Who believes in the Bible?

who believes in the bible and jesus christ

Answer #1

“Do you believe in the Bible?”

  No!

In contrast to believing in the Bible, I believe:

  1. That God is that Creative/Causative Force that exists before the beginning of the universe/time and continues to exist outside of the universe and time.

  2. That “Force” created/caused the spiritual/soul entities to come into being.

  3. The spiritual/soul entities continued the “Creation” with the “Big Bang”. And, through evolution and possibly subtle manipulations, have caused the current state of affairs.

  4. The spirits/souls choose to inhabit the various physical bodies that they have created in order to experience physical reality.

  5. When bodies die the spirit/soul continues to exist and often times reincarnates into another body in order to continue its growth.

  6. The purpose of it all is for the spirits/souls (entities) to gain knowledge and experience and to ultimately rejoin or evolve back into the Oneness of God.

  The Bible is a book of history and guidance for peoples of certain times. The Old Testament was meant for the societies and peoples of ancient times. The New Testament was meant to change much of the Old Testament law and to guide the society and people of two thousand years ago.

The Bible worked during the time periods it was meant to cover. Its guidance protected the people and gave value and purpose to their lives.

The problem is that the Bible was meant for past eras and was successful therein. It, however, did not keep up with the times and technologies during the advancement of mankind.

There may still be some lessons that can be learned from studying the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. But, the lessons must be tempered with the knowledge that exists in the current time period.

Man and his technology has evolved considerably since Biblical times. The Bible has not evolved accordingly. It is therefore the province of man to interpret the whole Bible and attempt to allow its relevant parts to fit into the lifestyles of the current era.

As long as they do not infringe on the rights of others, men are free to follow the teachings of the Bible for themselves. Your rights and beliefs end where mine begin.

  The Bible is a “crutch” which is necessary for some but not for all. It is a book written by men with the purpose of helping to guide other men through some of the pitfalls that life has to offer. It is also meant to give hope and purpose to those who may have no other way of finding same.

Just as with other fictional works, it is not meant to be taken literally but parabolically. Parts of its historical accounts may be factual while other parts are symbolic. And, yet other parts are simply devices wherein to protect the health and well-being of people of that era.

It takes many religions to give guidance to those who are in need of direction. Some use the Bible as their basis while others use other Books. They all serve a needed purpose. They all benefit the society of man.

Just because the Bible (or some other Book) is right for you does not mean or make it right for everyone else. The human race is a diverse species. It has many different cultures and Beliefs. Grant to each their right to choose that which fits them.

  From my chosen path I stray, Yet my God any’er turns away; For I have learned – and understand, That where God is – is where I am!

Answer #2

Sliverwings, I am not angry, why are you?

Why is that you can challenge non-believers, but we cannot challenge you? If you post something on a message board, be prepared to find people who disagree.

Answer #3

First off this site is not a religious site. It is a discussion board. I have done nothing other than attempt to engage in discussion. I have been ridiculed for doing nothing but expressing my opinions.

You have always had the option to ignore me. I really could care less…

Answer #4

Well you live in the same world I live in and that world revolves around the sun. Science told us that. Do you deny that? Because the christians denied it at first and ridiculed the scientists who said it.

Lilix, are you an astrophysicist? Have you studied the theory thoroughly to come up with your hypothosis that the big bang theory is “rediculious”?

Our existence is not an accident, it is the results of millions of years of evolution. Just because something wasn’t designed by some supernatural being does not mean it happens by accident.

Answer #5

hey lilix, calm down. The questioner didn’t say only believers should answer this question. I answered the question as I saw fit. You can do the same, or you can rail against posters who you disagree with.

The bible is only a book of fables written by men who didn’t understand the world around them, so they made up stories to explain it.

There is no proof that the bible represents true events. In fact believing in it goes against everyhting we have actually learned about our physical world.

Answer #6

I believe, ignore jamahl he is just trying to agravate you, because he has nothing better to do. than come into a site he doesn;’t in and answer question about a God he doesn’t believe in, to people he doesn’t believe in. let him enjoy his pointless endeavors to unexplain something he can’t possible understand that God loves even him and gave His life for jamahl. the gift is given. its up to him to accept it.

Answer #7

lilix - When Goliath was taunting Gods people, he was trying to bring them down, the same thing works today, we just have to rise above it, and seek God for more power, and more love, and more forgiveness, because it is just possible, that the reason for the provocation to begin with, my very well to bring out the worst in us.

jimahl grrr screw you you inconsiderate… people like that make me angry. I DO!!! Jesus Christ my savior

I too, feel indignation, and righteous anger rise up within my spirit, but, I also know that God teaches us to walk in the fruit of the spirit. And when we don’t ,the world is waiting to pounce on us, and judge us.

Father God, I pray for the strength, for each Christian , myself included, that comes to this board or to any other, where people are that do not understand nor believe in you, or your word, your spirit or your power, I pray that we as your followers will be led by your spirit, and be able to resist the temptation to become angry, in the face of doubt and unbelief. We give you praise, in Jesus name. Amen.

Answer #8
