Does the bible contain false doctrine? (tradition, translation, faith, Biblical)

"i ask this because i think slight errors don't matter as long as it's message stays true."

* The problem is, depending on interpretation, the traditions of your chosen religion/danomination the messages can be quite different.

There's a concept I've been pondering on for some time now and someone put it into words beautifully the other day on another debate board. The topic being discussed was, of course, who is "right" who has "truth" if the holy ghost supposedly guides readers to correct interpretation and so many varainces occur.

Perhaps, the holy ghost, guides each persone to understand and come away with the message that THEY need to hear.

There are lots of good messages in the bible. And lots of them are used for horrible things and have been in the past as well. I voted "yes, alot" not because the bible is inherrantly bad or wrong but because the generally accepted 'versions' are, IMO, far from what they were intended to be.

Which bible are you talking about? The new testament? 0.0

I voted yes

Example of false doctrine; Rom. 6:1 "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase?"
If this was not an existent issue of Paul's time, then it would seem useless for Paul to bring up this false doctrine in the form of a question.

Example of true doctrine; Rom 6:2 "May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?"

Other : I don't think it was correct to begin with. Too much was excluded and men decided which books would be kept in or left out. Human's are not infallible therefore leaving the whole documents reputation tarnished IMHO.

Since Romas 6: 1-2 is a single statement how can the first half be "wrong doctrine"?

False? Can't tell for sure, but contradictive? Definitely so. Can the contradictions be explained away? Some perhaps but doing violence to the text . I am of the belief that the Bible contains much that is good (alot of it borrowed) but taking together ( both testaments) it makes no sense as a whole because it obviously contradicts itself. Besides that there are some problems with the theology that posits God as Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omni Love.

It is flawed but some of its flaws can be corrected by better theology. However, I can't see the Christians been able to do the needed reformation.

I Want To Ask You.
In The Bible It Mentioned
Jacob Wrestled With God And Win Him?
Is There A Believer Of God Can Say It Is True.
So Of Course Bible Contains False Doctrins.

How is that "false doctrine?" The story is obviously metaphorical. Does it not speak to the truth that we all wrestle with God in the dark? And just when we think we've got God cornered, God plays the trump card? What's false about that?
