Poll Question:  Have you actually READ the Bible?  How much of it?
408203
Yes, I have read the whole Bible, and much of it repeatedly.  Almost every time I read it I either am enriched by something I may have already learned years ago, or I learn something new and am enriched by that.  \n\nI discovered that preceding my reading with a quick prayer to God that He help me see or understand whatever it is that He wants me to see or understand, He does that, and I learn and benefit even more.\n\nI agree with the following quotes:\n\n"The Bible is the chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide to future felicity."  - Noah Webster\n\n"A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education."  - Theodore Roosevelt\n\nI have also read many books about the Bible and which make reference to the Bible in the areas of history, archeology, astronomy, creation vs. evolution, sociology, etc.\n\nI wouldn't trade the Bible and its wisdom for all the money in the world.  That's how much it means to me in my daily life.

Yup I do and its funny in a weird sort of way how people will adapt what is in the Bible to suit their own needs. The book hasnt changed in a few thousand years I doubt its going to any time soon. Its all a matter of personal interpretation I guess but it shouldnt change every time you read it or speak about it to someone if you are a person of your convictions then it will stay the same.

The bible is not to be taken literally.

Good point. So what should we do? We should check the facts or information given in the newspaper before we decide whether to believe the contents of the newspaper.\n\nThe same with the present Bible, we should check the facts or information given in the Bible before we decide whether to believe or not the contents of the Bibles.\n\nAs we know there is no dispute that there are many versions of the Bible. There is the New King James version. There is the Catholic Authorized Version. And many more.

And you believed it??\n\nHA!!!!\n\nNo one should take the Bible seriously, at least not as a scientific textbook.\n\nIt was written by ignorant, superstitious Bronze Age nomads who knew nothing of modern science and biological specifics.

The Bible is not the silver bullet, of course. I do believe in God and in Jesus's ressurection, however, there are parts of the Bible that sound like pure nonsense to me while other parts contain great, true wisdoms everyone should live by.

I have, but I'm not a Christian... so it's really not "my" Bible, is it?

Christian: Well...um, because it's all in the bible!\n\nGod: That's one religious book.  There are a lot of them, all with contradictory information (sometimes, in the same book).  Why did you pick the bible to believe in?\n\nChristian: Uh...well, because it says in the bible that it's the word of God!\n\nGod: And the other books don't say the same thing?\n\nChristian: Well...um...\n\nGod:  You never even bothered to READ the other books, did you?\n\nChristian: Um...\n\nGod: Did you even bother to read the BIBLE?  Did you ever bother to figure out what it was you actually said you believed, or did you just say, "I'm a Christian" and "I believe in the bible" because that's what your parents told you to say?\n\nChristian: Um...\n\nGod: Or was it the heaven and hell bit?  Did you just say that you were a Christian and that you believed in the bible because you were scared witless of going to hell and you really really wanted to get into heaven?  Nevermind being a good person for its own sake; you people have to be threatened and bribed like little kids...\n\nChristian: Um...so does this mean I don't get into heaven?\n\nGod: (sigh)

OK,\n1. The Bible is unique in its continuity, circulation, translation, survival, teachings and influence on literature.\n\n2. The bible is trustworthy. The Bibliographical test, the internal evidence test, the external evidence test, and it confirmation by Archeology.\n\nI could go on and on. \nAnd as for the bad stuff that goes on in the world, it is man, not God who chose to do evil things. It is called feel will.

Surprisingly accurate!\nI'm "mainstream to conservative Christian/Protestant" (100%)\n\nConsidering that I am a Christian (I consider myself an 'evangelical' Christian, which is a more conservative 'brand' I suppose), that was very spot on!\n\nHowever, I wonder how sensitive it is, given that I also got 80% for Mormon/Jehvoah's Witness, which I am not...\n\nthere was a lot of other issues the quiz could have tapped into, for example- how humans know about God, holy books (the Bible etc), who was Jesus (apparently Muslim and other religions believe he existed, but give him different roles).

Many people that believe what is written in the Bible to be true have never read the Bible from cover to cover.\n\nIt's easy to pick them out too.  When they make statements about the bible, they start off by saying:  "my pastor told me".\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat's some deal, six questions for the price of one.
