Do you believe that the Bible has been translated correctly? all the "right" books left in? and the wrong ones for sure left out? Do you believe it to be 100% pure and unaltered? ....even though... so many Men throughout the ages have changed it? do you REALLY REALLY think it is ACURATE?

Yes, it is 100% accurate. No one has ever disproved any of it. The Bible's prophecies are 100% true..........Isaiah the prophet descibed in vivid detail about Jesus' crucfixion, 700 years before it happened......and crucifixion was unknown in his time. Details like the piercing of hands and feet, spear thrust into His side, soldiers gambling for His clothes........the ridicule and mockery He endured as He died that cruel death. This is just one example of fulfilled prophecy. I wish folks like you would read the Bible with an open mind.......it is an awesome book! BLESSINGS!

No. I believe the Bible like most so called religious writings is mostly heresy. For instance, all the information about the man erroneously called Jesus Christ was written some 60 to 70 years after the death of the man some call Jesus. His real name, his Hebrew name was Yeshua Ben Joseph and it was too difficult for the Greeks to translate Yeshua (They had no Y sound) into the Greek language and so they transliterated it into the name Jesus which the man himself, in a recent channeling from him, said was based on the name of the Greek pagan God Zesus It became Jesus. The Bible give none of this information. It would be more correct to call him Jesus, The Christed one where the word Christ means to be fully enlightened. There are other Christed one, few in number but never the less, alive on the planet at this time. Yeshua was given his Christ hood in Egypt when he was around 25 years old by the then most enlightened men of his age. Men he had met in India, Persia, China, Syria, Egypt and other nations in Asia. Yeshua studied under the sages of those nations before returning to do the work he did in Palestine. So No, the Bible is not accurate and by no means complete. It does have some elements of truth as well as a lot of mythology.

Not a Cristian. However am going to answer. This will make some mad others think: the Bible can't be 100% aaccurate because man has changed it so many times. Remember that man is not perfect and we do make mistakes. therefore there is no way that through thousands of years th Bible has not changed and is still the same. translations get mixed up and judgments aren't perfect. So no the Bible is not 100% true or accurate anymore. That does not mean that it was 100% true and true at one piont just not anymore.

Ok, here goes alot of thumbs down probably, BUT, I think alot of it is bull. It's fine to believe in whatever, which is probably how the majority of it was kept and unkept, by whatever, whoever felt it was true and false, you know? I mean, if I came acrossed some very old document, I could rewrite whatever parts I wanted and scrap the rest, only keeping the parts I BELIEVED to be true. If that's all anyone else ever saw, then they'd just believe those parts because that would be all they knew. I believe alot of it was altered for sure, but a bunch of "holy rollers" will dissagree with me I'm sure. There wasn't no real documentation back then, we're still guessing what kinds of dinosaurs once roamed here, we're not even sure if some of them are alive today in the deepest depths of the oceans! Anything is possible, but I think the likeliness of the bible being totally true are impossible. I'm not saying I don't believe in god however, I just don't believe all of the theories. Unless we have a primate still alive today from back then, then I feel what we're being taught by the bible could very well be alot of speculation. (my opinion of course)

1) translating from one language into another language will always change the message, translating is an aproximation process. the same word in one language can have a different 'value' in the other language.

2) the context in wich the bible was written is not 100 % clear, and context ,( what where the commonn usual things in that time ) is approximated as well, so again a source of errors.

3) a lot of the bible is written in so called 'magical' / poetic language that is open to a lot of interpretations even in the original language.

Now you should be able to answer your question "is the bible 100% accurate "

.

Due to the fact that these
Christians use the Protestant Old Testament which is lacking 7 entire books 2 (Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus/Sirach, Baruch, I Maccabees, and II Maccabees), 3 chapters of Daniel and 6 chapters of Esther may be one of the reasons they ask catholics so many questions.

For the Sola Scriptura this is too bad .
In the 16th c., Luther removed those books from the canon that lent support to orthodox doctrine, relegating them to an appendix. Removed in this way were books that supported such things as:

prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45),

Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7),

intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14),

and intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15).

The lesson, though, is this: relying on the "Bible alone" is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message. While Scripture is "given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. It is the Church that is the "pillar and ground of Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15)! Jesus did not come to write a book; He came to redeem us, and He founded a Sacramental Church through His apostles to show us the way. It is to them, to the Church Fathers, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith, to the living Church that is guided by the Holy Spirit, and to Scripture that we must prayerfully look.

The Bible can not be 100% accurate.. how can a book that has been changed be accurate.. the only book that is true is the Quran, which God has protected from being changed

Quran is accurate, it’s a challenge to find a mistake in a book written since more than 13 centuries
