out.
I also know that the Bible we have today may not be complete as many books may have been lost or destroyed. But, I do know who the Bible is about as John 5:39-40 says and I put my trust in Christ Jesus not what I read and choose to believe or ignore. I just choose to believe Jesus.

John 8:42-47
Jesus said to them: “If God were YOUR Father, YOU would love me, for from God I came forth and am here. Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth. Â Why is it YOU do not know what I am speaking? Because YOU cannot listen to my word. Â YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]. Â Because I, on the other hand, tell the truth, YOU do not believe me. Â Who of YOU convicts me of sin? If I speak truth, why is it YOU do not believe me? Â He that is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why YOU do not listen, because YOU are not from God.”

God said His word is absolute truth. God said His word will not return to Him void. I'm not bothering to look at such a website, but when Judgment begins I don't want to be in their shoes.
The King James Version of the Bible is God's infallible Word and it will not change. DO NOT pick and choose God's Word, because YOU WILL LOSE!
