Why does it matter to you what we believe. I do believe everything in the bible but other people believe other things and we should respect that. Whether or not you believe in the bible we are all human beings and all live on this planet. If we think of ourselves as better than someone else because we believe in one persons bible then we are mistaken and wrong about what faith really is. Religion is a choice and we should respect that choice not condem someone for their own beliefs.. I quit attending the catholic church because of these so called christians that judge others but that doesn't mean I have abandon my belief in my religion just my belief on those that judge. I treat jewish, muslims, islam, hindu, buddist, other christian faith people the same and with respect.because I am not the judge I am just a disciple trying to follow what I believe and be an overall better human being. If more of us were like this we would not have columbines, waco, 911 in our life we would have peace.

I do. It says God inspired all the writers of the books of the bible, so everything that was written was God approved.
There are some things that I don't believe we need to practice anymore, because the times have changed. Like having women preachers for example or animal sacrifice. Also a lot of the rules were meant for the Jew's. I am not a Jew, I would be considered a Gentile, a Christian.
Hope this helps.

They're called Fundamentalists.
The Fundamentalists have built a shrine to their ignorance. It's the New Creation Museum in Kentucky. In this museum, the Fundamentalists portray people living with the dinosaurs. They even portray dinosaurs on Noah's ark. It's a laughing stock, even to other Christians.
It's my understanding that the only part of the bible that's supposed to be read literally, is the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). These gospels are supposed to be exactly that: GOSPEL. The gospel truth. Incontrovertible. The rest of the bible is supposed to be read as a spiritual guide.
Clearly, the first and last books of the bible (Genesis and Revelations) are largely symbolic.
Common sense isn't something you suspend when reading the bible. The Fundamentalists need to get a life.

Your source of education isn't properly suited. the various very previous manuscripts of Bible books ascertain that the Bible has come all the way down to us because of the fact the inspired be conscious of God. super care exchange into taken to guard and transmit the Bible wisely. “THE final commencing place for any doubt that the Scriptures have come all the way down to us appreciably as they have been written has now been bumped off.” those are the words of Sir Frederic Kenyon. Why had Kenyon come to this end? It exchange into because of the fact newly chanced on papyrus manuscripts have been dated so close to to the time of the composition of the Scriptures that he ought to describe the era as “negligible.” yet those papyruses confirmed no significant version from greater moderen manuscripts. This shown “the authenticity and the final integrity” of the later texts from which the Bible has been translated. Why had Kenyon come to this end?

God is so awesome we cannot comprehend His ways because His ways our higher than ours.The Bible is like that .No one can understand the Bible completely.There are some things that God does leave as a mystery.If we knew everything then we wouldn't need God like we do.and believe me we all need Jesus.GREAT QUESTION SPUNKIEPINK85.I give you a star.Look at the feedback you are getting.

Me. Why would believe in only some of it? It's either all or nothing. It's either toilet paper or the inspired words of God to his creation.
