do you agree with this statement: "The Bible may be inerrant, but the people reading it aren't"?

Question

so, how about Evangelists who claim to preach God's words using the Bible? are you sure they are still preaching God's words or they are preaching their own mere fallable interpretation of it?

Answer 2

great question- one thing that I have learned in my years as a Christian- that I am not responsible for anyone else but myself. Granted we pray that our pastor's preach the Word correctly- however pastors, no matter how great they are still human and they can interpret it wrong- so we must be very sensitive ourselves to the Holy Spirit, so we are not interpreting it our way either. One day God will make all things clear, but in the meantime, He has sent us the Holy Spirit as the One that can interpret scripture for us. I read a story once that really has stuck with me. Do you know how they teach people that are going to work for the FBI, to tell counterfeit money? They do not show them fake bills, they show them only the real thing, over and over and over again, so when they come across something fake they will know it. So if we, whether we are Pastors or not, should study the Word of God so well, that when we hear something that is false we will recognize it because we know that it is not what the Word of God says. Pray for your pastor that God illumines him with the truth.

"Initially there were 34 gospels that were compiled by word of mouth. Four were chosen for unclear reasons and 30 were left behind [burned]. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,

Although Nontrinitarian beliefs continued to multiply, and among some people (such as the Lombards in the West) it was dominant for hundreds of years afterward, the Trinitarians gained the immense power of the Roman Empire. Nontrinitarians typically argue that the primitive beliefs of the Christianity were systematically suppressed (often to the point of death), and that the historical record, perhaps also including the Scriptures of the New Testament, was altered as a consequence.

Answer 4

Yes, I agree. You need to read and study for yourself. Your perspective will change as you grow and age and experience life and you will come to see the varying levels of understanding. The Bible is a lifelong companion.

Answer 5

I won't concede that the bible is "inerrant", but I will agree that any merit it may have is completely thrown out the window by their literal interpretations.

Answer 6

No, what the bible states actually happens, when you follow God's word, by your faith and obedience. If they are preaching sound doctorine.

Answer 7

Listen to what they say and compare it to the Bible. Do they agree or disagree? How does what they say jive with other respected ministers?

Answer 8

No. The Bible is nothing BUT errant and the people reading it are brainwashed.

Answer 9

God gave us the bible, and he gives us pastors after his own heart, pastors who love the people of God and feed them the pure word of God.

Answer 10

Anything and everything is flawed by its own design... for they are static. Anything that is not flexible is condemned to decease under its own weight.
