Only the dumbest people are afraid to question the Bible.

Yes, because I believe what the Bible says.\n\n"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strenghthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my rightious hand."- Isaiah 41:10\n\n"The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid."- Psalm 56:3\n\n"I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." -Isaiah 41:13\n\n"For He will command His angels concerning you to gaurd you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."-Psalms 91:11-12\n\n"Because he loves me," says the Lord,"I will rescue him; I will protect him for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Whith a long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."-Psalm 91:14-16\n\n Jesus said,"....And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."- Matthew 28:20 b\n\n"We say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid."- Hebrews 13:6\n\nYes, God is with me and for me, by His grace through His Son Jesus, I am saved.\n\nGod bless you. I'm praying for you.

We don't...it's not really our job to be able to answer all the tough ones...we've experienced the Truth that Jesus offers and we in no way claim to have all the answers. God doesn't need to be explained. The Bible doesn't need to be explained. Christians don't need to be explained. It's more than a belief system, so all the questions trying to point out the inconsistencies really don't make any difference to us...it's God's thing...we've just taken His Hand.

Don't worry- not biblical. God said watch out for man, he will deceive you.

There is some evidence that there are hidden messages within the bible.  Primarily, however, we should always take the attitude that what the bible says plainly, is truth.\nThose who study it daily, find they agree more with others who study it daily, also.  It is the casual reader who finds a novel interpretation and doesn't evaluate it in light of other scripture, considered proper hermeneutics, that there is a problem.\n\nhttp://www.bible-researcher.com/biblical-interpretation.html

Some people will just make responses like that out of puroseful ignorance. Others try to find contradictions in the bible and use them to negate its authenticity. An example of this is the "Skeptic's Annotated Bible" which can be found at the link below. The truth is that there are no contradictions in the bible, and any seemingly to be "contradictions" can easily be explained, rationalized, and cleared up through proper study. \n\nhttp://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/by_name.html\n\nVisit the site; then email me through my profile any contradiction and I'll clear it up for you.

It is not.  Just ask a Jew.  In fact, most Christians do not try to spin that lie anymore either.

You feel about it however you decide.  You can love it or hate it or anything inbetween.  Just because something isn't true, it doesn't mean people will abandon it.  The Bible says it is true, therefore it is?  Is that logical.

I would just ignore what the bible says otherwise you will have all kinds of confusing questions like this one.

I am not afraid of, nor am I offended by gay people. Since when does gay mean you can't keep your hands to yourself???\nAs far as the Bible saying 'One man shall not lie with another' B/S\nIf we were so concerned about living our lives according to the bible, why is there murder? Or adultery? Or blasphemy? or anything else that the Bible condems???\nLive your life the way you want, love whomever you want, don't hurt me, and I won't hurt you. That's how it should be. Period.

I posted a question a while back on discrepancies in the bible.  It was not an attacking question, not rude, not, IMHO, offensive.  It was a question.  It basically stated that I had read somewhere that every verse in the bible was directly contradicted elsewhere and I asked whether it was true and where I might find documentation if so. \n\nThe question was deleted.\n\nThe moral of the story is, hide in a corner and don't do anything to offend anyone.  Don't do anything anyone disagrees with.  Wait, some people might be offended if you hide in a corner.  Just kill yourself.  Oh, no, Christians are morally outraged at suicide (although not at murder of an unborn child, drug addiction, murder in the name of 'patriotism' or 'for God' or as punishment for crime....) so better not kill yourself.  Um.....I guess just stand around and try not to breathe anyone else's air and no one will get mad, report you, ask for your questions to be removed.....whatever.

NO!!! It proves that God does not like to be tested \n\nDeuteronomy 6:16 \nYe shall not tempt the Lord your God\n\nMatthew 4:7, Luke 4:12 \nThou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God \n\nLuke 4:2-12\n2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry\n\n3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."\n\n4 Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written,'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'"\n\n5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.\n\n6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.\n\n7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."\n\n8 Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written,'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"\n\n9 He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,\n\n10 for it is written,'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'\n\n11 and,'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"\n\n12 Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said,'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

that is fine except for the tiny fact it contradicts everything written before it. Before Jesus you will find no place in the bible that says that the Law is ever to be fulfilled.

Truth that the devil does not want you to know.  \nJoh 12:40  He (the devil) hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I (Jesus)  should heal them.

You're not supposed to test God because... wait... lean in for this one... it's a secret...\n\n*whispers* ...this is the religious person's way of getting out of such silly things as 'evidence' and 'intellectual honesty'...*/whispers*\n\nSo yeah -- don't question God.  In fact, don't question anything!  Being a sheep is best.  That's what Jesus said, right?  ;)
